If you didn't hear warnings about this latest Trump scandal back in 2016 and '17

then you weren't reading and listening to what I was. There was no shortage of predictions that among the grifting and criminal behavior his family was going to set up once they infested the White House was the selling of state secrets for personal enrichment. It was as plain as his obesity and combover.

DeSantis is more dangerous than this?

While far from any prize, I’d hate to fashion someone could be worse or more of a threat.

… hand over fist. Unlike Trump, who claimed be a successful businessman, DeSantis has actual experience in government, and knows damn well where the levers are.

This being discussed during those four years.

But, yes, it isn't surprising.
