The verdict in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in Manhattan was the “culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a statement on Thursday following the Manhattan jury finding him guilty on all 34 counts.
“Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump,” DeSantis said in a statement.
“That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City,” he said, slamming leftist district attorney Alvin Bragg.
“This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction,” the governor continued, noting that this case would have never been brought if the defendant was someone other than Trump.
“It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict,” he said, adding, “In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.”
Trump delivered a brief statement following the verdict, making it clear that the real verdict will be on Election Day.

Nothing. We're not going to do a damn thing. We've got jobs and mortgages.
Has DeSantis deigned to call the J6 prosecutions the same thing yet?
You lead the way!
Is he as caring and kind for those charged withe fake crimes for J6?
Oh. Had no idea DeSantis wrote the charges. I also believe they are federal charges. I understand you are ignorant on a lot so I’ll explain that DeSantis cannot pardon federal charges. You must be dumb to think so.
More than you are doing which is nothing but running your mouth.
You are one dishonest person.
You know exactly what I meant.
When will DeSanctimonious’ policy position on the J6 protestors and the fake charges they have been charged with match his politically expedient position on President Trump’s?
LOL! If I put on a MAGA hat and started smashing windows in NYC, you all would call me an "undercover Antifa operative trying to make Trump supporters look bad" and then declare I must be a registered Democrat.
You wrote the damn post. Dummy. Dishonest for using your words? Spit!
“Nothing. We’re not going to do a damn thing. We’ve got jobs and mortgages.”
And everybody remembers what happened after J6. The DoJ took all the time it needed. They have unlimited resources. And in many cases, family, friends, and co-workers turned the protesters in. There’s no real way to hide when everybody is carrying an iPhone.
Well said, Gov’nor!
At this point, Trump is the only option. The Biden Family Crime Syndicate and its machinations must be rebuked in any way possible. Voting for Trump come Hell or high water is a necessary rebuke.
Develop the habit ... NOW ... of leaving your phone off and away from your person regularly.
Then as governor, why hasn’t DeSantis taken any steps to stop it?
Still dishonest.
But where you and DeSanctimonious are concerned that is part for the course!
It is NOT dishonest. Perhaps you should read your post and point out what is dishonest. You won’t be able to. You’ll find out you are WRONG!!!!!!!!
“Develop the habit ... NOW ... of leaving your phone off and away from your person regularly.”
Unless nobody anywhere is carrying a phone, it’s not going to matter.
As I wrote earlier in the thread, can’t you guys and gals get over DeSantis long enough to be appreciative of his and his supporters support now? Are you still so scared of him, more concerned about him than supporting Trump? The rest of us have moved on, why can’t you? Sad, feel sorry for you.
Still dishonest.
But where you and DeSanctimonious are concerned that is par for the course!
