DeSantis doesn't trust federal government to look into apparent assassination attempt against Trump. Florida will conduc

Source: Sun Sentinel

Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed doubts Monday about the federal government’s ability to fairly and objectively investigate the apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

His solution: Florida will conduct its own state investigation into the Sunday incident at Trump’s golf club near West Palm Beach.
......

“I mean I look at the federal government with all due respect to them, you know, those same agencies that are prosecuting Trump in that jurisdiction are now going to be investigating this. I just think that that may not be the best thing for this country.
......

DeSantis’ reference to federal agencies refers to the special counsel investigation into Trump’s possession of classified documents after he left office, which is being handled in federal court in South Florida, and the investigation into his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, which is being prosecuted in Washington, D.C.

Where TF was Florida LEO? Florida covets weapons because of panderers like the Governor. The guy could have been seen walking around with his weapon for days and in Florida one is supposed to just accept that in the State that puts the Second Amendment on a pedestal but the entire LGBTQ community off public display.

Jefferson DeSantis?

Of course he can't stop a federal investigation. He's just going to come up with some white nationalist alternative conclusion about the attempt and then write a narrative around it and voilà! More fiction for fox.

And of course hide the truth.

You have to admit that this story knocked his shitty debate right out of the news cycle. Be a shame if the official investigation showed that it was all an act. So lets have a farce investigation.

They know that THEY would never honestly investigate a shooting of a rival so they don't expect anyone else to either.

The federal government is already investigating this incident. It was the U.S. Secret Service who found the gun, arrested the suspect and have been interogatting the guy. President Biden is already seeking more help for the Secret Service. DeSantis is simply trying to use this sorry episode for political gain.

The worst case scenario for DeSantis is that he gets at least a crumb of attention. The best case is his people find a totally irrelevant puzzle piece that can be used to assemble a viral conspiracy theory. Move over Laura Loomer!
