DeSantis probe into possible Trump assassination attempt raises concern

It was a fleeting moment, but one that captured Mr. Trump’s reluctance to part ways with the final explosive act of his presidency, even in a general election in which it offers little political upside.

For years, Mr. Trump has helped craft an alternate history of that day, one in which the violent attack was a “love fest,” the jailed rioters were “hostages” and their prosecution was a part of a larger story of persecution — of both Mr. Trump and his supporters — that has been at the core of his argument for a return to the presidency.

But as he courts voters beyond his loyal base ahead of the November election, he and his campaign have engaged in an awkward push and pull over how closely to associate with the riot’s legacy. A recording of jailed Jan. 6 defendants singing the national anthem no longer plays at his rallies. When some defendants, including a man whom federal prosecutors have described as a “white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer,” gathered at Mr. Trump’s Bedminster golf club for a fund-raiser, the former president, who has attended similaWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he is skeptical the federal government will appropriately handle the investigation into the apparent assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump, so he has assigned state officers to “take the lead” and do their own work on the case.

He also has directed the statewide prosecutor — who usually takes cases involving drugs, cyber fraud, human trafficking and other organized crimes that cross multiple counties — to bring charges against the man suspected of pointing a gun through a fence at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club on Sunday.

The idea of an investigation into their assassination attempts on Trump that they can't control terrifies them.

Washington Post, you write bullshit.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Yeah let the people using our money to frame him investigate this. I can’t see any problem at all with that....

No matter how much you think you hate WaPo, you don’t hate them nearly enough.

[Kriggerel]

Is WaPo still owned by The Moonies?

[Jamestown1630]

You’re thinking of the Washington Times.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bezos bought it years ago.

[Newtoidaho]

Of course it “prompts concerns”.

The media scum are concerned it will hinder their cover up efforts.

[Carl Vehse]

The Washington Post demonstrates its Enemedia diarrhea.

Jeff Bezos:

In August 2013, Jeff Bezos purchased The Washington Post and other local publications, websites, and real estate for US $250 million, transferring ownership to Nash Holdings LLC, Bezos’s private investment company.

I don’t even buy it to line the birdcages anymore; my birds are too discriminating.

And I never see it unless an article is posted here.

But the actual assassination attempt? Apparently not so much.

[StAnDeliver]

Why are MSM and particularly WaPo, crAP, and NYeT cat-lady marxistettes so dog-faced goddamned fugly. It's almost as if it is ordained they reflect their ugly thoughts on the outside.

Woof. Eye bleach won't cut it. People like her should have to walk around with a paper bag over their head.

[NavyShoe]

Not news, just opinion, and it’s ridiculous.

[jmaroneps37]

Hey Lori does Jeff know you post this pile of crap?

[The_Media_never_lie]

It raises concerns that the truth might get out

[BenLurkin]

Mr. Trump has helped craft an alternate history of that day

[1Old Pro]

I’ll never think like her.

[Steve_Seattle]

Trump never called the violence a “love fest.” Another smelly liar in the MSM.

How can anyone read articles these days.

It’s supposed to be about the Florida investigation into the Trump assassination attempt, but it goes on for paragraph after paragraph about January 6.
