Okay, so there's this guy we know only as Executive M. That's what the FBI calls him.

Here's what we know about Executive M. He worked for a real estate developer called Carmel

In fact, that night he texted lobbyists named Mori Goldman to explain the arrangement.

We said we'll get dirt on a staffer and Executive M will give we sad money.
