Rick Wilson: Ron DeSantis Must Have Known About the Raid and Stayed Silent.

.

This is an interesting tweet from Rick Wilson. The highlighted emphasis was mine.

@TheRickWilson
It was really kind of Ron DeSantis to offer so much support for the FBI raid on Mar A Lago.

Clearly had to know about it and stayed silent for the good of America.

Nah, there is absolutely no reason to think that DeSantis would know about a federal operation, something that’s entirely out of his jurisdiction.

GOP sympathizers in the FBI could have told him.

Trump's SS detail could have noticed Trump was under surveillance, there had to be some evidence for the judge to sign the search warrant.

Local cops could have noticed something going on in terms of FBI surveillance.

Why did DeSantis allow the raid to take place.
And is keeping his mouth shut.

Must be bad stuff for this to happen.

Like the baptism sequence in The Godfather…”Ron DeSantis, do you renounce Satan?”



“For ever?”

Only explanation that makes sense.

The GOP elite is done with Trump. He is a liability to them.

DeSantis is the heir apparent.
