(WTXL Tallahassee) A federal grand jury has returned a twenty-one count indictment against Andrew Demetric Gillum, 42, and Sharon Janet Lettman-Hicks, 53, both of Tallahassee, Florida. The indictment was announced by Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

The Indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, defendants Gillum and Lettman-Hicks 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. The Indictment further alleges the defendants used third parties to divert a portion of those funds to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who then fraudulently provided the funds, disguised as payroll payments, to Gillum for his personal use. Both defendants are charged with 19 counts of wire fraud. Gillum is also charged with making false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation....

A better candidate could've not only retaken the statehouse but also could've likely pushed Bill Nelson over the finish line in his Senate race (among other things). Instead, we got Trump 2.0 on Ron DeSantis, whose likely - if Trump doesn't run again - the 2024 Republican nominee for President, all so that fellow liberals and progressives could have their "dream" candidate.

But I'm not going to BMW about it; we Democrats made our bed with Gillum; we're just gonna' have take it.
