Source: Politico

Matt Gaetz may be taking on a second job.

Prominent Florida megadonor John Morgan is actively in talks with the former Republican lawmaker about joining his firm, Morgan & Morgan, he told POLITICO in an extensive interview. The job would be in addition to the role Gaetz announced on Tuesday that he’s joining the conservative One America News Network as a prime-time host beginning in January.

Morgan praised Gaetz, who recently withdrew from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, for his positions on marijuana legalization, property insurance and processed foods.

Democrats haven't been a party of vindicative politics. trump is for sale and vindictive, its either pay to play or get attacked by the mob are the options. I think we're gonna see a lot of moves like this from the 1%.

How do all the other employees of this LAWfirm feel about this possible hire? I bet the lowest employee on their organization chart had to have a clean record to get hired at a LAWfirm.
