Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Thursday night that the state will not cooperate with any request to extradite Donald Trump after the former president was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury.
“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,” DeSantis tweeted.
“The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda,” he added.
Extradition would only be required if Trump refused to leave his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to attend an arraignment hearing in New York.
The most recent witness to testify was David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer, who appeared before the grand jury on Monday.
“Pecker was a key player in the $150,000 “catch-and-kill” payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, in which the Enquirer bought the publishing rights to her claim that she — like Daniels — had an affair with Trump before he became president. The Enquirer never reported McDougal’s allegations but its parent company, American Media Inc., featured her in other publications. Trump has denied having sex with either woman and has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the payments to them,” according to the New York Post.
Manhattan District Attorney Bragg responded last week to a potential indictment and arrest of former President Donald Trump. Bragg issued a vague statement that did not actually provide any information about what might happen next.
Bragg sent a letter to members of the House Judiciary Committee after they sent their own letter “demanding communications, documents, and testimony relating to Bragg’s unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority and the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump.”
In his letter, the Manhattan DA said his office will “publicly state the conclusion of our investigation—whether we conduct our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment.”
Bragg also addressed the letter the House Judiciary Committee previously sent to his office and said, “Your letter dated March 20, 2023, (the ‘Letter’), in contrast, is an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for a congressional inquiry.”
The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the criminal investigation into Trump has taken many turns in the last week.
The case involves Trump’s alleged role in hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, allegedly to keep Daniels quiet about an affair the two of them had in 2006.
The indictment has triggered outrage from many given federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorneys office for the Southern District of New York chose not to charge Trump in 2019 related to the payment to Daniels.
The Federal Election Commission also tossed its investigation into the matter in 2021.
The DA’s reported decision also comes as Trump is running for president in 2024, which has led to some arguing that the investigation and charges are politically motivated.
Paying someone to shut up is illegal?
Let's see, if I remember correctly there is a slush fund for our elected officials to pay off sexual assault and harrassment victims with Taxpayer's money. In order to collect these funds, the victims must sign an NDA. Golly, this sounds awfully similar. I guess the argument is that Trump didn't use taxpayer funds, but if they can prove he paid and if they can prove that he used his own election funds to do it with, perhaps that is the grounds for some sense of wrongdoing? It certainly seems awfully convoluted to me.
Let's round em all up and get rid of the fund!
I'm thinking that they will be getting their due soon. The precedent has been set for a false crime, this lines up the truly guilty for prosecution.
They're fishing with everything they have for ANYTHING to send him to jail over, and this is the best they can do because a low-rent porn 'star' said she got screwed by him and got paid for her trouble.
Either way, the dissent that it is causing, even in the DA office is revealing the corruption better than video evidence or any other evidence we could ever present. The red pills are dropping like rain these days.
Its worse than that, they are claiming that the payoff, regardless of where it comes from constitutes an illegal campaign donation because the NDA it purchased may have helped him win.
Yeah, the ridiculousness of these charges are beyond belief. All the illegal behavior of virtually all elected officials and this is the best that they have. It os just plain pathetic.
It's crazy. My understanding is this, the payment was to ensure silence, the silence itself was a campaign contribution, because it took place during the 2016 campaign, that supposed campaign contribution (again, silence, not money) was not declared in Trump's official campaign contribution paperwork. So, Trump's lawyer paid OUT money which resulted in an unreported contribution to the campaign, thus illegal. It's all BS.
Push is coming to shove. If Trump is still President as many of us think, this won't be allowed to happen at all. This is getting good.
Yes, will this prove devolution???
So when it does happen, whatcha got then? AFAF
Ehm.. You call it out and draw public awareness.
Why are white hats abiding by the laws of the United States when engaged in war against the lying, cheating black hats who do not follow the law. This cannot continue
Not familiar with Q are ya?? Why are you here? Your post sure does glow.
Either I glow, or someone needs to modify their strategy to still be acceptable to the law while adapting to the environment that has allowed the cabal to commit genocide. Hows that?
I'm pretty sure that this is what is happening. Trump and Co. Are not defying the laws or breaking the laws, they are displaying the fact that no one is above the law, not a former President, not a current President, not any elected official nor private citizen. This is how you play the game. Trump has been skillfully maneuvering the Deep State to reveal their hypocricy. Breaking the law or defying the laws would prove nothing and would not wake the sleeping masses.
lol
Unless it's all part of the script.
Dooming hard, patriots.win is a more appropriate place for you
Hillary to Donald - "See, you're not supposed to pay someone to shut them up. You're supposed to hire someone to shut them up."
Good post. TU
Saw some tweets yesterday with some former secret service saying a Trump arraignment in Manhattan will never happen because there’s no way to lock it all down securely.
I see another popcorn run before work today.
Yeah...just when I think have enough... 💥🍿
Tuesday is 4/4. Trumps recent INDICATED tweet ended with 44 uppercase words. I suspect that was either negotiation or a heads up.
Meanwhile there was a meme making the rounds where the guy jumps outta the stolen car, with frames numbered 44, 43, 42, and 38. Reversed, that puts 38 on April fools. Is there a connection between April fools and the Superbowl 38 half time show? I guess we'll know tomorrow.
Heck yeah!
Interesting, thanks.
The delay gives Bragg and his corrupt underlings time to find a Jack Ruby-type guy. That guy will know exactly where Trump is going to be next Tuesday at 2:15 PM.
POTUS has had missiles launched at him and you think he's in danger now? Cabal is crippled beyond all repair. CBAR!
Well said!
"POTUS 100% insulated."
“USSS”
And the show Continues
I wonder if this is also to disrupt the dems FF "riots" plan when he's arrested. That way they have to spend more money and time to reschedule it.
He has Dem all by the PUSSY!!
Did Trump have an affair with Stormy Daniels or not? Not that I care either way; I'm just curious to know what all you guys think.
Damn , you said that ! but true !
Of course. And the Gov of NY and his wife will ride along in the front seat, too.
This will continue to be one of my biggest fears.
If they really do want civil war, this is how to ensure the country explodes.
Unlike with JFK, the country knows its enemies are the government and certain select elites behind the scenes. Retribution would not be a few fringe conspiracy theories over decades that our government was involved.
Retribution would be bloody.
We don't want to go down that road.
Neither do they, even if they think they do.
