State Representative Randy Fine is under criminal investigation for his threats against school board member @JenkinsBrevard. Turn the volume on. 🧵
But there's sooo much more. He was recently named as Vice Chair for Redistricting in Florida. Steve Crisafulli and Make Haridopolis, lobbyists from Brevard, were responsible #gerrymandering the state 10 years ago so that 50% votes = 60-65% of the seats for the GOP. They are pals.
In 2019, Randy Fine's associate, fmr Deputy City Manager for Palm Bay Florida, David Isnardi, whose wife was County Commissioner Kristine Isnardi, was charged with conspiracy, extortion, and racketeering in a public corruption case that involved blackmailing city council members.
David Isnardi wiggled out of that prosecution with a pretty sweet plea deal that left him with his seat on the Melbourne Tillman Water District board, and then Randy Fine convinced Ron DeSantis to veto a bill that every legislator BUT Fine voted for.

Also in 2019, Randy Fine tried to have a political consultant criminally charged for making a satire page that made fun of him.
Here's his friend, Janice Crisp being arrested outside of a school board meeting for trying to disrupt it. When she ran for City Council in Palm Bay he gave her campaign quite a bit of money. Thankfully, she did not win that race.
During a pandemic and with an ongoing environmental disaster happening in the state, which includes #PineyPoint, Ron DeSantis called for a special legislative session this year to do one thing: expand casino and online gambling.

Randy Fine, a former casino executive who has been sued for fraud and had his gaming license revoked in New Mexico, was named to Chair the brand new legislative committee on gambling and casinos.

floridatoday.com/story/news/202…
His attacks on Home Rule in Florida have bordered on obsessive. He has written and passed numerous harmful pre-emptions which makes it so local governments can't decide what's best for their communities.

tcpalm.com/story/opinion/…
He even voted for a pre-emption which let farmers dump biosolids(literal human 💩 from sewage treatment facilities) on fields which drain directly into Melbourne's drinking water.

floridatoday.com/story/opinion/…
His attacks on Palestinians are racist and prolific, using the hash tag #BlowThemUp, and he even went as far as saying it was ok with him if the Israeli Military bombed U.S. Journalists.

thespacecoastrocket.com/representative…
No one should be surprised that he is best buds with racist old Joe Gruters, the Chair of the Republican Party of Florida. The connections between corrupt and insane things happening in Sarasota and Brevard are numerous, and we will get to that...
Randy Fine once called a Jewish community leader a "Judenrat".

Spoiler alert: he lost.

Here's another one where his company was committing literal fraud.

prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
And most recently he is saying there's a "special place in hell" for whoever was responsible for some more made up sh*t. Apparently there was some "GoFundMe" that raised $20-30k. I wonder if there will be fraud charges for that...
Randy Fine has been a champion for #ALEC, recently appearing on their YouTube show to promote “school choice". The effort to ban mask mandates in schools, which is going to literally kill people, is part of the effort to dismantle public education.

Randy Fine reports that he worth $20+ million dollars on his campaign finance reports, but where did he get that money. Donald Trump was a failed casino owner, but Randy Fine never owned a casino...🤔
Randy worked double overtime to fly relief supplies to the Bahamas. He made no such effort for Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, nor did he during or after hurricanes Irma or Michael when they devastated parts of Florida...but why?

Here's an EXCELLENT thread detailing the threats and harassment being faced by a school board member in Sarasota. It's like the exact same thing that's happening here in Brevard...and surprise! Bridget Ziegler and Tina Descovitch are like besties:

2018 Fine had a PAC called "Foundation for Our Children's Future" with about $500k of his own money. He used it to attack opponents with dishonest fliers and ads, and in addition to gambling/illicit proceeds, it was funded by US Sugar, FPL, liquor stores, and private prisons.
So why hasn't our sheriff investigated him and brought him to justice? Here's some clues:

It may also have something to do with this...

government.brevardtimes.com/2013/04/intern…
So, this looks like a job for the @FBI, and @TheJusticeDept where is our Congressperson? Turns out he's a crackpot insurrectionist, even though he represents the Kennedy Space Center...seriously.

Randy Fines most recent posts on his FB page continue to target Mrs. Jenkins and her family. We are waiting to see some f-ing #Justice. Anytime would be great...
I'll leave you with this. If this isn't a flagrant and criminal abuse of office, I don't know what else would be.
In 2018, Randy Fine voted to privatize almost 60% of Florida's beaches under the infamous H.B 631, while himself owning a beachfront mansion.
Randy Fine is facing a legal ethics complaint for sending out a robotext that pretended to be from Brevard Public Schools:

Randy Fine lives outside of the district he represents...which is definitely illegal.

thespacecoastrocket.com/randy-fines-wi…
In 2018 an escalating dispute between House Rep. Randy Fine and Indialantic condo owner resulted in a request by the condo owner for an investigation of Fine for “inappropriate behavior” before the Florida Commission on Ethics.

veronews.com/2017/08/03/fin…
Randy Fine threatened to "shut down" UCF for 5-10 years, and as good as this opinion piece is by @orlandosentinel I disagree that he is an "amateur hour" politician. I personally think he is the state level point man for organized crime.

orlandosentinel.com/opinion/os-op-…
Randy Fine spent nearly 400k in his 2020 primary race against Marcie Adkins earning ~10k votes...

Probably a record in Florida primary races. $40 a vote.

1/ Congressman Bill Posey is getting a free pass from @January6thCmte, @TheJusticeDept, and the public in general, but he shouldn't be. His lies about the election, and his attempts to overturn the results are documented at length here.

Enjoy ☕

#OperationAvalanche
2/ Bill Posey is the U.S. Representative for all of Brevard County, FL. We are known for being home to the Kennedy Space Center and for having the most capitol rioters. But there's so much more...

thespacecoastrocket.com/brevard-county…
3/ Before Bill Posey was a Congressman, he was a State Senator in Florida, and after the 2000 election debacle here, he was one of the key architects of Florida's election reform laws which opened the state to electronic machine voting.

@TheJusticeDept @FBI @January6thCmte
2/ Wayne Ivey is most well known for his unabashed and unhinged support of Trump, and his 'Wheel of Fugitive' show which featured non-fugitives.

floridatoday.com/story/news/202…
3/ Wayne Ivey has also made headlines for hiding his budget, protecting cops who kill, vilifying political opponents, advancing racist causes, facilitating political corruption, and last but not least, telling everyone to "arm themselves".

Thread 🧵 1/

The FBI is going to be investigating the violence and threats being directed at school board members over mask mandates. It's coming from many of the same places as the #January6thInsurrection, and there's a money trail.

2/ But let's start at the top. Back in 2020 Erik Prince's sister, Betsy DeVos made it clear:

"When asked this past week if she was using the crisis to push private school vouchers, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos replied, "Absolutely."

3/ Right before that, in May 2020, Governor DeSantis had folded like a cheap shirt when the Florida Chamber of Commerce suggested ignoring the CDC guidelines in favor of prematurely reopening the state. (Scroll to bottom of article)
