Ron DeSantis, the GOP candidate for governor in Florida, constantly refers to an FBI investigation of corruption in Tallahassee on the campaign trail. He has repeatedly suggested that Andrew Gillum, the Democratic candidate, is a target of that investigation. Gillum, of course, denies it.
While I don’t claim to be familiar with all of the facts, there appears to be enough substance to the allegations to be worrisome. The paradox, of course, is that Trump and his GOP allies maintain that the FBI is just a tool of the “deep state.” If that is indeed the case, why should I attach any importance to an investigation of Democrats in Florida?
