I just saw on Fox News that he hired the Cyber Ninjas to lead the investigation. Also, there is already a thread about the second republcian to supposedly try to pierce trumps other ear….
Maybe he can appt Giuliani as a state special prosecutor, but only after making sure the red ball fits on the nose properly.
They can get upset all they want, but he's RIGHT. Good on DeSantis for detailing the why, because the state doesn't want to be seen as interfering with a federal investigation. Let them both investigate. This is getting out of hand. Two attempts in a ten week period. Enough is enough.
I hope not. This deserves its own thread. DeSantis means business, regardless of the outcome of the investigation. The more eyes on this, the better.
lol, he’s such a grandstanding moron and you’re eating it up. The state should be conducting its own investigation when there are potentially state crimes involved - that is SOP. Usually the FBI and state/local officials will combine resources to conduct a more thorough investigation and not waste resources doubling efforts. At the end of the day, at the State/local and Federal levels they each will have to decide whether to prosecute those crimes. Personally, I’ve seen the Feds just hand the entire case off to the state at a point when they’ve determined there is a substantial overlap in charges. I doubt that will happen here considering how high profile this is and there are likely some upcoming federal charges that are of a different nature than the prospective state charges.
Agree, but there is a leftie/troll mod that doesn't want there to be any highlight of the Biden/Harris administration's failure to provide adequate security to a former potus from the "opposition". They are only concerned with protecting themselves and that prat obama.
good point. Let’s not do that thing whenever there is a new quote or news item on the assassination to run over and start a new thread.
Politicians grandstand. It's in the job description. However, this warrants the grandstanding and public discourse. At the very least, the Federal agencies have shown themselves inept and inadequate. From the Secret Service to the FBI. It's been almost 3 months since Crooks did his thing and do we know anything about a motive? Guarantee you Moody produces a motive and if she does it before the Feds do, even better. I have a feeling this decision will be talked about for decades. This isn't just a casual Fed/state overlap of an attempted murder case. DeSantis wants to put his signature on this one for a reason. Even if it's only for the sake of grandstanding, GOOD FOR HIM. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A PRESIDENT SHOT AT TWICE IN 10 WEEKS!! The only reason Routh didn't get off any shots himself was because the SS actually took action this time. DeSantis investigating this is good, because the security of Donald Trump has been severely compromised. We NEED to know why. That helps both Republicans and Democrats.
It's all part of the grand conspiracy. . . like hiring incompetent nut cases to perform a hit. It's like 6D chess it's sooo clever!
Yes, but Obama is the puppet master of the grand Liberal Conspiracy. Come on dude, you didn't know that? It's common knowledge in the circle of stupidity known as MAGA.
In my experience the FBI is far more adept than state agencies. The most recent instance I’ve dealt with the FBI handed it off to the state and then the state went back to the FBI for its expertise for significant portions of the case. Regardless, DeSantis’s statement changed nothing. The state was going to investigate either way.
"We need to take out Trump, he's too dangerous" "Ok, I've got a few veteran snipers we can call, 100 confirmed kills in Iraq each" "No, I was thinking we go with the incel loser who got kicked out of a gun club and the guy who tweets at Sean Penn to buy MiGs" "That's why you were president Barack, always playing chess when the rest of us are playing checkers"
