MAGA supporters call for Gov. DeSantis to deploy National Guard to protect ex-president at Mar-a-Lago from possible arrest and plan a 'Patriot Moat' at Florida mansion - as GOP chiefs accuse Manhattan DA of 'abusing his power'

The money excerpt:
Now, some MAGA conservatives are demanding that DeSantis refuse to extradite Trump to a 'Soros DA' until the Florida government can conduct its own investigation — with some even saying the governor should call in the Florida National Guard to protect Trump.

But so far, DeSantis has remained quiet about the potential arrest, even as other Republicans line up to denounce the possible indictment as an 'abuse of power.'

Among those calling for action are political commentator Mike Cernovich and radio host Stew Peters.

Cernovich, for his part, demanded that DeSantis refuse to extradite the former president, even offering a statement for the Florida governor to use.

'I will not extradite a presidential candidate to a Soros DA who allows violent criminals to roam free until there has been a proper legal review conducted under Florida law,' he offered. 'If lawful, then extradition may occur, but not one day sooner.'

Political strategist and former radio host Joey M. also tweeted 'if DeSantis signs that extradition request, his political career as we know it would be over. He’d be worse than Pence.

So why is DeSantis obligated to do anything here, especially after the way trump has been trashing him?

If New York's finest actually flies down to Mar-A-Lago to slap cuffs on Trump, would it not be an issue for the Sheriff's department, local law enforcement, and the Secret Service?

Rattler tries to bite with:
"So why is DeSantis obligated to do anything here, especially after the way trump has been trashing him?"

Fine, then.
Just fine.
Let Mr. DeSantis do nothing in defense of Mr. Trump.
Fine with me.

So DeSantis is supposed to defy the federal government and illegally block extradition in order to prevent Trump from being arrested???  Nothing like just handing a clear cut case of Obstruction of Justice to Biden's DOJ, huh?  So instead of Trump going to trial in a case in which he very likely would be exonerated eventually, DeSantis is supposed to get convicted of a crime of which he'd actually be guilty.  And whomever DeSantis would order to obstruct federal marshals wouldn't comply with his order anyway if they had a brain, so both of them would get arrested anyway.

This is almost a carbon-copy of the same type of logic that handed the Democrats the January 6 "insurrection".  Except I'm pretty confident DeSantis isn't stupid enough to fall for it as did Trump.

Which has been used against Trump and candidates tied to him with modest success

I think the MAGA-ites should just head to Florida themselves to physically prevent extradition.   Why beg someone else to break the law for "the cause" when you can just do it yourself?  Or are they just too cowardly?

Also, Trump and his followers have been calling Ron names, so now they expect him to protect Trump.  I'm sorry if I was a Governor where Trump is about to be arrested and Trump and his followers has been calling me names, I would just ignore his plea.

Right

They're demanding people like Desantis and everyone else to change Trump's dirty diaper.

Once again, who paid a stripper to do whatever strippers do? Trump or DeSantis? Who tried to cover it up with hush money? Trump or DeSantis? Who tries to position themselves as being a victim here? Trump or DeSantis? This ain't Russia this or that, which Trump could rightfully claim being the victim of a corrupt alphabet government/democrat media and party/Hillary. This is the scratching and clawing of Trumpists trying to bring down everyone with Trump as they circle the drain.

Most everyone here defended Trump against the fake accusations brought on by the machine (Octopus with many legs). People went to jail over it. But at some point, nobody wants to be the head stepped upon and pushed under water for covering up a cover-up. The argument that Biden has done worse is a valid one, but until we have someone clean enough in office to not draw rightful friendly fire, we are just excusing corruption ourselves.

There is a reason one wants the high ground... Trump gave up that high ground and sharing sinking sand with others makes a rough go of things.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

If DeSantis calls in the National Guard to try to resist the federal government, he instantly becomes unelectable nationally.  Probably why some Trump supporters are urging it.

Uhh, maybe I'm just dumb, but as far as I can tell, these would be charges by a NY prosecutor for violations of NY law, and as far as I know, NY police do not have jurisdiction to make arrests outside of NY.

So that means they would have to seek extradition through Florida courts, not some midnight SWAT raid.

Yup

NYPD can’t go to Florida to arrest him. And this type of charge isn’t up to a level to require a SWAT team

Many in the MAGA movement have a limited grasp of basic civics. I blame public education

The Trump side needs to STHU and bite the bullet. This should be an easy case to win, then file for sanctions, RICO, or whatever else to get back at the NY/DOJ legal slime machine. Enough of the drama already.

Trump never knows when to keep his mouth shut and yes, he lives for the drama.

Assuming this misdemeanor charge is filed, it really shouldn't survive a motion to dismiss. Then Trump should file a lawsuit for malicious prosecution against the Soros prosecutor.

It probably will survive a motion to dismiss - most NY trial judges are averse to granting those, particularly for a defendant like Trump who doesn't tick any of the MFM (most favored minority) boxes.

That being said, if he gets a dismissal or an acquittal, he should sue for malicious prosecution.

Exactly. What I meant was that in a sane, just world - as opposed to Manhattan - it wouldn't survive a motion to dismiss!

@mountaineer

Sounds like a good plan,but would he be suring for malicious prosecution in Fl,or in NY? I suspect trying this in a NY court would be a waste of time and money,although it MIGHT help him politically. After all,practically nobody from NY will be voting for him anyhow.

[mountaineer]

The malicious prosecution suit would be filed in NY.

Oh,well.

So much for that

@Kamaji

In that case,it would be a waste of time and money.

Damn shame he can't bring a suit up in America.
