As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, five senior officials told NBC News that law enforcement agencies are conducting “preliminary security assessments” for the Manhattan Criminal Court in case Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) brings charges.
In response to this news, President Trump responded, saying that he will be “arrested” on Tuesday:
“Our nation is now third world and dying. The American dream is dead! The radical left anarchists have stolen our presidential election, and with it, the heart of our country. American patriots are being arrested and held in captivity like animals, while criminals and leftist thugs are allowed to roam the streets, killing and burning with no retribution. Millions are flooding through our open borders, many from prisons and mental institutions. Crime and inflation are destroying our very way of life. Now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has allowed new records to be set in violence crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, and based on an old and fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!”
In response to the news, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer, businessman and rival GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came out to call for the Manhattan DA to not indict the 45th president.
He explained that if the district attorney did go forward with an indictment of President Trump, it would be “the beginning of the end of the American experiment.”
With Vivek speaking out clearly about the issue, he called upon Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to announce a run for the presidency, to voice his opinion, particularly since President Trump currently resides in the state of Florida.
“[T]he ruling party is now looking to use police power to lock up its biggest political rival,” he wrote in response to a tweet sent by the governor yesterday. “The [GOP] donor class favorites have been deafeningly silent about it. Stand up or step aside. Stop being fake.”
I love St. Patrick’s Day too, but the ruling party is now looking to use police power to lock up its biggest political rival. The @GOP donor class favorites have been deafeningly silent about it. Stand up or step aside. Stop being fake. https://t.co/3QGVV6EkuR

Governor DeSantis is the second most popular potential GOP candidate for president and the most popular governor in America. Given that Trump also resides in his state, the Floridan should immediately issue a statement on a potential indictment.
The American people respect Governor DeSantis’ opinion and want to hear what he has to say on this important issue. As of this report, Governor DeSantis has not made a statement on the matter.

Unlike Vivek, Desantis has a full time job and in the middle of Florida’s legislative session
……..
Exactly, you peasants need to mind your own business. He’s too busy working while the Chinese controlled president and the dems destroy the constitution and America. Just get off his back and let an Trump be attacked because he’s the bad orange man…../s. FFS!
He SAYS he got it from legitimate multiple sources
Nobody other than him has said anything indicating that it’s happening
That makes it the VERY DEFINITION of a rumor.
In response to your post #7... Could be that we're about to reveal and uncover another G.W. Bush!
Deep state DeSantis has to wait for his script to be written by his handlers.
“...Desantis has a full time job and in the middle of Florida’s legislative session.”
Unlike McCarthy? And hasn’t DeSantis had the time to travel out of state to speak at various events, and hasn’t he had time for a book tour? I’m going to hold off on being overly critical of DeSantis on this issue until we see what happens on Tuesday, but he certainly could speak out now, as others have, if he wanted to. He’s certainly not too busy to make a brief statement on the matter.
The "leak" came from Trump. https://t.co/kLkP5uQojO— George Conway🌻 (@gtconway3d) March 19, 2023

WRONG

The “leak” was sourced by “five senior officials familiar with the preparations” and given to NBC News on Friday.https://t.co/AOT2KE2FbQ https://t.co/bcv2JGHtfi— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) March 19, 2023
NY needs to put Dog the Bounty Hunter on the case! /s

NBC News has obtained an email sent to employees at the Manhattan DA's office from District Attorney Bragg — saying, "we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York."
"Credible threats against the office will be fully investigated."— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) March 19, 2023
Insiders with the investigation are leaking to NBC News, the first outlet to report on Friday that charges could come this week and LEO agencies are preparing for unrest. https://t.co/qE6kyEhxu8— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) March 19, 2023
That does NOT say he’s being arrested tuesday. It says he MAY be INDICTED sometime next week. Vastly different.
DeSantis will allow and even urge anyone to act, if it means getting Trump out of the way. That means a democrat is welcome to take out Trump, or a neverTrump RINO, or Biden. It’s not advantageous for DeSantis to speak against anyone attempting to take out Trump.
Trump is the only one that can take DeSantis out of the race, so, DeSantis would rather take Trump out early, by any means possible.
Yet he had time to go out on a book tour.
Doesn't take much time to formulate an opinion on this and then state it.
The issue of tyranny goes beyond ones feelings about Donald Trump.
I have an uneasy feeling that the unrest that LEO are preparing for, is another government sponsored riot, and is the main purpose behind arresting Trump. It may be that we’re witnessing another attempt to discredit Trump - not with the charges themselves, but by “discrediting” his followers as dangerous subversives, through another staged event.
And yet we do need to protest. But we need to do so wisely. And we need to choose the locations wisely.
LOLOLOLOL!!
That is why I support Ron. He is NOT childish, and the former great President is.
DeSantis is the only one in the field that seems normal anymore.
The silence rule applies here.
SILENCE IMPLIES CONSENT.
This is stupid. If DeSantis were about to be arrested and indicted, do you think Trump would be standing up for him? More likely, he would be piling on.
Being quiet is probably his best course of action for now. Why make yourself the story when you’re not the story?
I doubt that. Trump has often defended his political rivals when they have been treated unfairly. Bernie Sanders is a good example. Trump has been highly critical of him but has also spoken out at how unfairly he was treated by the DNC during the 2016 primaries. And this was despite Sanders long history of criticizing Trump.
