Andrew Gillum, the Democratic candidate for Florida governor, accepted expensive tickets to the Broadway musical "Hamilton" from an undercover FBI agent in the summer of 2016, according to documents made public Tuesday as part of an investigation by the state's ethics commission.

The records include text messages between Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, and former lobbyist Adam Corey. An attorney for Corey turned over the documents to the ethics panel in response to a subpoena. The commission has been investigating a complaint brought against Gillum related to trips he took to Costa Rica and New York City. Gillum has asserted that he paid for all expenses related to both trips.

On Aug. 10, 2016, Corey texted Gillum: "Mike Miller and the crew have tickets for us for Hamilton tonight at 8 p.m." Gillum responded: "Awesome news about Hamilton."

In fact, "Mike Miller" was an undercover FBI agent posing as a developer as part of an ongoing investigation into Tallahassee's government.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Corey text contradicts a statement put out by Gillum's, which said that Corey had given Gillum's brother Marcus the "Hamilton" ticket in exchange for a ticket to an unidentified concert.

The Gillum campaign did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment, Corey's only comment is that the FBI isn't telling the truth.

So Trump conspired with Putin to overthrow an election and White Nationalists are totally cool with it...but let a black man get free tickets to a Broadway show and they go searching for a tall tree and a good piece of rope...

Elkin, you've got to sober up.

Mueller hired 17 partisan Democrats as lawyers, spent 2 years, and found no Russia collusion except by Dems.

Nellie Ohr speaks Russian, worked for Fusion GPS, and fed the Russia baloney to Bruce et alia.

The former counsel to the FBI worked with a lawyer for the DNC to cobble together this Russia crap instead of doing his law enforcement job.
