Good Thursday morning.
Press like — Gov. Ron DeSantis, more than three months ago, directed Secretary of State Laurel Lee to launch an investigation into a Facebook program that could have given incumbent politicians “an advantage over challengers” — a charge first outlined in a September article on the social media giant by The Wall Street Journal.
Update — So how’s that going? … well… um…
Status quo — It would appear there is nothing going on with this probe. Pressed repeatedly for answers, Mark Ard, a spokesman for Lee, said this week in an email that “this matter remains open and under review.” The governor’s office was asked about this as well and did not respond.
Flashback — If you'll recall DeSantis, wrote to Lee and told her that “your office should use all legal means to uncover any such violations, including but not limited to, issuing subpoenas, conducting witness interviews, reviewing all available information and consulting with law enforcement.”
Saw this coming — The fact that the department has not really progressed on the governor’s request isn’t all that surprising. First, it was never really clear what state election laws Facebook could have violated. But more importantly, the agency doesn’t have any investigators on staff and normally hands over probes to other agencies, such as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

— WHERE’S RON? — Nothing official announced for Gov. DeSantis.

4 months later, nothing? Let's get this expedited.
Fed, state and local governments are infested with leftist scum. They don't investigate and prosecute their own.
People get the idea because Desantis is a Republican that the government of the state is mostly Republican. It's not. Conservative people rarely seek government jobs. Every governmental dept at every level in the country is full of leftists.
