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

This tool. He has been silent about 2020 being stolen. People like him are the ones that threw roadblocks at everything Trump tried.
Go away Ron.
—> will make a difference. Sometimes I wonder if he even thinks at all.
Not a smart candidate.
Dumb and dumber.
Desperate flailing continues.
I believe they would do that but cannot remember any specific examples
The thing about DeSantis is he wants to pretend that he can manage a system one trusts anymore. The truth is our Government has been captured by people who want to kill us.
Refresh my memory. Who were Trump's picks for these positions that McConnell and the GOP blocked?
-> My strategy will work, but Trump didn’t do it. Why?
Perhaps he didn’t recognize your wisdom?
Perhaps he doesn’t know you exist?
Odds are 50/50 that RDS is forced out before the Iowa caucuses. New Hampshire? South Carolina? Where does he get a boost?
Deep state approved Desantis political career is over. He will never be elected to anything at this point.
His interim AG after Sessions was rock solid.
We need to be honest with ourselves and accept that no amount of forceful could make Mitch confirm anyone he didn’t approve of. Trump had no leverage because for 4 years the Senate did not recess specifically so Trump could not make a recess appointment. Trump finally tried to get people into spots with interim heads or by having the subordinate people take on responsibilities, Then they sued him.
The Senate worked against him all the way
Exactly like Ted Cruz blaming Trump in 2016 when violent thugs caused Trump to cancel his Chicago rally for safety reasons.
Exact same slime ball energy — the DeSantis and Cruz campaigns being run by the same campaign manager, slime ball Jeff Roe.
“Who has been their boss for the past couple of years? How is that Trump’s fault?”
Well, you see, if Trump had just appointed Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, he wouldn’t have been available to run the DOJ, so it’s Trump’s fault.

DeSantis: Two-Tiered Justice System ‘Got Worse’ on Trump’s Watch
Desantis never said on Trump’s watch, just that it got worse under trump. watch denotes that trump had something to do with the weaponization of the DOJ... other than being its target, no, he didn’t.
i am not for desantis, but the MSM uses these semantic tactics to separate republicans... some fall for it.
Of course it got worse under President Trump. That’s when the DOJ/FBI went into high gear in going after Trump and his associates. That’s also when government agencies started tightening the circle of the wagons around the Biden family. Since they had been protecting both them and the Clintons and Obamas for years, they just had to bring more people on board and “fortify” the protection teams.
They two standards of justice just became more noticeable after Trump was elected. Especially when they impeached Trump for inquiring into the Biden family corruption. DeSantis is going to lose more and more support if he continues down that path.
DeSantis is separating Republicans.
Lololo oh my goodness! Meatball! It got worse under Trump because Trump was the target, you goof!
not many... according to the polls
The Mask of ambition has been pulled away from DeSantis. His real face appears ugly and reminds me of Mittens and Pence. He is the Media darling as long as he speaks agin Trump (who must be stopped at all coast). Once he is no longer useful to the ruling class, he will be dumped, disgraced and erased.
