Expect that a President Ron DeSantis would have a firm hand on federal law enforcement agencies, if comments made Saturday in Iowa mean anything.
During an event in Clinton Saturday, the Republican candidate told supporters that the idea that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice are “independent agencies” is just a “canard” that allows them to be unaccountable to the Executive Branch.
DeSantis said “part of the reason you’ve seen these agencies weaponized is because they haven’t been held accountable by anybody for many, many decades.”
“There’s this canard in Washington that they’re ‘independent agencies’, that the President’s not allowed to be involved in DOJ or FBI. That’s politicizing justice is what they say,” the Governor griped. “Well, let me tell you this, if you’re not allowed to be involved, if they’re independent, that’s another way of saying they’re unaccountable to anybody.”
DeSantis claimed that “The Founders understood” that if power is allowed to “accumulate,” then those agencies would naturally “abuse their power.”
“And these agencies are in Washington DC. It’s toxic,” DeSantis argued. “It’s a political environment, left of the left, DC is the most Democrat jurisdiction in the entire United States of America, more Democrat than San Francisco even. And that bleeds into everything that these agencies are doing.”
DeSantis said he might move the FBI Civil Rights division to “Oklahoma” or “Arkansas” in seeming response to that registration imbalance.
Throughout the campaign, DeSantis has weighed in on different and allegedly subjective standards of justice from federal law enforcement, on issues big and small, including cocaine found in the White House over the summer.
When discussing that powder in July, the Governor suggested there was a nefarious cover up to protect the President’s interests.
“Isn’t it interesting how you have this cocaine there? I don’t see the FBI and the Department of Justice mobilizing and doing like a real serious litigation of this. I kind of feel like if they’re a Republican White House that you’d have swarms of (Drug Enforcement Administration) and FBI agents trying to get to the bottom of who brought that into the White House. I think with this, they’re just treating the Joe Biden administration with kid gloves,” Ron DeSantis told the Newsmax audience.

Ònly one peŕson or a small group is independent in fascism.
Dregs like DeSSgustus want these agencies totally controllable, so they ànd their associates are never accountable.

Once The Ronald moves into the White House we will create a “second” National Law Enforcement Agency staffed with select ex-Navy Seals and ex-Green Berets.
And yeah we will be paying for our new agency and the FBI operations … but only for a two week transition period. At which time we will totally defund the FBI. And good luck to all those fine agents that just lost their FBI jobs …
Y’all better come on over and apply with our new agency, let us run you thru our state of the art Dook 4 Brains Lefty Detecter much like a metal detector but fine tuned to detect leftys.
Thanks America,

Again, Desantis is discrediting federal law enforcement agencies. These agencies are not perfect, but neither are many of the law enforcement agencies in Florida.
Perhaps we should look at Ashley Moody agency, she is Ron’s puppet.

Hear, hear!
Two states have now gone to court and won suits against the leading manufacturer of ghost guns, a growing problem for law enforcement.
Moody prefers running to and fro throughout the country on DeSantis’ partisan full-court press against wokeness to protecting the public from ghost gun violence.
Ron’s AG opposes the right of a woman to choose and is against marijuana being legalized — going so far as to try to derail citizen initiatives in these areas.

The only federal police force and justice department that DeSantis would ever endorse if not allow into existence would be those that he would create and would report directly to him as El Presidente del República Bananera.

If any agency gets out of hand, there are legal remedies from the other independent branch of government. That would be the courts.

Theoretically this is true. However, the old balance of power has been destroyed gradually by the GOP’s concerted effort to pack the courts.
It’s hard to look at either the US or Fla. supreme courts and not conclude they have become partisans.

Is the FDLE a right-wing agency controlled by Desantis or does it operate without political interference. Just asking…

Good mornting Patriots,
As you can see by a quick review of the above commentary, Earl Pitts American, is the only Patriot bold enough to stand up to this den of leftist snakes and make them uncomfortable with a generous helping of Truth, Justice, And The American Way applied to their posteriors.
I encourage more Patriots to build up the courage to leave your wise commentary to spank these Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s along with me. You can be Male or Female it makes no difference my Beloved Patriots.
And just to kill a wild totally Un-True rumor thats been holding back a lot of you male Patriots:
No there is no “Special Endowments Or Special Equiptment” requirement to spank these lefty’s.
It has come to my attention that many of you male Patriots were falsly under the impression that you must have ginormas low hanging “Bull Of The Woods Gonads” like me, Earl Pitts American. My mis-guided Male Patriots that rumor was started by these Dook 4 Brains lefty’s after they googled how many men are endowed as genoursly and as manly as me, Earl Pitts American, and google told them none.
So you see I understand why y’all were shy to post any USA USA USA BOLD Patriotic comments men.
So put all those falshoods behind you. Truth is, My Patriot Men, even you men with diminuative peanuts in your sack below your tiny johnson may particapate.
So in summary:
Join me in the sport of spanking these Dook 4 Brains Leftys my Patriots. You wont regret your wise decision.
And hey I could use a little help here, these Dook 4 Brains Leftys are off the chain, and working me like a one legged tap dancer.

Well sir you are not a Patriot so we must assume you to be a Dook 4 Brains Leftist, most likely with 2 tieney tiny peanuts in your tiny sack just south of your tiny johnson.
Sorry about that buddy,

C of K: You must be referring to fundamentalists who want the police to enforce their morality.
It’s puzzling to me why sheriffs and rank and file police continue to support right wingers who have opened up the floodgates for firearms. Not all, but most seem to be going along — afraid to lose their daddy. in the statehouse, White House, and etc..

gun freaks want to be paid to carry a gun and maybe get to shoot it at a black or brown american. that’s a right wing dream job. the moderate or left cops have to stand being around those thugs. no wonder police department are having a hard time recruiting.
