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.

Kangaroo court?
Gosh, you think?
My suggestion....send Marchand and Bragg a bunch of stuffed kangaroos.
Ron’s the best. He’s always caring and kind. Glad he’s first out of the gate with his incredible support for president trump!
Good statement.
This is why I can forgive Ron from running in the primary.
He knew Trump might not be an option.
I agree.
Well said.
Joe Stalin is smiling in hell.
What Nikki, cat got your tongue?
Instead of flapping his gums he should be busting his butt to secure his state’s elections.
Still hasn’t done that, has he.
Go figure.
Ron DeSantiss can prostrate himself at the feet of President Trump. I remember how my Governor campaigned (after Trump helped him win the office in the first place).
I also remember the posts of Every Single never Trump person on this site.
Remember now this day who has control of the nuclear football. Who was found too incompetent to be charged with a federal crime! Remember it was your Rinos who traded our children’s future and Gabe billons to Ukraine. Remember our Southern border and what crossing in numbers to large to get accurate counts!
Shame on you. Can’t you get over it, move on like the rest of us, and be appreciative of DeSantis quick support?
Thank you. I genuinely meant every word.
I say pick Ron vp soon and make him defacto messager. That is IF Trump is silenced. Does anyone even know if Trump can go home today?
Appeals exist to correct errors, not to address judicial misconduct. The amount of pages required to address all of the wrong decisions of this judge is enormous. This is how or legal system really works. The judge decided the result he wanted, and then shaped all of his decisions to support it. In a properly functioning common law judiciary, a prerogative writ would have issued to remove this guy from this case. It didn’t happen.
Foolish. Florida has tightened its election process. When a governor goes from a squeaky win to a 20 point win. You know they got rid of the corruption.
Well Scheiff,
full blown third world/transformation so quickly after the HusseinOsama Ascension to holiness ..

I, for one, am looking forward to the awesome sun tan I’m gonna get walking the precincts knocking on doors for the Trump campaign.
