    That is one weirdly worded tweet. He is not a former Republican. Wonder what the indictment is all about.

    Think he meant former Representative (not Republican), but I agree it's clumsily worded. Sure he was trying to break the news and went fast

    Republican politicians from Florida are always in the news for shady stuff. Par for the course

    Agreed but I follow Schorsch closely and trust his judgment. He got in another dustup of late because he ran first with the information that the former Tampa police chief, who resigned this morning due to the scandal, was on tape at the Pinellas County Sheriff asking for special treatment after she and her husband were pulled over driving a golf cart on a public street, plainly inebriated. Some criticized him for running with the information when he was aware Creative Loafing had some of the information first and was working on a fuller story. see his reaction below, which I agree with. As I said, I've grown to trust him over the years:

    Looks like it involves fraudulent and unregistered lobbying on behalf of the Maduro government in Venezuela
