Gillum is a public servant, elected to office by the city of Tallahassee, and should be protected from specious, frivolous claims. Neither should he ever be the victim of slander.
But! It was an undercover FBI agent who was paid off posing as a developer. Gillum used the power of the purse to line his own pockets. But if the charges by the FBI Agent are false, then Gillum can easily prove it. Why did he not do so? He has numerous office staff who could vouch for his whereabouts on the day of the Hamilton show, and staff that could prove actual payment. Why did he not do so.
Why can't zeek know the difference? Because zeek is shipwrecked. He has not held onto faith or a good conscience. (I Tim 1.19) Perhaps Gillum is his idol. "Little children, guard yourselves from idols." (I John 5.20)

There is no doubt that the evidence against Gillum based on this witness is much stronger than the evidence against Kavanaugh. No DA would investigate based on Ford's allegations, it would be a joke, likewise the FBI wasn't going to initiate an investigation unless ordered to do so. The fact that the FBI is investigating indicates they have a stronger basis than anything Ford presented. That said, until Gillum is convicted he also deserves the presumption of innocence. On the other hand if Trump's accusations that he is a thief sways some voters, well that is fair.
