4. It's a safe bet Desantis won't get the criminal investigation he deserves

He paid a company that doesn't even own or manage the planes necessary for the trip $1.6 million. Even if you wanted to charter flights that go from San Antonio to Martha's Vinyard with a stop in Florida for 50 people, there's no way it would even cost a fraction of that amount.

You can charter a 737 for about $17K per hour, and that's a lot more plane than you'd need for this mission. There's about 5 hours of flight time total. Even if you throw in a couple of hours for dead heading, that's still $119K and that's easily on the high side. Florida paid almost 10 times that amount.

I find it hard to believe that doesn't rise to felony level malfeasance even assuming there was no kick back money involved, and it's pretty fucking hard to imagine there was no kick back money involved.
