Trump allies counting on Ron DeSantis to refuse extradition to New York if

if ex-president gets indicted

Donald Trump could be in real trouble back in New York, where he lived and worked most of his life -- and the former president's allies are hoping the governor in his new home state will bail him out.

Manhattan district attorney Cy Vance Jr. has cranked up the heat on his investigation into Trump's dealings before his tenure ends, and he'll likely be forced to decide whether to charge the twice-impeached one-term president before leaving office -- but Trump allies see a possible out, reported The New Yorker.

"Among his social circle in Palm Beach, speculation abounds that Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, an ally, might not honor an extradition request from New York if a bench warrant were issued for Trump's arrest," reported the magazine's Jane Mayer.

Extradition Between States: Legal Basis
Within the United States, federal law governs extradition from one state to another. The Extradition Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article IV Section 2) requires that:

A person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

In addition to the Constitution, federal law (18 U.S.C § 3182) provides requirements for extradition. Requirements and guidelines can also be found in the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (UCEA). The UCEA is not mandatory and not all states have adopted it. States that haven't adopted the UCEA have their own extradition laws that comply with the federal statute.

the guy didn't do something that only exists as a possibility in their tiny delusional minds.

It's what he deserves.

2. Yep, the reason why I want Cuomo to stick in there. I know the LtG won't pardon Putin's Whore

... but the Russian MO is to brute force a politician with unverified bad acts before an investigation can be done to get a weaker person who's easier to beat into office.

kGQP think women are easier to beat in America and NY has had republican govs before.

I'll wait for the investigations in NY and don't think Death Sentence can get away with keeping Putin's Whore under his skirt

6. I agree. Seems like someone wants Cuomo's job. The Putin gang just needs to sit back

and see the Dems eat their own.

Agree that we could loose NY. The Lt Gov doesn't look impressive to me, or any of the other possible candidates.

Death Sentence wants to run for POTUS. Kind of hope he does. There's so much dirt on him in FL re: the vaccine rollout and donations given to his campaign from in exchange for vaccines in wealthy enclaves.

the person charged leaves the state and stays away. Wonder what other states would protect him, if he wanted to visit properties and maybe golf in CT, HI, CA or NJ, etc, for instance...

Once again, the media is inventing scenarios to create a dumb story for clicks. This is the same thing as when they started asking if Trump would agree to leave office if he lost the election. Just as Trump had no choice, a governor can't deny extradition of a fugitive. But leave it to the media to suspend reality and invent scenarios to get people up in arms....
