DeSantis says Florida won’t help extradite Trump to NYC after indictment
New York Post ^ | March 30, 2023 | Katherine Donlevy

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that the Manhattan indictment of Donald Trump was “un-American” and that his state would not help hand the former president over to New York officials.

The conservative Republican, who is expected to challenge Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, said District Attorney Alvin Bragg was weaponizing his office by bringing charges after impaneling a grand jury to look into hush money payments to pornstar Stormy Daniels

“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,” DeSantis said on Twitter.

I am not entirely convinced they will go through with it. Bragg backed himself in a corner.

I could care less. I didn’t really like having Jeb as president for four years.

His popularity has only been skyrocketing since the indictment came down.

but the fact that Trump wants the spectacle of being cuffed complicates things. I started predicting years ago that Trump would die in prison.

Trump enjoys Secret Service protection. The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the President, even from himself.

I do not believe the Secret Service will permit Trump to be handcuffed, even if he wants to be. They won't permit him to be jailed. They might not permit even his mugshot to be taken.

They wield wide authority and they do not answer to Alvin Bragg.

He'll follow the law. He's just not going to go up to Trump and say...Okay...let's go.

This is NOT a choice thing.

Of course he isn't. Because Trump isn't being extradited, and the governor wouldn't even do that to someone who is extradited. Trump's lawyer said he is flying to NY next week.

If Trump had a brilliant lawyer and wanted it to, this could be over in the blink of an eye. I just worry Trump is enjoying this too much, and will try to play it out for a long time.

The indictment of President Trump by this Soros-backed prosecutor is the most disgusting weaponization of the justice system in our nation’s history. ...... Democrats just guaranteed President Trump the White House in 2024.”
