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.”

The swamp didn’t get worse, the swamp was simply exposed. And NOW they are out front and in the open for all to see.

Oh those polls you touted in 2022 saying we’d win 40 house seats and 8 senate seats. Yes you are gullible.

LOL- ok! So what rank does Omarosa hold, or is that Top Secret? Are we dealing with General Manigault? Admiral Scaramooch?

Just a bunch of losers and hangers on - you need new material to prop up DeSantos. He's lucky Casey didn't defenstrate his new "campaign manager" like Longshanks in Braveheart.

They wouldn’t “make” Trump lose. He would likely lose because his unfavorables are unusually high. The country is worse off after his presidency due to his failures, self-absorption, and complete lack of leadership. More Americans are pro-choice now than seven years ago. The culture has gone to pot. The bad economy started with Trump’s spending and with his encouraging states to lock down. He is uninformed, inarticulate, amoral, and is willing to sign any bill that lands on his desk.
No one should vote for the supposedly “most electable” just for that reason. It’s funny you would presume that. There are simply better candidates than Trump and they would thus have a better chance of winning.

Irrespective of Trump’s wishes, I doubt that either Sessions or Barr would have signed off on any prosecution of Hillary Clinton. Senate Majority Leader McConnell would not have permitted Trump to choose someone like Giuliani. It is amazing that Trump accomplished what he did with all of the Democrats openly and a majority of Republicans secretly arrayed against him.

The Deep State wants Trump to win the primary. The result would be him losing the general and he would be gone, possibly even in prison. Desantis can fight the Deep State more effectively and has a better chance of winning the general where he can clean house better than Trump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hilarious...and completely delusional. Desantis is falling so far behind in the primary, yet you think he can sweep in and win the general. Logical...said no one ever.

He is the best governor in America, by far.

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Try to buy insurance in Florida, it has more then doubled under desanctomonious. And look at his positions on election integrity and political persecution, desanctomonious is in full agreement with the biden admin on these issues.

If you are trying to get through to the incredible ignorant and naive Desantis block here, you are wasting your time.

Evidently, they watched way too many Harry Potter movies and they think Trump had a magic wand.

The simple truth you laid out in your post is lost on them.

You're dead nuts right. I read Grathwold's book and I have a good friend who was friends with him. That filthbag Ayers laid out the liquidation plan to Grathwold and he was nonchalant about it.

These people want us stripped of our wealth, robbed of our property and then dead. That is a fact. Good Americans need to wake up fast and get organized to stop these bastards right now because these demonic, murderous scumbags are not playing around.

It's time to get real or tens of millions of decent Americans will end up as slaves, or dead.

How? With compromised Sessions or Barr? It’s apparent now that it was Trump on one side and the uni-party on the other. And you have to go through the uni-party commies to utilize the levers of power. Recall the military boasting afterwards about not doing what he directed in Syria, as one example?

So you are considered an anti-trumper if you point out glaring Donald Trump flaws?

Given that there has been nothing tangible done to correct the voter fraud in the six states that flipped to Biden in the middle of the early morning hours after election day 2020, the electoral college situation has not changed. The only state that might flip to the GOP in 2024 is Virginia. The Democrats may try to flip North Carolina their way. The other states are pretty well locked for one side or the other.

Trump will be jailed, disqualified, and possibly meet his Maker by "executive action". If someone other than Trump is the nominee for the GOP, and that candidate is permitted to win, with Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and maybe Wisconsin going Republican along with Virginia, it is because our rulers have decided to go to war against Russia and China. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, or Gretchen Whitmer will not be able to rally the country to war, especially the young white men who have historically fought America's wars. A DeSantis or a Youngkin might be able to replicate the younger Bush's ability to engage the country to war against Xi and Putin.

Too hard on Trump. Trump’s hands were tied by a bad Senate that protected uncooperative AG’s like Sessions and Barr.

Good distinction. People are acting as if we knew in 2016 what we now know about the chilling pervasiveness of the DC uniparty’s corruption: it’s not an isolated flaw, it’s a hidden design feature. And Americans of both the D and R persuasion are saps for letting it go on unabated.

So, RDS is responsible for insurance rates?
Also, where has Donald spoken out against the prosecution of the J6 political prisoners? Either or both men will get my vote next November.

I don’t think the swamp got worse. I think Trump exposed the swamp and they showed their true colors.

Does that talking point come from the DNC website? Biden website? Biden email?
