Andrew Gillum was the 2018 Democrat candidate for Florida Governor who came within a few thousand votes of winning the race. He was hired as a CNN contributor. a few months later he was found by police, naked, high on drugs and incapacitated in a hotel room with male prostitutes in Miami.
Today, Andrew Gillum was indicted on 21 charges of corruption, bribery, conspiracy, wire-fraud and soliciting campaign contributions for personal use.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Andrew Gillum, the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor, has been indicted on 21 federal charges including conspiracy and wire fraud for funneling donations through third parties back to himself for personal use, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida said Gillum, 42, is also charged with making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for claiming he didn’t receive or ask for anything from two undercover agents posing as developers. The undercover agents offered gifts and money in exchange for support for projects.
Sharon Janet Lettman-Hicks, 53 and the owner of a communications company, is a codefendant on the wire fraud charges for funneling money to Gillum in the form of paychecks, U.S. Attorney Jason R. Coody said in a statement.
Prosecutors said the pair “conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose.”
[…] Gillum met with undercover FBI agents posing as developers while he was mayor and during his campaign for governor. His associates sought donations from the agents, and suggested ways to provide money without listing them as political contributions, including paying for a fundraising dinner, according to the indictment.
The agents were asked to contribute $100,000 to Gillum’s campaign and said the money could be given to a private company in order to keep the agents’ names out of campaign finance documents. The agents said they would want favorable consideration on development projects and were told that wouldn’t be a problem, according to the indictment.
The agents also met with Gillum in New York City and paid for his hotel, food and drink, a boat ride and a ticket to see “Hamilton,” according to the indictment.
Later, other FBI agents interviewed Gillum and asked if he had contact with the undercover agents. Gillum told them that he never asked for or received anything from the “developers,” and stopped communicating with them after they tried to link contributions to support for their projects, the indictment said.
An individual not named in the indictment donated $250,000 to Gillum’s political committee, but only $100,000 was put toward the campaign. Gillum and Lettman-Hicks said most of the remaining money was going to a voter education program, knowing the service wouldn’t be provided, according to the indictment. (read more)

There should be more charges then that but we will see if he is punished.
The 0bamas will intervene.
He is probably bath house Barry’s bath house buddy.
He won’t serve a day he’ll conveniently develop a severe case of the Monkey Pox …. from a “blood transfusion” upon conviction and the judge will forgo a prison sentence in favor of a “bathhouse detention” fearing Gillum will cause an epidemic in the Federal pen.
Barrack and his husband are both homosexuals so it is pretty obvious they will try to defend this pervert POS. We have some real winners in the democratic party, winners of outright perversion!
Something is amiss. Palace intrigue?
Cue suspicious cat.
I will tell you what is amiss! Think if Gillum had actually won and had become the Governor of Florida. The Swamp/FBI/IC would have owned him! This scam was pre-2018, so why the delay until now to prosecute? After the naked/drug/male prostitute in the Miami hotel room exposure–Gillum has become worthless to the Swampees. So, the token Dem sacrificeL SEE the DOJ really does dispense equal Justice. (Yeah, Puke!)
He is obviously disposable!
They are just emptying their trash.
Certainly sounds like entrapment too me – our FBI at work trying to own anyone they can blackmail. Frightening stuff. Obviously he did not win so he can now be thrown aside.

Good call Jerry. What a freak.

She was probably like Hillary, hoping to have her own political career so stuck with her POS husband. But these married “bi” guys are putting their wives at great risk of contracting HIV or other STDs.
Monkeypox…
“The Great Straight Hope”
If Gay boy J Edgar Hoover was still in charge of the FBI – he would be proud of how the FBI controls dirty politicians with blackmail and entrapment- Gay Hoover himself was blackmailed by the MAFIA over his lifestyle- Hence, for 40 YEARS Hoover spouted ” THERE is NO such thing as the MAFIA” – Now the FBI operates as the MAFIA.
Called this back in 2018/19.
Guy has always given off the scammer vibe.
What factors would have to be at play for the FBI to actually investigate and charge a fellow Democrat? How did Gillum run afoul of the Democrat establishment?
Obama’s best bud and they both have lot’s in common.
Was Gillum going to implicate Obama? Is that why they nailed him?
Gillum drew attention to his activities – that’s how he ran afoul of the DC crowd.
Probably demanded a bailout from obama as well.
He didn’t “run afoul” like black congresscritters William Jefferson and Corrine Brown he’ll be resurrected and don’t count out Jesse Crackson Jr. either. The truth is the barackobonikz crowd ignore criminal acts, have short memories, and just consider it “gittinz minez” even when their candidates steal from their own constituents.
No doubt one of Nasty Nancy’s proteges.
Are you telling me the FBI is in some way responsible for indicting Obamas boy? I dont believe that. Why would Wray ever allow something like that to happen?
At least he didn’t get caught with Big Mike.
That would have been really embarassing.
That would have been Jim Dandy.
Don’t you mean “Jashawn Dindu”.
Obama’s best bud and they both have lot’s in common.
Oh ho. Someone didn’t follow the DNC rule book. 10% for the big guy. Bet he won’t make that mistake again.
His campaign tag line was ‘bring it home’. He did what he promised.
…. “bring it home he did” so much so his wife is now on a strick regimen of anti-virals including AZT.
Avenutty now has company.
2028 is a lock, this guy and the creepy porn lawyer.
Gillum must have crossed the wrong people to be thrown overboard like this. He obviously became an expendable liability.
Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum says he’s “deeply appreciative” of the large sums of money he’s received from far-left billionaires George Soros and Tom Steyer.
haha. Wonder if his mother is still a fan.
Look at the eyes in the pic with Hussein, Gillum’s snockered on something, that’s what Hussein is laughing about.
Gillum’s male prostitute looks a lot like barak obama….
They entrapped him in 2018, but waited 4 years to indict?
If he would won, this would have never come out…think about that.
I’ve known since the election that we dodged a bullet. This just describes the bullet more accurately.
Wasn’t the Florida’s Governors race between Andrew Gillum (D) and Ron DeSantis a close election? As I recall the press gushed that Mr. Gillum was a family man, and did not report he was under investigation for corruption as Mayor of Tallahassee.
It was close.
Scott Presler said it was black women who pushed DeSantis over the top.
They were pro School Choice, something Dems (and Gillum) hate.
Makes sense to me.
Next thing you know it’ll be Hunter Biden being nailed … riiiiight … like that’s ever gonna happen … Gillum must have really pissed off someone to being nailed like this … Democrats never get nailed … they even get away with people becoming suicide prone and then some …
Perhaps they are going to Epstein him…
I doubt this guy has much dirt on people the way Epstein did, Gillum seems to be an average drug addict thug, but then again, who knows. I am surprised they have pursued him.
Today, Andrew Gillum was indicted on 21 charges of corruption, bribery, conspiracy, wire-fraud and soliciting campaign contributions for personal use.
The perfect candidate for the Demonrats and deep state. He was totally compromised and the perfect target for blackmail had he been installed as governor.
And that’s how they make political puppets and give them power over the people. Could it be any slimier? The left’s naked aggression and contempt for the country, the Constitution and the people is indescribable.
Avenatti/Gillum 2024 — The CNN Prison Bitch unity ticket!
He should “come out” as transgender to give the DOI (Department Of Injustice) a reason to drop the charges.
Reparations for the poor, down and out, black transgender victim of the white cisheteropatriarchical oppressor!
Yes no doubt. He angered the wrong people. The FBI just doesnt do this good of a job against a commie
It took this long?
No.
They hold a few of these sleazebags for prosecution(s) if/when needed for political purposes.
It’s all about the politics.
It’s their religion.
The End justifies the MEANS..
And…this guy is IT for today’s political game.
He sounds like a minor version of Hunter Biden.
Are we sure this isn’t just more Russian disinformation? And racism too? And homophobia?
I am guessing that one possible reason it took this long to indict him is because Gillum may have sung like a bird to get lesser charges if you call 21 charges lesser. The Prosecutors got what they wanted/could from him and then charged him.
Lol
Great photo of two brothers who had a lot in common.
I remember when they called him the second Obama. LOL. They weren’t far from wrong. Thank God he didn’t become my Governor. Can you imagine the state we would be in now? I know I wouldn’t be living here.
Florida would be like N.J. under Governor James “I Am A Gay American” McGreevy who was married to a woman, she and his parents looked like they were going to puke at the press conference when he made his announcement. Later the public learned the “Gayv” had been cruising for males at rest areas on the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway as governor and before that when mayor the parking lot of Sandy Hook Gateway National Park beach area where nudity is permitted
Wow, compare and contrast. Gillum and DeSantis.
Florida, whew, dodged a cannon. They somehow couldn’t get enough fraudulent votes on the governors race to insert Obama, and Soros man.
Yep.
People always say “bullet”.
But you’re right, it was a cannon.
It was a nuke.
If Obama had a son.
If Obama had a boyfriend on the “down low”. 🤣
He damaged the Democrat brand. They do not forgive.
“Damaged” you say, how so, “Gay” is all the rage these days …. oh right I forgot they’ve been surpassed in victimhood status by the “transies”.
Why did the FBI go after Gillum? Doesn’t square with what we know about the FBI.
Plus he’s black, gay and a drug user. Other resume enhancers. Something is not adding up.
Why did the FBI go after Gillum?
Dems have other candidates they want to run for office and they can’t risk Gillum stepping into the ring and derailing better candidates
Gillum’s past his sell-by date, they have to knee-cap him
o
To have the justice virtue signal “card” they will tout before the 2022 election? As a sacrifice to show that they care (falsely!)about corruption? To point to and shore up Stacey Abrams because Andrew Gillum was denied his rightful place as governor and she deserves to be governor because he didn’t win?
Think about how screwed up and lemming-like people have to be to believe the Democrat Party propaganda.
You know that he’s kicking himself for not changing his registration to “R” and moving to another state.
He coulda had Trumps endorsement for a governorship.
??
That was a cheap shot.
You really shouldn’t underestimate PDJT.
You’ve been flagged!
What peeves me off more than anything is (from Sundance’s AP link);
Meanwhile, how many J6’ers are held in DC jails that didn’t even enter the Capitol building and/or weren’t even in DC on Jan 6?
He was just a Dem sleaze-bag; not an ULTRA-MAGA peaceful protestor.
See the difference?
All this means is that the Obama Syndicate wants this guy out of the way for another candidate, maybe Val Demmings.
Democrats only get prosecuted if they piss off Barry.
Gillum is lucky he didn’t end up in Ed Buck’s Snuff Dungeon… things could always be worse…
What did anyone expect? The guy basically got caught smoking crack off a gay hooker’s ass.
Like Hunter?
Where’s Hunter?
Affirmative Action for politicians sometimes falls short, but unfortunately often succeeds. VP Harris…..
Obama’s little brother.
Gillum another commie star burned out.
Thank you Lord for blessing us with Desantis!
Amen!
Gillum says ; ” Youse all are just picking on me cause i am Black>” Just like when I was set up with the gay meth head who overdosed in our hotel room.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8110423/Florida-Democrat-Andrew-Gillum-hotel-room-male-escort-overdosed.html –
“Gillium, you’re almost a bigger fraud than me.”
Oh, guess who one of his lawyers is …………. Marc Elias of Perkins Coie fame.
YUP! That’s what I heard. Smells like the standard DNC coverup to me.
What do you think they are trying to hide this time?

Brenda Snipes the Broward County Election Supervisor came within inches of making Gillum the Governor of Florida!
Didn’t DeDantis get rid of her once he was elected? That nasty sheriff that facilitated the school shooting too?
Yes.
And I said then that it was a foreboding of what was to come in 2020. Boy was I right!!!
Looking for an apology from Jimmy Buffet!
Strictly low hanging fruit … ( no pun intended )
Libtards are currently throwing this guy off the life boat.
“Lifeboat”? When pantyless Tallulah Bankhead crawled over him he looked away.
Boat, raft… I’m missing your point cuz I don’t know who Shaniqua Tankhead is?
But yeah, pantyless non males are off the radar for that scumbag.
Weird turn of events.
If he had won, DeSantis wouldn’t be in his prime position.
And Florida would be screwed, of course.
But DeSantis is ready to grab the colors and run, imo.
I hope PDJT endorses him, if it comes down to that,
Tallulah Bankhead, a grand dame of Pervywood, when filming Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller “Lifeboat” about survivors of a German submarine attack ole Tallulah was wearing a dress and climbing over all the other surviving passengers, particularly the males, she was purposely not wearing panties.

Who the hell Is Jason R. Coody and how the HELL did he get by Merrick Garland?
Now imagine the guy who endorsed and campaigned for Gillum becoming the DeFacto 3rd term President of the United States and that is where we are at today…Joebama 2.0
But unlike white conservatives who are falsely arrested, he got to turn himself in
No
Perp walk, no shackles
All BS
And real charges
