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.

Oh, I am appreciative, however, that shouldn’t keep anyone from pointing out his hypocrisy where the J6 protestors are concerned.
Are you having twitches? You keep repeating yourself or are you Joe Biden? You and Biden certainly have his same beliefs on issues.
And just how does that matter today and now? Again, you and a couple others are so critical of DeSantis and supporters, who are all now behind Trump, that you can’t move forward. Again, your criticism, the rudeness and namecalling of others is destructive. No wonder Republicans end up losing when they should be winning.
Ron as VP would muzzle Dim’s attempts at post-election Impeachment.
Kangaroos Ask People To Stop Unfairly Comparing Them To U.S. Justice System (Babylon Bee of course)
AUSTRALIA — Kangaroos hosted a press conference today calling for a stop to demeaning comparisons to the United States justice system.
“Please, we beg you - stop comparing the U.S. legal system to a ‘kangaroo court’.
He already said he would refuse to extradite PDJT from Florida.
I wasn’t going to bring up DeSantis today, but since others have brought him up, I’ll share some thoughts I had, after the verdict was announced. I was struck by all the slings and arrows Trump has faced, how resilient he is, and how quickly DeSantis would have crumbled had he faced even one of the lawfare indictments Trump has had to face.
Ignore for the moment, that he couldn’t have afforded the legal expense. Anybody who thinks DeSantis has the smarts, the fortitude, or the leadership ability to have politically survived such an onslaught, is kidding himself.
Trump is the only one who has even a remote chance of taking on the deep state. That’s why many of us were so critical of the great pretender (AKA Mini-MAGA). Ron wanted to derail the MAGA movement by replacing its leader and leading the movement back into the hands of the establishment like a modern day Pied Piper. He tried to co-opt the movement in the same way the Tea Party movement was co-opted. And no, he didn’t do it as a backup plan, just in case Trump was prevented from running. He counted on Trump being taken out. DeSantis played Mr. Populist on the easy, inconsequential stuff and refused to take a stand against the things that matter most, such as election fraud.
With the help of his RINO backers, he tried to pretend he was the leader that Trump is, hoping people would be too gullible to see how much of an illusion his highly orchestrated leadership as governor has been.
No Nikita is/was in Israel telling the Israelis to “clean out all of Hamas, and all in “palestine” who support them. Thus proving her true backing— the mil-industrial industries of the globalist/NATO/EU world. Still fake, and slow to respond when she could have been classy. Well below DeSantis in concsiousness and conscience.
Are you against endless wars? One way that endless wars are perpetuated is by allowing a dangerous enemy to go away to lick his wounds and return to fight another day, rather than defeating him once and for all. If Israel is serious about stopping the attacks this time, rather than letting Hamas, their declared mortal enemy, survive to continue the conflict into the future, they should be encouraged to do so. Haley has her own reasons for supporting such a policy. Even a blind squirrel stumbles upon an acorn every once in a while.
That’s a lie.
Is he caring and kind watching the raid at MAL go down?
You know that he knew in advance.
Wrong. DeSantis has stood tough for our ideas and policies. He could easily withstand these midgets.
Reaction from McConnell, Graham - crickets.
Not to mention Romney, Thune and the gang.
Wow that was a stalking horse
We’ll be OK. Thanks though.
That is so wrong it’s laughable.
Ron, Nikki, Scott, each as VP assures an assassination attempt.
Not necessarily so with SHS, VR, maybe Doug and Ben.
So well stated. Well done.
And you are the reason this verdict today doesn’t bother me too much. Because in the end you people are no better than the left wingers who oppose us.
Enjoy Biden’s second term. You deserve it.
Thank you.
