Bexar County's prosecution-minded sheriff is but a pawn in a much bigger leftist game to drive Gov. Ron DeSantis from higher office.
Just yesterday, Texas sheriff Javier Salazar announced that he is investigating the legality of Gov. Ron DeSantis's flying of illegal migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
Salazar is a Democrat, but, like all Democrats, he insists that his probe has nothing to do with his political affiliation.
Salazar said the following:
Somebody saw fit to come from another state, hunt them down, prey upon them, and then take advantage of their desperate situation just for the sake of political theater, just for the sake of making a statement.
I believe people need to be held accountable for it to the extent possible.
The DeSantis gubernatorial office last week paid an aviation company $615,000 to transport migrants from San Antonio, Texas to Florida and onward to Martha's Vineyard.
Texas governor Greg Abbott was the first to bus migrants from his state to sanctuary cities such as Chicago; New York City; and Washington, D.C. Abbott received acclaim for his move, which was essentially to hold liberal open borders–advocating cities accountable for their stances.
The move was an astute protest against the Biden administration's refusal to protect U.S. borders.
Arizona governor Doug Ducey, and DeSantis, who is running for re-election, joined in.
The New York Times reported that the illegally present Venezuelans have said they made the journey to the United States because they believed that the country's doors are wide open. During his campaign and the primary debates, Biden repeatedly invited to migrants to the U.S., with offers of benefits, such as free health care.

I thought it was just them getting started
This is what they do. They present him as not too bad. Live-withable, beatable then they’ll move in “we used to think he was okay until we learned…about him. Now even we, the mostly bipartisan, reasonable, cannot abide.
Same as they did with Romney and McCain former not so bass. Then when running, the worst. They find that weak point and exploit it to no end. Then these guys cave. Then lose. Trump didn’t cave so they’re still after him
It is the “Democrat treatment” (not Trump treatment) and it is for any non-Democrat.
The enemy is starting to fear him.
Might as well get him used to it.
The “Liberal World Order” is full steam ahead over the cliff.
The FAR LEFT SCUM hate it when they get crap rubbed in their punchable faces. They can dish it out but the little wimpy whining girlymen both male and female can’t take it.
Governor DeSantis is a major problem for the Dems. While they focus on doing all they can to prevent Trump from being able to run. If they were somehow able to keep Trump from running, DeSantis would be able to step in.
DeSantis is good but I guess we gotta drop him on account of “too much drama”.
Expect this for any perceived to be effective conservative power holder.
Ugh. No.
Not even close. If they did he’d be in the fetal position like every other Republican in our lifetime.
Not even close.
That is not a condemnation of DeSantis. I like him, but he ain’t no Trump.
The left has directed its slime machine at DeSantis because he threatens their stranglehold on power.
The local commie station was proclaiming “DeSantis under investigation “
This is the new “Russia investigation “
oh he’s getting the Trumpbehandlung alright...
I remember! they said if Reagan was elected he would declare WW3!
A sheriff investigates crime. He does not investigate if an action is legal, that is what the district attorney does. If the action is possibly illegal the district attorney will tell him if so. A sheriff enforces the law. If he must investigate if it is unlawful, he is now playing district attorney.
Duh.
Who didn’t see this coming from a mile away?
If for some reason DeSantis and not Trump is the '24 nominee, expect to see Trump rehabilitated in the media. We'll be treated to NYT editorials proclaiming, "Maybe Donald Trump wasn't so bad after all."
Hell, they might even let him build a library.
Huh? Are you drunk? 😁
Hey, I hear DeSantis colluded with Russia! The FBI has a dossier! :)
Of course he is
What do folks expect
They own media
Info dissemination
Chunk of judiciary
Powerful
But they don’t have the legal votes
