ABC: TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A federal judge in Florida has refused to throw out criminal charges against Andrew Gillum, disagreeing with the former Democratic gubernatorial nominee’s assertions that he was the victim of selective prosecution because he was a Black candidate for governor.
Gillum and a colleague were indicted earlier this year on federal charges including conspiracy, wire fraud and making false statements to FBI agents. Prosecutors said Gillum funneled donations through third parties back to himself for personal use.
According to prosecutors, Gillum met with undercover FBI agents posing as developers while he was mayor of Tallahassee 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.
Gillum has pleaded not guilty and denied the charges, saying they were politically motivated.
Saying the defendants’ arguments were “meritless,” U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor last week dismissed four motions from the defendants challenging the continuation of the prosecution. more
Apparently Gillum did something to piss off the deep state… Probably ‘forgot’ about FJB’s 10%.
Good! this faggot needs to spend time in jail!
Oh yea.. poor little deprived black man probably wants reparations all because he din do nuffin
Had me til “… making false statements to FBI agents.”
The FBI has absolutely NO problem lying to Congress, to the American people, to FISA judges, to Twitter, to the Media, and to anyone else who’ll listen to their lies.
When it’s a crime for the FBI to lie – THEN – AND ONLY THEN – should it be a crime to lie to them. Fuck the FBI – they are liars, connivers, provocateurs, conspirators, traitorous dogs, and treasonous assholes.
I cannot understand why any fucking “judge” in the United States of America would allow their testimony about ANY-FUKKIN-THING – they are proven – admitted – liars.
(this is not a defense of the corrupt perverted asshole Gillam)

izlamo delenda est …
Just 32,463 votes between him and DeSantis. I am thankful every day.
Democrats, especially Black Democrats rarely get indicted, no matter what they did.
I lost track of the drugs and dead homo prostitute, did he beat that rap already?
Zonga,
He beat that instantly. He was told he was free to go right there on the spot.
