Apparently it is the case that Ron DeSantis and his wife have been stealing money big time from the people of Florida.
The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times obtained a copy of an early iteration of the settlement agreement between Centene and the state that confirms the $10 million “donation” Centene made to the Hope Florida Foundation represented the return of taxpayer dollars stemming from Medicaid overpayments.
…
Hope Florida is the non-profit headed up by Casey “Lady MacBeth” DeSantis, who seems to want to run for governor now that husband Ron has term limits. Now, what seems to have happened is, an assorted cast of Republican miscreants from the DeSantis orbit collaborated to move $10 million of that Centene payment to Hope Florida and then, almost immediately, to two PACs pushing to help Ron DeSantis claim victory in stopping recreational marijuana.
The article to which I’ve linked also points out that DeSantis just appointed an attorney general who, himself, should probably be on the side of the courtroom opposite the prosecutor, and not as the defense attorney.
So the title to the post to which I’ve linked is, and perhaps the title was written jokily: Will Ron And Casey Go To Jail Over $10M They ALLEGEDLY Diverted?.
So, I think I can answer that question. It is now impossible for a Republican politician to break the law, since the laws do not apply to them. Ron will retire from his term limited job in peace, and his wife, who is looking to succeed him will likely do so.
