That utterly disgusting human being desantis should be seeing jail time for that stunt, he won't of course because he is a rich right wing white male. Anybody who enables this modern version of right wing politics is also as much a piece of vermin as desantis, like those enabling that horrific pack of sub human filth the tory party, I am tired of making excuses for those who continue to support them. No more shy tories, no more 'my local mp' crap and no more they just didn't know better. It couldn't be more obvious than in the US and the UK the right wing is ideolgy of greed, cruelty and bigotry.

Not bizarre at all, if you watch the clip. They're claiming that a citizen of the correct political persuasion would not be prosecuted.

There may be some truth to the claim. If someone transported the folks from Martha's Vineyard back to Florida and set them up with jobs, I doubt they're getting prosecuted for it. What is going unsaid there is that it's the motivation for moving those people that matters. If you're just jerking their chain, that's morally wrong.

I would argue that, as I understand accounting laws prior to Sarbanes-Oxley, the 'smartest guys in the room' from Enron did nothing illegal. They ended up in the clink because their actions with respect to freezing employees' retirement savings were incredibly immoral, and it wasn't hard to get twelve people to agree that they deserved to be punished irrespective of whether the gray areas in the law they operated in were kosher or not.

It's a clever sleight-of-hand that uses the liberal/conservative divide to obscure the real issue here, which is the moral character of DeSantis's actions.

I’m a CPA that has worked in financial reporting as an auditor or for SEC registrants my entire career

The Enron guys broke virtually every SEC and GAAP rule under the sun
