Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to make his case to GOP voters.
DeSantis is locked in a tough fight with Donald Trump for the nomination.
And all hell broke loose when Ron DeSantis let Trey Gowdy in on this little secret.
Driving a stake through the heart of the Deep State is a pillar of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Trump plans to resurrect “Schedule F” — an executive order he signed at the tail end of his first term — which would strip civil service protections from tens of thousands of federal bureaucrats and allow the president to fire the woke, left-wing ideologues that burrowed themselves in the permanent government.
DeSantis wants to show Republicans he is also committed to draining the swamp.
One of the main targets of DeSantis’s wrath is the FBI and its controversial director, Christopher Wray.
On Wray’s watch the FBI persecuted Trump supporters for January 6 while giving a free pass to Black Lives Matter and Antifa terrorists, arrested pro-life activists for praying in front of abortion clinics, said Antifa was just an idea and not a real group, and interfered in the 2020 election by helping social media companies censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.
DeSantis laid out his plan to drain the swamp in an interview with Glenn Beck.
And step number one would be firing FBI Director Wray.
“I would not keep Chris Wray as Director of the FBI, there would be a new one day one. I think that’s very important,” DeSantis stated.
DeSantis also explained how the FBI and Department of Justice were not independent agencies and that he would appoint an attorney general who would relish attacks from the liberal media and would not deviate from implementing DeSantis’s agenda.
“In terms of an attorney general, you need someone that’s got a really strong backbone. You need somebody that knows that if you’re going in there and you’re taking care of business, The Washington Post is not going to like you, The New York Times is not going to like you, you’re going to get attacked by CNN, and you’ve got to wear that as a badge of honor. You can’t try to please polite society, because otherwise you’ll just get captured by the institution itself. And I think the DOJ and FBI have lost their way. I think that they’ve been weaponized against Americans who think like me and you, and I think that they’ve become very partisan,” DeSantis continued.
DeSantis told Beck that past Republican presidents accepted the canard that the DOJ and the FBI are independent agencies which allowed the left-wing career bureaucrats embedded in federal law enforcement to make sure that the left weaponized the justice system against conservatives even if a Republican won the election.
“Part of the reason that’s happened, Trey, is because Republican presidents have accepted the canard that the DOJ and FBI are ‘independent.’ They are not independent agencies, they are part of the executive branch, they answer to the elected president of the United States. So, as president, you have a responsibility to be involved in holding those agencies accountable, clearing out people who are not doing the job, and making sure that they’re doing the people’s business and they’re not abusing their authority. For example, if the FBI or DOJ, whatever collude with a tech company to try to censor information, everybody involved with that would be fired immediately if I were the president. And right now, I think those agencies have been able to go without any real accountability,” DeSantis added.
During Donald Trump’s time in office the DOJ and FBI persecuted and jailed as many Trump supporters as possible.
Now that Joe Biden is in office the FBI and DOJ appear to be shielding the Biden family from criminal charges.
Ron DeSantis — as well as Donald Trump — says he will end this two-tiered system of justice.
