Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump's leading rival for the 2024 GOP nomination, said the decision to charge the former president demonstrated political bias in the Biden Justice Department and it's "weaponization" of its police powers.
Trump was indicted Thursday on federal charges involving conspiracy, obstruction, and taking classified documents.
"The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated Thursday. "We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation. Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?"
DeSantis said his administration "will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all."
Other GOP candidates made supportive statements, but not all.

Of course each can do it himself, but it seems there would be more impact if they announced as a group.
Have a great weekend!!!!!
Hoozah! Hoozah! Hoozah!
Very well said, flaglady47.
These people are emotional infants who curl up in a ball at the very idea that they might have to fight for the principles and values this country was founded on.
Ramaswamy already did and it beat the heck out of what DeSantis said.

Watch the video below the text statement. He says what’s in the text and more.
“Maybe you don’t get what has become obvious to most. ANYONE not supporting Trump at this point is part of the enemy.”
BINGO.
“Ramaswamy already did and it beat the heck out of what DeSantis said.”
Thanks. I’ll watch the video when I get to the PC bigger screen. Another rather obscure GOP candidate also made a statement on Newsmax. I think his name is Jerry somebody.
DeSantis is as dumb as a stump if he thinks they won’t persecute and prosecute him in the future. His half-assed, watered-down statement won’t protect him.
“Rump Ranger: I hope you moderate squishes, 30% of the GOP, get your wish. Your wish is that Trump is taken off the baord and you can go ahead and form a coallition of the GOPe 30%ers (TDS losers like you), “moderates, and disaffected Democrats. Good luck with that.’
Well this squishy loser would like to see the left defeated in the election and maybe, just maybe, despite the great things Trump did as President, he is not the best choice at this point in time.
If you are going to name call instead of making a reasonable point, do it right:
You beslubbering flap-mouthed puttock are a unmuzzled boil-brained whey faced foot licking clotpole. (apologies to Jim for violating FR rules of conduct)
Quite a few people here seem to believe one of two things; a) the Deep State would never go after DeSantis the way they have Trump or b) DeSantis would be able to easily deal with it if they did.
I’ll be nice and not say what I think of those ideas.
Yes. Those who believe DeSantis would be able to stay above the fray are delusional
Of course, if he continues to dance with the devil should he become POTUS, he could be OK. He’d just be a younger version of Biden, a figurehead controlled by puppet masters.
Bush Light?
“Bush Light?”
Exactly. IMO, Trump’s four greatest accomplishments were:
He made us fuel independent.
He got the economy rocking — twice.
He shut down the invasion at the border.
He kept us out of wars so our young people weren’t being killed to help countries that hate us.
DeSantis’ biggest supporters are in the Military Industrial Complex. Our kids will be dying all over the world just to increase bank accounts of those people. So, yes, “Bush Light”, as you say. Maybe you could even drop the “Light”.
More Lord Fauci...
Tillerson, Esper and FBI Director Wray...more Trump
or....we can pick a winner.
I would definitely agree with your picks. I might add number five, much fairer relationships with foreign nations visa vie trade and security.
Maybe you could even drop the “Light”.
OK, but I was just making a backhanded comparison to Bud Light as a wisecrack.
