DeSantis: Two-Tiered Justice System ‘Got Worse’ on Trump’s Watch
Breitbart ^ | July 31, 2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 08/01/2023 10:52:32 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

During an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Monday’s broadcast of “Special Report,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that there are two standards of justice, and “Donald Trump was President for four years. This problem got worse under him. He did not succeed in draining the swamp.” DeSantis also predicted that Trump would have a “very difficult time getting the type of personnel to join the administration that you would need” to take down the administrative state.

DeSantis said, “Well, this is why we say there [are] two standards of justice. If Hunter were a Republican, he’d be in jail by now. You look at all of this smoke, and yet, the FBI, where [are] the search warrants? Where is the grand jury? Where’s the aggressiveness that they’ve shown going after some Republicans? You just don’t see it.”

He added that the treatment of former President Trump is another example of the two tiers of justice and stated that with the Mar-a-Lago raid, they “went through everything they could to get any piece of information. They are not doing that with Hunter. Of course, they didn’t do it with Hillary back in 2016. So, we look at that. But look at all of the possible corruption. Hunter, he’s selling paintings for over a million dollars. My six-year-old daughter does better paintings than him, maybe we’ll put ours up and see what kind of things she can fetch. I don’t think we’re going to get a million dollars on it. We will go in there and we will make all of this stuff better very, very quickly.”

DeSantis continued, “And, look, Donald Trump was President for four years. This problem got worse under him. He did not succeed in draining the swamp. My worst critics and

So, he's blaming Trump because McConnell and the GOP establishment blocked his picks for AG and FBI and CIA director all while he has the support of the establishment and its donors?

DeSantis is the most dishonest Republican to have run for President I can remember.

I wonder who he thinks his audience is, that this kind of stuff will make a difference. Sometimes I wonder if he even thinks at all.

” If Hunter were a Republican, he’d be in jail by now.”

True enough.

“You look at all of this smoke, and yet, the FBI, where [are] the search warrants? Where is the grand jury? Where’s the aggressiveness that they’ve shown going after some Republicans? You just don’t see it.”

Who has been their boss for the past couple of years? How is that Trump’s fault?

Florida Governor brought him to his Peter Principle.

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.

Doesn’t buy him anything.

Still Trump needs his feet held to the fire. I’ve said before that DeSantis is the real deal. Successful big state governor like Reagan. Just needs more seasoning and failure can be a good learning experience. Remember Reagan lost once and so did BJ. and Nixon.

Such a disappointing run from the Guv. He distances himself from Reality every time he loads that slingshot and takes aim at President Trump. The sling rebounds and bops him square between the eyes.

DeSantis! the Not-Trump candidate, backed by all the wrong people.

All Trump needs to do is fill his Administration up and the heads of all the bureaucracies with a lottery system of people who attend his rallies. You simply can’t trust any politician anymore.

Trump created this by being the target of all these witch hunts. Go away Ron.

Trump did screw that up. He could have been more foreful for his picks. And then just kept an appointing interim heads. Each one more radical than the last until Trump’s pick is approved.

We need to be honest about this and tell Trump he screwed up on his picks and give him ways to WIN not just make excuses.

Nonsense. The RINOs in the Senate blocked anyone Trump wanted to pick to clean up the corruption.

Cleaning up the corruption won’t be an issue if DeSantis somehow gets elected. Deep State is perfectly okay with him since he will pander to the party establishment.
