So we all know Matt has been a big advocate of medical marijuana even thought it's not a big GOP popular thing. There's a good reason for that. He's making a ton of money on it. There's a new article out here but it's subscription only.

So basically it breaks down like this - Jason is a hand doctor (whatever the hell that really is) that started a new consulting firm to help get medical marijuana more popular in Florida. What he was really doing is getting people to make illegal campaign donations to Matt Gaetz. He would tell them to donate 10,000 dollars which is illegal. The maximum you can give is somthing like 5,800. But he knew ways to launder it in and make it work. It turns out it is all a sort of bribery scam where companies have to donate the 10 grand to get a sit down with Matt to get their companies considered for Florida use.
Now of course Matt is saying he doens't know the guy really and that he never authorized him to ask for campaign money for him. Typical Donald Trump move. So now we can add campaign finance laws to the long list of crimes Matt Gaetz is being investigated for. This asshole is going to go down hard.
