“Criminal charges is not just because you may have done something wrong. It’s did you behave criminally?” said DeSantis, who has consistently trailed Trump in second place in GOP primary polling. DeSantis, so far, has been Trump’s closest competitor among a crowded Republican field. “Meanwhile,” DeSantis added, “Hunter Biden, he would’ve been in jail if he were a Republican. One of my jobs as president will be to end the weaponization of these agencies, and I will get that job done.” When asked whether he believed Trump’s actions were wrong in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, DeSantis said, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. He should have come out more forcefully ... but to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely.” DeSantis said he had not seen the latest news about a possible indictment but said that he’s seen an attempt to “criminalize politics and criminalize differences.”
That's a political bull sh*t statement if there ever was one.
