In response to a number of inquiries that have been widely condemned for being purely political, Republican presidential contender Ron DeSantis stated during an interview this week that if elected, he will reorganize the FBI and the Dept. of Justice.
DeSantis made the comments after Jake Tapper, the presenter of a CNN program, questioned him about the former president’s earlier claim that he had gotten a letter alerting him that he is the subject of an investigation into his attempts to overturn the presidential election in 2020.
“Should Donald Trump be held liable if Jack Smith has proof of criminal activity?” Tapper enquired.
“So, here is the issue.” DeSantis answered, “This nation is moving toward criminalizing political disagreements. I believe that is wrong. In an attempt to target Donald Trump, Alvin Bragg widened the Manhattan legislation. If it weren’t Trump, most people — even those on the Left — agree that the prosecution of a regular citizen would not have likely occurred.”
And so, he said, “you had the situation in which the Dept. of Justice and FBI are being weaponized against individuals they dislike with the most prominent example being against Donald Trump using the Russia collusion. That probe was not genuine; it was conducted in an effort to remove Trump from office. Therefore, as president, it is my responsibility to stop these agencies from becoming weapons of mass destruction by restoring a single standard of justice.”
“We are going to be welcoming an entirely new FBI director on day one; there will be big changes within the Dept. of Justice,” he continued. “Every American, regardless of political affiliation, needs to feel confident that current events are grounded in the rule of law.”
DeSantis stated that while he hopes Trump is not indicted, everyone must begin “to focus on going forward.”
Desantis is always kissing ass, at the expense of Trump. I hear run took a bunch of money from Soros. Bought and paid for!
that is not true, fact check that! Soros said he admired him, did not give him money.
DeSantis is not a Soros kind of guy. He prefers gullible women who are already on the road to socialism.
DeSantis is a good man, period.
Trump is not guilty of any of the charges that the Democrats has tried to bring against him ! I will always stand behind President Trump!
DeSantis is right on target whether you support him or any other candidate; weaponizing our federal agencies against political adversaries or other citizens…like parents going after school board members…is just wrong, simply because those in power do not agree with certain policies.
Wake up America, your liberties are under attack!
I have seen past elections having votes recounted for different reasons.
I question the violence and destruction by American Citizens in their right to protest peacefully in the actions of a few police officers. This protest was encouraged to spread by quite a few Democratic Leaders from Pelosi, Schumer and other’s kneeling in approval of these Violent acts. Waters went so far to encourage this type of violence to occur in any public area against Republicans who refused to defund our Police. These actions alone should be grounds for impeachment by encouraging treason against our first line of defense. To allow such fear in America by Encouraging it is Wrong. Yet when Americans react in response to the possibility of our Democracy being violated by not allowing a recount of our votes in a secure verifiable way to confirm justly that the Wishes of Americans citizens was in reality correct. The constant threats by Democrats to silence any American who protest for the Protection of America and its Democracy shows that their is something wrong within our Government!!
People, just because someone is indicted DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE GUILTY!!!!!
