Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said Hunter Biden "would have been in jail years ago" if he were a Republican as the federal investigation into the president's son is now in its fifth year.

The Florida governor, who recently announced his entrance into the 2024 presidential contest, made the comments during a campaign stop in Iowa when speaking about "weaponized" bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.

"We have a bureaucracy that our Founding Fathers would find unrecognizable," DeSantis said on Wednesday. "It is an unaccountable, weaponized, administrative state that unevenly wields authority depending on its targets.

"Two different sets of rules depending on whether you're a member in good standing of elite society or not," he continued. "If Hunter were a Republican, he would have been in jail years ago."

The federal investigation into Hunter Biden's "tax affairs" began in 2018 amid the discovery of suspicious activity reports regarding funds from "China and other foreign nations."

I guess you don't pay attention, but DeSantis has been railing on this and the Soros DAs going after Trump for a year.

Consider yourself informed now.

Would a RINO speak out about this on the campaign trail?

We can all see that. What would DeSantis do about it if he became president? What are the concrete actions he has in mind?

I assume the media will protest that he’s advocating politicized law enforcement - the thing he’s protesting. He’s actually doing something that Trump does so well, i.e., saying something to get attention.

Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Gen. Flynn were all raked over the coals in perjury traps during days of many hours of long questioning under oath.
“You said you spoke to Trump on Tuesday. Our recording was date stamped Thursday.” “I got confused. It was Thursday. For goodness sake it was two years ago.”
“Guilty of perjury again.”

Good for Governor DeSantis! I’m now hoping he’ll be the nominee even more!

[lasereye]

Anytime DeSantis says something that Only Trumpers can’t disagree with, they spin it as a negative anyway. We won’t hear Haley or Pence or whatshisname from AK say that.

Hunter: Which color of card do you want to see? I carry a dozen. Some are worth a lot on eBay.

DeSantis has already come out to abolish the IRS and institute a flat tax. He said he would fire Wray on Day 1 (something Trump did not commit to doing when asked)

Desanis is not a republican?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was puzzled by this terribly written headline.

For starters, DeSantis has said unequivocally he will fire the Trump-appointed FBI director Chris Wray on Day 1.

Meanwhile, here’s what Trump said when questioned about Wray by Hannity a couple weeks ago:

Me too!

[SPDSHDW]

As we saw with Trump. Talk is cheap.

especially from GOP who only act conservative to get elected.

I am not accusing RDS of this, I am stating a fact about other Piles of shit in congress, or gov. spots.

For starters, DeSantis has said unequivocally he will fire the Trump-appointed FBI director Chris Wray on Day 1.

That's a start. What about the FBI itself? It's obviously a corrupt, highly politicized organization whose leaders and former leaders show a clear intent to meddle in domestic politics and persecute (there's no other word) conservatives. Does DeSantis intend to reform the FBI (and if so, how)? Or abolish it altogether?

I'm looking forward to more details from DeSantis about what he wants to do as president.

So why didn’t Trump prosecute him before being defeated?

DeSantis has already come out to abolish the IRS and institute a flat tax.

A flat tax still requires the IRS. In a few years we will be right back where we started. Only a Fair Tax has any chance to get rid of the IRS. Nothing more than showboating.

When DeSantis was in congress, he supported every conservative flat or fair tax bill that came up. He even sponsored some of them.

Ron doesn’t have to be a RINO to be a lying, bought, tool. he is what he is in full facts, not just the good parts.
