Florida CFO Calls For State Funding To Defend Trump

“Imagine if we could fix the double standard of justice at the federal level. If we could fix the double standard of justice that doesn’t lock up a Hunter Biden but does everything possible to prosecute a President Donald Trump.

“So, here’s where I’m going with this. I think we need to set up a new legal defense fund for any Florida presidential candidate to use when they are targeted by politically motivated prosecutors, by the Department of Justice.

“When these men and women are brave enough to put their name on the ballot, we should protect them. Are you with me? We need to fund this.

“Our state right now is in the best fiscal health we’ve ever been in the history of the state, so it wouldn’t hurt to take a little bit of our budget surplus, set it aside.

“We can use this to protect any Floridian who wants to defend themselves and make sure these politically motivated prosecutors don’t magically appear during election cycle.” – Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis, speaking yesterday at a state GOP event.
