Little has been made of the current FBIs probing into possible financial corruption in the Mayors Tallahassee administration.
Reports of under-the-table deal-making in vacation venues where Andrew and Cory have hooked-up for fun and relaxation raised eyebrows, but interest faded rapidly.
Cory also has faded deep into the background as Andrew makes a run at the Florida Governors mansion and echoes of the FBI Tallahassee corruption investigation bounce around in the background.
The close friendship between Gillum and Cory goes way back. The sudden distance between the two old wheeler-dealers has not helped in quashing suspicion that some kind of political/financial hanky-panky has been siphoning money from the Floridian treasury into strange channels.
For example, the Feds seem very interested in the Edison restaurant Cory developed with taxpayer money, and Cascades Holdings, the LLC formed by Corey and his investment partners to finance the project.
With Gillum now trying to move into Floridas Governors office, the people of the Sunshine State should expect some very cloudy weather.
Hope the Florida voters are thinking carefully about this character and his grifter buddy.
Omar Smith, a Gillum insider, seen on PROJECT VERITAS tape, stated the Gillum campaign has
to appeal to white guilt. Smith indicated on tape that Gillum is a bald-faced liar.
"If Gillum is elected None of the programs Gillum is promising would happen.
<><> Raise the corporate tax in Florida from 7 to 11 percent. That will never happen.
<><> Raise teachers pay to $50,000, that will never happen.
<><> Medicare for all will never happen."
=======================================
But a high paid govt job for insider Omar WILL happen.....except reports are Gillum "said" he fired this creep.
Mayor Andrew Gillum and the Mystery of 311 East Jennings Street-
a morass of addresses, interconnections, swaps and deals raising questions about Mayor Gillums alliances.
(And how many Gillum voters are registered at that address AND at other addresses?)
Gillum was elected to the city commission in 2003 and became mayor in 2014; insists he has been told he is not the target of the FBI inquiry.
<><>local businessman J.T. Burnette, a major Gillum backer who in 2014 received $883,000 in city subsidies for developing a downtown hotel. He declined to comment for this story. Burnette, in fact, has become a major political player supporting candidates of both parties by taking advantage of whats known as the LLC loophole. Florida is one of several states that allows limited liability corporations even if they have the same ownership to contribute as separate individuals, permitting donors to give the maximum amount of $1,000 from each of their subsidiaries.
<><> 52 LLCs list the Jennings Street address, many of which have donated to state and local campaigns. Those businesses include Sunnyland Solar, connected to a city-subsidized liberal-loving clean energy project now under FBI scrutiny. Mayor Gillum voted in 2011 to give Sunnyland Solar up to $5.4 million in subsidies.
<><>The Jennings Street address also houses KaiserKane, a national security contractor with millions of dollars in federal contracts, including multimillion-dollar deals with the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice.
<><>KaiserKane, named in the FBI subpoena, actually bought the Jennings Street property in 2013 for $1.15 million, records show. The building was sold in 2016 to 311 Jennings LLC, a company that lists Burnettes home as its corporate address. The Jennings building was sold again in March 2017 to the PACE Center for Girls, a Jacksonville-based nonprofit. KaiserKane still uses the address for its Tallahassee office on its website contact page. Cynthia Montgomery, a lawyer representing PACE, said her client is the lone occupant of the 12,000-square-foot building. KaiserKane President Melissa Oglesby did not return a call.
<><> Mayor Gillums actions have prompted other questions. Until last month, his campaign was operating out of 1550 Melvin, owned by longtime confidante Sharon Lettman-Hicks. Its the same building he has worked out of in his side gigs, first as director of youth leadership for the advocacy group People for the American Way, then for Lettman-Hicks P & P Communications, where Gillum was vice president. Just what he did for P & P, though, is not known. The company has no website, no dedicated phone line and has not formally disclosed its clients.
<><> The building was bought with funding from the Northwest Florida Black Business Investment Corporation, a tax-exempt group that provides investment funding. Two of the investment corporation directors are part of a group that in July received $281,000 in Tallahassee community development money for exclusive rights to a development project in the city.

This guy Gillum is REALLY bad news: According to a report by Aaron Klein of Brietbart.
Gillum once directed a radical youth training organization whose mission was:
<><> to challenge U.S. predatory capitalism,
<><> abolish the prison system,
<><> fight a spiritual resistance
<><> battle against Christian hegemony,
<><> redefine the meaning of borders while aiding undocumented aliens,
<><> enact the collective liberation of communities of color amid the scourge of white supremacy.
Gillums group accused the US of
<><> being a colonialist power
<><> perpetrating structural violence and continued genocide
<><> blamed conservatives in the U.S. judicial system as justifying white supremacist policing practices.
GIILAM IS GAY???
Whose to say?
They do seem to enjoy a very warm, thigh-to-thigh relationship.
Remember when Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas? Remember how he and his buddies were importing cocaine into Mina, Arkansas? Remember how the Clinton gang were so overwhelmed with drug money that they needed to find a way of laundering the money so they formed a “government funded” business that would help get new businesses started in Arkansas but in reality they were just hiding the drug money for themselves. {:0

Nice, quiet little one-story office building.
Hard to believe that it's teeming with 52 LLCs and 15 hustling business offices pursuing the American Dream.
The 311 building looks more like a mini-storage unit.
Yeah, saw this from LS a little earlier...not sure what to think, but I’m in Tally and will be surprised to see this happen tomorrow.
