Hundreds of Corey's emails have been posted online, at Gillum's direction, fodder for Republican groups that will spend millions looking to stop Gillum's campaign.</div><div class="teads-inread" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;"><div class="teads-player" id="teads0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">Gillum's ties to Corey, whom he met while he was in college, have long raised questions. The Tallahassee Democrat reported in 2015 that Gillum's 2013 decision as a city commissioner to vote to fund a multimillion-dollar project tied to Corey through the city's community redevelopment agency raised questions because of their friendship, even though city lawyers deemed Gillum did not have a conflict of interest.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">The vote made way for Corey and other partners to <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/money/2015/10/16/edison-its-investors-and-political-roots/74017352/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 97, 243); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s;" target="_blank">convert a turn-of-the-century electric plant</a> into an upmarket restaurant named Edison.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">Those questions grew when <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/fbi/2018/06/01/andrew-gillums-costa-rica-trip-irks-ethics-watchdogs/575149002/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 97, 243); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s;" target="_blank">the paper reported</a> on Gillum and Corey vacationing together in Costa Rica, where they agreed to meet with Mike Miller, a name used by one of three FBI agents posing as developers, once they were back in Florida. Gillum's chief of staff told the paper that the trip was not business related and that he was on vacation with friends. Questions have also been raised about a 2016 trip to New York, where Corey and Miller were also present. A <a href="http://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Gillum-speaks-out-on-photo-showing-alleged-FBI-agent--440830893.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 97, 243); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s;" target="_blank">local television station</a> published a photo in August of 2017 that showed Corey, Gillum and an FBI agent sitting in the back of a boat in New York harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the background.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">According to public documents, the undercover agents posing as developers got close to city officials and lobbyists in an attempt to snuff out public corruption. FBI agents subpoenaed thousands of records in June 2017 and Gillum's office then <a href="http://www.talgov.com/transparency/public-records.aspx" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 97, 243); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s;" target="_blank">posted those records online</a>. Reporting from the Tallahassee Democrat found that a cadre of city officials and power brokers have been named in the subpoenas, but Gillum's campaign has denied any connection to the probe and pledged to work with the FBI.</div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLGajrCHcrPE7oOrueFi8jUvEt5zBR_7SdRvQM9yFe_P81n6kZXdDu-CoyovzmR4GPH5nB_OuFs1oPP7h0TjqZjRcArX__OeBqUVFMAiNpra4aPdpYKgQ904sZhIh7hB3vM84RfUwug0/s1600/%255BUNSET%255" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="" data-original-width="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLGajrCHcrPE7oOrueFi8jUvEt5zBR_7SdRvQM9yFe_P81n6kZXdDu-CoyovzmR4GPH5nB_OuFs1oPP7h0TjqZjRcArX__OeBqUVFMAiNpra4aPdpYKgQ904sZhIh7hB3vM84RfUwug0/" /></a><br></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;"><div class="el__embedded el__embedded--standard" style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; width: 300px; z-index: 0; font-size: 15px;"><div class="el__storyelement--standard el__article--embed" style="box-sizing: border-box; float: left; clear: both; cursor: default; margin-bottom: 10px; width: 300px;"><div class="media__caption el__storyelement__title" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 0.8rem; line-height: 1.5; padding: 14px 10px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(89, 89, 89); position: relative; border-width: 0px 1px 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(230, 230, 230); border-bottom-color: rgb(230, 230, 230); border-left-color: rgb(230, 230, 230); border-image: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-top-color: initial;"><span class="el__storyelement__header" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; display: block; font-family: "CNN Condensed", CNN, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.06667rem; line-height: 1.25; font-feature-settings: 'kern' 1; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; color: rgb(26, 26, 26);"><b>Related articles: </b><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/28/politics/andrew-gillum-ron-desantis-florida-governor-race/index.html" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(26, 26, 26); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s; font-feature-settings: 'kern' 1; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Bernie-backed progressive Andrew Gillum will face a Trump-styled Republican Ron DeSantis in Florida's governor's race</a></span></div></div></div><div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px;">Even so, Republicans will seek to use the investigation to bludgeon Gillum's campaign.

Nickole Atkinson believes she was one of the last people to see Shanann Watts alive.<br />
Atkinson told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/friend-colorado-woman-allegedly-killed-husband-shocked-arrest/story?id=57277333" target="_blank">ABC News</a> that around 2:00 a.m. on August 13, she dropped Shanann off at home after they flew back into town from a work trip.<br />
Atkinson
 said she watched Shanann walk into her home and close the door. The 
friends were supposed to meet up later that day, so when Atkinson hadn't
 heard from Shanann, she called her husband, Chris Watts, to see what 
was going on.<br />

</div>
During
 the call, Chris revealed that he and Shanann were separating. Atkinson 
told ABC News that she was not concerned with their marital problems at 
the time.<br />
She reported Shanann missing around 1:40 p.m.<br />
Eventually,
 Chris reportedly admitted to killing Shanann and their two daughters, 
four-year-old Bella and three-year-old Celeste. The girls' bodies were 
found in an oil tank, Shanann's was nearby in a shallow grave. A motive 
has not yet been revealed.<br />
Many of Chris and Shanann's family and friends found it hard to believe that something like this could happen.<br />
However, as one mom pointed out on Facebook, women in abusive relationships make sure you never see the ugly side of it.<br />
Julie VanderLaan was previously involved in an abusive relationship. As she explained on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1379633769/posts/10216816447788398/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, the story of Shanann Watts hit close to home for her.<br />
She wrote:<br />
<blockquote>
The
 news in Colorado... is heavy on my heart. A Man killed his pregnant 
Wife and two toddler daughters. What hurts... is that everything I've 
read... no one “knew”. Her social media boasts pictures of a happy 
family - their friends and family “had no idea” there were problems. He 
is a “great guy... a great Husband and Father” - how could he have done 
this!?</blockquote>
VanderLaan answered the question of “how could he have done this?”:<br />
<blockquote>
It's because he did it when no one was looking.</blockquote>
She explained that she posted on Facebook because she lived through the abuse, she survived:<br />
<blockquote>
I’m
 not posting this for attention, I have LIVED this. When I left, 
everybody was so surprised. They asked why I wouldn’t stay any longer, 
you can’t just give up on a marriage.<br />
Why did I leave? Because my daughters and my safety is worth it.</blockquote>
VanderLaan used her experience to speak to others:<br />
<blockquote>
This
 is going to sting... not just a little. But a lot. The man you love... 
Does he call you a b*tch? A c*nt? A wh*re? That's not love.<br />
Did he hock a loogie and spit in your face on Mother’s Day? That’s not love.<br />
Has
 he called you a fatass after you just gave BIRTH to his child and told 
you “good luck leaving, nobody would ever want you... look at you” 
THAT'S NOT LOVE.<br />
Has he shoved you so hard that you flew back, 
landed on the coffee table then reached for your cell phone and he took 
it along with all the house phones and hid them so you couldn’t call the
 cops on him while he sat there crying apologizing for what he had just 
done? HE'S NOT SORRY AND THAT'S NOT LOVE.<br />
Has he punched holes in 
your wall? In your bedroom door? In your bathroom door because all you 
were trying to do is take a bath but he wasn’t done arguing yet? That's 
not love.<br />
Has he purposely slammed your hand in the door so hard 
that you ended up having to go get X-rays to see if it was fractured and
 you were almost too embarrassed to tell the ER doctors what really 
happened? That’s not love.<br />
Has he locked you outside in the middle
 of a Michigan winter when all you were wearing is a T-shirt and laughed
 in your face before he shut the door and locked it? That’s not love.<br />
Have
 you went to bed at night, locked your bedroom door and still refused to
 sleep with your back facing the door incase somehow he broke in and you
 wouldn’t have enough time to react? That's not love.<br />
Does he do 
this behind closed doors... when no one else is around? Does everyone he
 knows... friends and family... love him because they have no idea who 
he truly is when no one is looking?<br />
He doesn't love you.<br />
If 
you have ever cried yourself to sleep. If you've ever prayed for God to 
change his heart. If you've ever prayed for strength to leave.<br />
Leave. Now.<br />
Leave
 before you are the one on the news. Leave before your family is 
questioning what/how/why it happened. Because “they didn't know.”<br />
He is strong... but you are stronger.<br />
Do I believe people are capable of change? Yes... I pray they do.<br />
There are GOOD men out there. Men who won't even raise their voice, let alone their hand. Find him. You'll then know love.</blockquote>
In the case of Shanann Watts, Atkinson said that looking back, there were some telling signs:<br />
<blockquote>
“He
 wasn't being the loving Chris that he normally was. He wasn't touching 
or hugging or doing stuff like that. He wasn't being as attentive to the
 girls as he normally is."</blockquote>
But she said: 
“Anyone in their right mind will start piecing things together and think
 something had happened, but you don’t want to go there. You want to 
believe the best in people.”<br />
Chris remains in custody and has been accused of first-degree murder and tampering with a body.</div>
