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.

“A lot of the things that my politics are, Matt Gaetz’s are,” said Morgan, who has given heavily to Democratic candidates but is registered in Florida as a no-party affiliated voter.

8. Yes.

There is that. I feel really sorry for the folks in this country who are off to jail for so much Less. Really old!

4. They are primarily a personal injury firm. Has Gaetz ever even tried a case?

5. Something smells funny here.

This guy is a Democratic megadoner? Either he's not or Gaetz is kissing up to money.

6. Values of the 1% are as deep as a kiddie pool

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%.

10. They had RFK Jr. in some of their ads a couple of years ago.

11. Job offers are plentiful for those accused of sexual assault and other assorted crimes.

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.
