Gaetz, Greene combine forces to rally Trump supporters
Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), two of the most conservative members of the House, are joining forces.

The pair filed paperwork with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) on Friday for a joint fundraising committee dubbed Put America First, a move that will allow them to combine their star power on the far right and take in larger checks from donors.

Gaetz and Greene are also set to kick off a so-called “America First Tour” next Friday with a rally at The Villages, a massive retirement community in Florida that is a crucial stop for any Republican hoping to make a name for themselves statewide.

In a recent press release, Gaetz’s campaign described his tour with Greene as an effort to “rally the 74 million Americans that voted for President Trump in the last election and highlight the destructive failings of the radical left and their puppet in the White House, Joe Biden.”

“There are millions of Americans who need to know they still have advocates in Washington, D.C., and the America First movement is consistently growing and fighting,” Gaetz said in a statement.

I get the feeling Greene is not that smart.

A look at how the Matt Gaetz probe grew from sex trafficking to medicinal marijuana
When Rep. Matt Gaetz vacationed in the Bahamas in 2018, he was joined by a doctor who donated to his campaign and a former colleague in the Florida Legislature.

The Republican congressman, Dr. Jason Pirozzolo and Halsey Beshears were united in their enjoyment of politics, fancy travel and the company of beautiful women. They also had another mutual interest: Florida’s $1.2 billion medical marijuana industry.

The Bahamas trip is a central element of a federal investigation surrounding Gaetz that has suddenly endangered his political career. What began as an inquiry into sex trafficking and whether Gaetz paid women and an underage girl in exchange for sex has grown into a larger review of public corruption, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Investigators are looking at whether Gaetz and his associates tried to secure government jobs for some of the women, the people said. They are also scrutinizing Gaetz’s connections to the medical marijuana sector, including whether Pirozzolo and others sought to influence legislation Gaetz sponsored. The investigation includes legislation from 2018, when Gaetz was in Congress, and earlier work in the Legislature, according to one of the people.

In February 2014, Gaetz co-sponsored the first state effort to allow marijuana for medical use. The day Gaetz’s measure was up for a final debate and vote in the Florida House, both Pirozzolo and Beshears were on the floor.

Beshears was a fellow Republican member of the Legislature who joined Gaetz to support the legislation. Pirozzolo, an Orlando hand doctor and pilot, was there serving as the physician of the day for the lawmakers

Once the legislation passed, it created lucrative new opportunities for Beshears’ family and Pirozzolo. The long-standing nursery owned by Beshears’ family was awarded one of five highly coveted licenses to cultivate and dispense medical marijuana.

The legislation was written to specify — and restrict — who could win such a license. An amendment added by another lawmaker in the state House limited the pool of applicants to nurseries that had been in continuous business for 30 years and had an inventory of 400,000 or more plants.

The Beshears family nursery, joining with two other growers, met that standard.

The Tampa Bay Times reported in 2014 that Beshears had failed to file a conflict of interest report when he voted on the bill, and the lawmaker who sponsored the amendment wanted to “err on the side of limiting who could qualify now” when embarking on such a new industry. More licenses have since been awarded, but the industry is still tightly controlled.

Another amendment added to the 2014 legislation the day Pirozzolo watched in the state House required dispensary applicants to employ a doctor as a medical director.

Eight days later, Pirozzolo started a consulting firm connecting marijuana businesses with medical directors, the Orlando Sentinel reported. He later co-founded a group called the American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association, which advocates for doctors who recommend medical cannabis.

Matt is still on the house judiciary committee, a second term congressman with no talent. After he is convicted he probably won't resign his seat in congress either.
