Yesterday the Tampa Times ran a retrospective titled "The long, odd history of Pasco County politicians behaving badly: Pasco officials have a pattern of engaging in bizarre and illegal shenanigans." Pasco made notables several times recently, there was armed conflict when the police came for the mayor of Port Richey (his successor has also been arrested now), and also a Sheriff's deputy was reported to have committed suicide.

This info may be helpful for a deeper dig into the area.

 

The St Petersburg Times (now Tampa Times) won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series of articles claiming to uncover corruption in the Pasco County Sheriff's Department. Much of this reporting related to the relationship between Sheriff John Short and Deputy John Moorman, a millionaire who had some financial transactions with the Sheriff, and donated money covering the expenses related to his service to the department (paying for a police car, required training, etc.)

Summary from a Pasco historian: "On Aug. 24, 1984, John Short, who had been sheriff since 1976, was indicted on three corruption charges and was removed from office by the Governor, who appointed J. M. 'Buddy' Phillips to replace him. In a series of articles, the St. Petersburg Times had reported that John Moorman, a millionaire who contributed thousands of dollars to Short and enriched the sheriff through business deals, was allowed to outfit himself as a volunteer deputy and help pay for an undercover investigation aimed at several prominent East Pasco men who had earned the animosity of Short and Moorman. In 1985 Short was acquitted of the charges. TV news reports on the acquittal are here and here."

Despite all the noise of the St Petersburg Times award-winning investigation, no one was found guilty of any crime, and it's suspicious that a Pulitzer would be won for a story that falls apart in a jury trial. We know the MSM is under cabal influence, with top honors given to cabal operatives (reward & reputation boost.) Although some Pulitzer Prizes are won for top-quality reporting, it's likely that some are awarded for other reasons. Since Short was found not guilty at a jury trial, this doesn't look like a Pulitzer awarded for stellar journalism. Backing that up, small media reported that the Times published outright lies, with side-by-side evidence.

 

Take this as a tip from an Anon, Short/Moorman were white hats fighting evil in Pasco County. I don't know what they were up against, but I suspect they were exposing deep state activity, and the media/prosecution attack was black hat action to drive Short out of office and prevent disclosure. Although Moorman was a millionaire, don't trust media reports painting him in a bad light, any more than you would take seriously contemporary media reports about Trump's motivations. (And don't dismiss Short because he was a Democrat, we know that what's going on transcends party lines.) Something unusual was going on. The Short/Moorman partnership was unusual, the MSM response was unusual, and because of the Pulitzer it seems possible that whoever Short and Moorman were fighting was protected by heavy hitters in the cabal. My read on events is that Moorman was an independently wealthy man trying to stop bad things that were happening in his community, and when he developed a partnership with the local Sheriff both men were viciously attacked by the MSM. What were Short and Moorman doing? Is it possible they had discovered cabal activity? I've heard rumors that Short was going after child trafficking, among other things. Who were the "several prominent East Pasco men" that were the subject of the undercover Sheriff's Department investigation, and why were they targeted? What was happening in Pasco County in the 1980s and through to the present day? Is there anything important to discover by researching other prominent politicians who have come from that county, such as John Renke and Mike Fasano (both served in leadership of the Florida House)? Does any of this shed light on current events, is there ongoing cabal activity in this part of Florida?
