On his first day in office, DeSantis says he 'will consider' pardoning Trump.

@ClayTravis
Florida governor @GovRonDeSantis says ... if he’s elected president that on his first day in office he will consider pardoning any January 6th defendant he believes was politically prosecuted from a member of the public all the way up to President Trump himself.

And also some of the fake electors cases could be State indictments and not subject to Presidential pardon.

He's saying he might pardon...not definitely...just that he'll consider it. He's hedging in an attempt to win both sides of this issue. What a crock of 💩! It just makes him look even more swarmy.
