LOS ANGELES - California Governor Gavin Newsom met with Sheriff Javier Salazar of Bexar County, Texas, to "compare notes" on possible criminal charges against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Newsom made that revelation during an exclusive interview with Elex Michaelson for FOX 11 Los Angeles' political show "The Issue Is:"

"I met with him to compare notes yesterday because it is exactly the playbook that DeSantis and his staff to send migrants to California," Newsom said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sheriff Javier Salazar In September of last year, 49 migrants traveled from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard thanks to funding from DeSantis.

In June of this year, three dozen migrants flew to Sacramento-area airports with DeSantis’ support.

Newsom said that Salazar was "disgusted [with] what Ron DeSantis did, coming into his jurisdiction under false pretense and deceiving kids, not just kids, adults, and sending them on an airplane to Martha’s Vineyard."

Newsom continued: "I find it not only disgraceful, I think there’s grounds, not only to investigate but to potentially initiate some form of accountability. The Sheriff wants to see that from the D.A. in Texas and we’re pursuing that with the Department of Justice in this state."

In early June, Salazar’s office issued this statement as they filed charges.

"The charge filed is Unlawful Restraint and several accounts were filed, both misdemeanor and felony."

They did not name a specific suspect. It’s unclear if they are targeting DeSantis himself or someone in his office.

"At this time, the case is being reviewed by the DA's office," the statement read.

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is looking into potential "kidnapping" charges against the Florida Governor.

And there's more where that came from.

After Trump's first arrrest, DeSantis said weaponizing the law to charge Trump was a "manufactured circus" and wasn't a "real issue." None of that was true. They have been going after Trump since DAY 1. Now Gavin Newsom is threatening to throw DeSantis in jail on kidnapping charges. If conservatives don’t fight against the selective prosecution of Trump then arresting Republicans will become a normal part of politics.

Just like Trump said. The reality is if Trump falls, you're next.

Salazar has no standing.

Newsom can whine all he wants, but it won't do him any good.

[Berlin_Freeper]

President Trump will pardon Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis must be registering on the Democrats’ threat meter. I wonder what threatened charges will emerge on Nikki Haley or Tim Scott.

Chris Christie is a goner. They’ll get him for lowballing his weight at a Weight Watchers meeting, and it will turn into perjury and obstruction charges in no time flat.

[Sarah Barracuda]

told ya all, once they are done with Trump they will move on to DeSantis and after they are done with him, all we will have left is Christie and Cheney..which means an easy Biden win

[eyeamok]

There is no criminal activity here it is a Civil Matter, and Threatening Criminal prosecution in a CIVIL MATTER is the Legal Definition of FELONY EXTORTION everywhere in this country.

So it’s okay for illegal aliens to go to CA on their own but shipping them there to that sanctuary state is not? Maybe they should have walked to make it legal.

When you add two corrupt idiots together all you get is a bigger idiot.

I think DeSanchez already won this case they’re wasting their time

[frank ballenger]

Me in school in the 1950s: You children live in a free country with freedom of speech and free elections. Others around the world are not so fortunate.

Me today: People advise me to pretend the new isn’t happening so I won’t be so intensely angry, and refuse to keep up with events,and be like an ostrich and maybe it will all turn out okay.

Javier must be smoking some of the drugs he has confiscated.

[Lucky2]

Next on the Deep State hit list is De Santis. Communistic tactics at their best.

[Macho MAGA Man]

That picture was taken when Trump went to help Newsom with the wildfires out of control in California.

[FlipWilson]

And why can’t DeSantis and his AG start finding crimes that Newsom has committed in Florida? Cause they will.

And then where will that leave us. (Rhetorical, I know where that leaves us).

[Eagles6]

Yeah.

[TalBlack]

How about some form of accountability for people who encourage illegals to violate our border?
