Dailymail ask the quesion, why didn't desantis say anything about pardoning Trump, and wonders why desantis didn't say anything, if he is so outraged.

desantis supporters will claim, desantis had said he would....

But that's a lie, because when previously questioned about pardoning Trump, on the clay/sexton show,

desantis said he would consider "any example of disfavored treatment based on politics or weaponization would be included in that review, no matter how small or how big" regarding pardons.

But had refused to say Trump specifically.

Playing games and jerking people around...just desantis being the lying, deceitful, corrupt politician, he's showing himself to be.

And no, I wouldn't trust desantis to actually pardon Trump.

Also, desantis made the statement, only to try to look good .

How do you know desantis was just saying it, to make himself look good, and really wasn't concerned about lawfare being used against Trump?

If desantis was concerned about people doing the right thing, he would have apologized for, and disavowed the fake, ai generated images used in his campaign ad and fired the staff that made the ad, by now, right?

Citation needed. I see no reference in the article where Desantis is asked that question. Frankly it really doesn’t even matter. This action is galvanizing support for Trump.

Your comments are just meant to incite and really silly.

DeSantis is a former Federal prosecutor himself.

As far as I’m concerned, that now disqualifies him from ever holding public office.

I am now adamant in my refusal to ever vote for a lawyer again for any elected office that doesn’t require legal credentials.

DeSantis has already shot his wad with Trump voters, so any thoughts of him getting elected to the White House are nothing other than dreaming...so his position on pardoning Trump is meaningless.

I like De Santis as Governor of Florida - want to see him FINISH his term, but, if Trump is "somehow" removed from the election process, I'm sure he thinks it's to his benefit.

Only problem for them is......all of the write in votes for Trump from his supporters even if he isn't on the ticket.....viola, another dem in power because the RINOS and Trump hating repug-nicans will do anything to stop Trump

Who cares? Why would he? Im a Trump supporter but to expect his rival to really back him up? Cmon man. In the end RDS may learn the hard way that this can literally happen to anyone. All is fair in love and war and politics. Trump wont need a pardon anyway.... a 10th grade aficionado of law could argue their way out of these charges. Id also assume that the “prosecution” understands theres a precedent waiting to be set here...and they found a box of classified docs in Bidens garage. And this is the best case they have against him lol.

What unsubstantiated BS. Shall we say the same for Trump? You know, he only denied the affairs with pornstars TO LOOK GOOD? He only denied conspiracy with confidential records TO LOOK GOOD? He only denied repeated bad hiring choices TO LOOK GOO? He only denied [fill in the blank] TO LOOK GOOD?

I know you want to defend him but incessently criticizing DeSantis does nothing to support Trump. Why don't you support Trump, support Republicans, be more constructive and helpful, then this BS? I am defending Trump, I am criticizing the unfair focus on persecuting Republicans, but I still support DeSantis. Your daily and constant trash posts and comments are not only irritating but do not gain Trump a single vote. Maybe they make you feel better, but they hurt Trump, may you look pathetic, insecure.

And no, it is not fair to ask anyone to promise to pardon Trump when we don't even know the charges or evidence. Is it political persecution as appears or is there something more or different?

Political persecution or not, Trump has made a life of bad choices, maybe they are catching up to him. We can defend him, yes, but let's see what they got, okay? As far as I know, we still don't see any substance to to the New York charges, maybe this will be more of the same.

BTW, why not focus on getting Trump's friend McCarthy to immediately impeach Biden, Harris, Garland, Wray, and others? Wouldn't that be a better use of your time and energy?

If the GOP and so-called “conservatives” refuse to go to the mat to defend President Trump and our Republic against the criminal Biden administration and the Deep State, then may they all wear their chains lightly.

And that goes for DeSantis and his supporters.

Please don't debate Reno89519 in this thread

That poster has said in other threads, that will deliberately post in anti-desantis threads, to thread disrupt them and throw them off topic.

He has specifically said

So, if you stop posting negative threads about DeSantis, then everything can quiet

here

DeSantis knows his only chance is for Trump’s legal issues to take Trump out of the running.

So while he will use this opportunity to attack Biden and the current administration he doesn’t want to dismiss or minimize the attack on Trump.

As is always the case with DeSantis, he acts with only his own best interest in mind at every point. The Biden DoJ is attacking political rival? Good opportunity to attack Biden. Trump getting attacked by the Biden DoJ? Good opportunity to knock Trump out of the running. That is the DeSantis MO.

I dunno why you’d expect desantis to say he’d ‘pardon’ trump. It’s an indictment not a conviction. The whole thing could be dropped tomorrow and there’d be nothing left but the headlines. To offer a pardon would imply that desantis thinks there’s some weight to the charges.

I think desantis is right to call out the DOJ for interfering in the election. If they’re going to run against each other, desantis would rather win on the debate stage rather than have the power of the state take out his rival for the nomination. Offering a pardon at this point just seems to give undeserved weight to the democrats assertions.

DeSantis was silent when Trumps home was raided.
That was enough for me.
I have zero trust in him.

The Only Trumpers pretty much hate anyone what wouldn’t kneel down and confess their sins to Trump. He is their pope. Amazing.

DeSantis sticks up for Trump, defends Trump, and the Only Trumpers figure out a way to accuse him of blasphemy. And I thought the LEFT had bad religion. Wow.....

Why would anyone expect him to commit to a pardon when we don’t even know the charges?

Why would you pardon someone before there is a guilty verdict? A pardon doesn’t clear one’s name and could be see. as an admission of guilt. If I were Trump I would want a chance at discovery and a chance to clear my name in court. If/when there is a guilty verdict there will be plenty of time for pardons
