DeSantis: I Fired Soros Prosecutors, Trump Let Hillary off the Hook, Kept Wray, and ‘The Swamp Got Worse’
Breitbart ^ | August 15, 2023 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 08/16/2023 5:50:19 AM PDT by Reno89519

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” ... DeSantis stated that the question in the wake of the indictments of ... Trump is how we’ll respond and end weaponized government. ... The swamp got worse in his four years.”

...

“... what we need to do is get a president ... that could actually end the weaponization of federal power through the DOJ [and] the FBI. So, for example, with me as president, on day one, Christopher Wray gets sent packing. You’re going to see the DOJ cleared out. We are going to ensure a single standard of justice in this country again. And I can say that with credibility because I’ve done that in the State of Florida. We’ve drained the swamp in here. We’ve gotten rid of negligent election supervisors in South Florida. We’ve removed two different progressive prosecutors funded by Soros who were not enforcing the law. So, I’ve shown an ability to take action and get the job done. And, as the president, I am going to do the same thing.”

...

"[Trump] had three years to fire Christopher Wray and he didn’t fire him. And remember, I went to the rallies in 2016, Laura. You remember them, lock her up, lock her up, about holding Hillary accountable. And then, two weeks after the election, he said never mind that I said that and let her off the hook. And so, I think if you look at — and I give him credit even though we’re competing for the great things he did do — but one of the things he did not do was drain the swamp. The swamp got worse in his four years.”

"Don’t like it when someone nails Trumpet with the truth do you"

Your version of the truth meshes nicely with the leftist.

Also, many have a short memory as to actual events.

google is available for research.

POS Ron DeSanctus should have gotten out and backed Trump. He would then have had carte blanche in 2028.

After Trump gets clobbered next year, the same voices will be arguing that he's the only man who can drain the swamp in 2028 and everyone else needs to wait their turn.

Trump has been the leader of the Republican Party on a national level since his election in 2016. Are the Democrats today more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2016?

DeSantis has been the leader of the Republican Party in Florida since 2018. Are the Democrats in Florida today more powerful or less powerful than they were in 2018?

Trump donations to Hillary Clinton:

2009 Trump gave $4,000 to Hillary Clinton
2008 Trump gave $1,700 to Hillary Clinton
2007 Trump gave $4,600 to Hillary Clinton
2006 Trump gave $2,300 to Hillary Clinton
2005:Trump gave$2,900 to Hillary Clinton

Trump has also donated to Kamala Harris

In 2013 Trump gave $1,000 to Kamala Harris
In 2011 Trump gave $5,000 to Kamala Harris

In contrast, DeSantis never gave any money to Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris

“ Trump could have made Hillarys life a living hell for 4 years and drained her bank account on legal fees against all manner of charges. ”

I think it was magnanimous on his part, as has long been the tradition in this country. You can demonize your opponent during the election, and then let bygones be bygones. Democrats have flushed that tradition. If our side regains power the precedent has been set. Wishful thinking perhaps.

Good points!

The questions I ask myself are these:
(1) Can any republican beat the democrat presidential candidate in 2024 since democrat election fraud remains in place?
(2) Is there a 2024 republican presidential candidate with a better change of winning than Trump?

"when asked about it once elected he stated “yeah that sounds good on the campaign trail but we’re not going to do that”

Link? Verification?

“Good to see DeSantis addressing differences with Trump.”

Addressing differences with Trump???

He only needs to open his mouth and the differences are loud and clear.

How many resets has he had? How many resets has Trump had to do?

The Republicans would not allow Trump to fire Wray, after he had fired Sessions.

And firing a low level state employee is not really something to crow about.

“Trump did indeed let Hillary off the hook as he recently said they were friends again.”

He was being sarcastic. You must have solid bone between your ears.

Wait are those really assets of the DS or a list of traitors?

I'm having trouble seeing Omarosa and Mike Cohen wired deep into Central Command and strategically deploying forces to resist the President.

It’s Wednesday and the anti-trumpers are out in force.

Your posts are getting tiresome. Why do you post them?

Waste of time to watch or listen or read about Desantis.

The GOP should rally around Trump and fight the evil that is trying to take over this country.

Does anyone on this forum seriously think that if Trump is neutered and DeSantis is anointed the Rep nominee the entire mechanism of the Deep State, along with the vile, leftist/globalist media it controls won't go scorched earth on him? Do you seriously think that if it looks like DeSantis has even a ghost of a chance of winning these filthbags won't use their weaponized "justice" system against him as they have against Trump?

We aren't dealing with simple political opponents here.

Not to worry, I’m sure desanctomonious will change his position on this as soon as he is told to by the deep state.

This is who we are dealing with.

And those masks are about to completely come off.

If you have to ask if Wray, Barr, Fauci, Brix, Pence, and Bolton etc are assets of the DS or traitors, you have missed the plot. By the way, they are both assets of the DS and traitors.

Where is the quote? Assuming you have one, people change their minds. Big deal. RDS SHOULD be running. He is the best governor in America, by far.

Not to mention he gave Fauci and Birx Presidential Commendations for their terrific work during covid.

Was that when desanctomonious was singing their praises?
