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.

The only person who victimized Trump is Trump.
So what are going to do when Trump’s term is up should he be re-elected?
If DeSantis had any virtue he would cancel his campaign and back Trump. DeSantis is a coconspirator of this second coup.
I’m no DeSantis fan, but running in a primary makes him a co-conspirator? Now that’s a stretch.
Talk is cheap.
If DeSantis really means what he says, he’ll secure Florida’s elections and do his damndest to see to it that Florida’s budget isn’t dependent on Deep State’s largesse.
DeSanctimonius wants to have his cake and eat it too. What a weak objection “To bad they are persecuting my opponent, will you give me his vote to fight those dirty crooks?”
Weaponized government, known as lawfare, is the favorite weapon of the democrat communist party in this ongoing CWII.
LOL--your scenario is like Goldilocks. The porridge is too little, too much, too hot, too cold, too soon, too late.
Check your watch. It is time for your morning prostration at the Trump altar.
The Bush Crime Family has been persecuting Trump since 2014 and DeSantis is their meat puppet. Don’t Be Fooled. Ron DeSantis Is a Bush-Cheney Republican.
“Classic normalcy bias. A sign of a low IQ.”
Another clearer sign of a low IQ is not having a backup plan when it’s been shown and proven that you desperately need one.
DeSantis running is a backup plan should the left manage to disqualify Trump from running. It ain’t rocket science, it’s logic. And you have the nerve to denigrate someone ‘else’s’ IQ?
DeSantis’ timely statement was appropriate for this outrageous action by the DOJ.
In your fantasy world, everyone prostrates themselves and worships at the Trump altar.
“LOL—your scenario is like Goldilocks. The porridge is too little, too much, too hot, too cold, too soon, too late.”
Sorry if it hurts your feelings noting that the DeSantis statement is MEANINGLESS, due to its timing.
Well lookie there.
That may be the first time you’ve ever spelled his name correctly. Wonder if Trump might finally do the same now too.
What is happening to Trump is clearly unfair. But he may not get much sympathy from a lot of people, considering how egregious and condescending he’s been for so long to everyone but his disciples.
It looks like DeSantis will call the situation out for what it is, as I expected he would. And hopefully Trump will finally learn there can be a price to pay for being such a smart ass all the time, and get control of his mouth and keyboard before he does any more damage to himself.
He should have left out the last paragraph and not made it a campaign push.
If Trump suddenly passed away, who would you support?
Trump had a very similar situation during his first two years as President, of course, when the tax cut (authored by Paul Ryan, who I don’t support btw) was created and passed. After that he quickly fell apart, with 2020 being the worst year for a President in my lifetime, only Carter’s last year coming close. Meanwhile, DeSantis has only gotten better and better, and yes he’s being targeted by the left more and more every day, too.
Happy now you TDS freak? Are you going to throw a Trump indictment party?
If you’re so sure Trump will beat DeSantis, why call for DeSantis to drop out?
Nope, end weaponization after it’s been turned on then. Retribution...this guy is not it. Trump IS needed. We need hardball tactics....the country is on life support
