DESANTIS: “Well, I think it’s — there’s a lot of speculation about what the underlying conduct is that is purported to be it. And, you know, the reality is, that’s just outside my wheelhouse. I mean, that’s just not something that I can speak to. So, I hope it doesn’t come to where you end up seeing this going forward. I mean, look, if you are a very strident prosecutor, and this guys is on the left, and you’re not prosecuting a lot of crimes, Manhattan’s gotten less safe, you’re going to go after somebody on the other side for some novel offense, that just does not inspire confidence and people see that as weaponizing the justice system. So, I think it’s fundamentally wrong to do that and, you know, I just made it be known. But we’ll see, maybe it won’t come to that. I mean, we haven’t seen anything firm yet.”
