Very presidential statement. You heard it here first: Jeb! 2024 begins today.

'In this case, let the jury be the voters.' A former Florida Governor is joining the chorus of disapproval of the indictment against former President Donald Trump.
On Saturday, Jeb Bush bashed the indictment of Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“Bragg’s predecessor didn’t take up the case. The Justice Department didn’t take up the case. Bragg first said he would not take up the case. This is very political, not a matter of justice. In this case, let the jury be the voters,” Bush tweeted.
Bush did not mention the former President’s name, a rhetorical decision that tracks with current Gov. Ron DeSantis, who also has managed to reference the indictment on numerous occasions without saying “Trump,” even as he has plenty to say about George Soros funded prosecutors.
The backhanded defense of Trump’s legal position comes after the former President has spent months contending that DeSantis is effectively the Bush family’s favorite candidate for President, including in the last 24 hours.
On April 1, the former President screenshotted a post by Paul Sperry: “DEVELOPING: The Bushes are running against Trump through ‘proxy’ candidate DeSantis, according to GOP insiders in Texas and Florida. The entire ‘Bush machine’ is behind his campaign, even helping run it.”
“Fox News is promoting Ron DeSanctus so hard and so much that there’s not much time left for Real News. Reminds me of 2016 when they were pushing ‘JEB!’ The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has ‘TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,’ but they barely show it. Instead they go with losers like Karl Rove, Paul Ryan and now, even ‘Yesper,’ who have been wrong about everything,” Trump posted to Truth Social in late February.
Bush’s decision to take a position on the Trump indictment was unprompted by a reporter’s question, but it seems to illustrate the bind even retired Republican politicians find themselves in with the former President.
Florida Ping!......................
Go away, Jeb.
That is the classiest thing I’ve ever heard out of any member of the Bush cabal.
My jaw is on the floor.
STFU, Jeb. Your family helped ruin America. We don’t want to hear from you. Your opinion does not matter on anything.
This is a voting base play. Nothing more... The dude loaths Trump and has said NOTHING as he was being railroaded. Probably pushing it behind the scenes. No more Bushes, ever.
So, is he asking lieberals to; “Please, don’t clap?”
Jeb was in cahoots with Comey before Trump won.
Does anyone care what Jeb Bush thinks?
About anything??
Guacamole, anyone?
Very presidential statement. You heard it here first: Jeb! 2024 begins today.
In before “Please clap.”
Please clap.
Well, as he is more of a mainstream Republican , maybe some people care what he says.
I know we hate Jeb Bush and all Bushes on Free Republic, but the rest of the world does not share that opinion.
It could help influence some people’s opinions, to hear that someone such as Jeb Bush , who is opposed to Trump politically, is calling out this indictment as a miscarriage of justice.
Anyone with half a brain knows this is 100% political retribution and persecution and has no place in our judicial system. The DA is already a joke, if the judge doesn’t throw this out in a summary judgement then he’s as bad as a political hack. And any former or current elected official that doesn’t vociferously speak up against this is a worthless defender of the constitution they were elected to defend.
Thanks Jeb, now sit back down.
...if the judge doesn’t throw this out in a summary judgement then he IS a political hack................
Let the jury be the voters. B.S.
Jeb knows full well that Trump will face a carefully vetted and screened hand-picked jury of individuals who would each sell their soul to flip the switch if Trump were strapped to the electric chair.
Jeb isn’t fooling anybody here.
