Ron DeSantis has been stunned into silence

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

By Thursday of this week it was clear that the Feds were planning to give a cooperating plea deal to indicted Florida Republican political figure Joel Greenberg. On Friday, that deal was officially announced. Suffice it to say that Greenberg’s close Florida pal Matt Gaetz, who is under federal criminal investigation in the same scandal, is sweating it. But he may not be the only one.

There’s no known evidence that Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has ties to the Greenberg-Gaetz sex trafficking scandal. But there is plenty of evidence that DeSantis knows both these guys quite well. We’ve all been waiting to see if this scandal would find its way back to DeSantis in some way big or small.

So it’s notable that DeSantis – who typically posts multiple tweets every day from his @govrondesantis account – has gone quiet since Thursday. That’s the same timeframe in which we all learned that Joel Greenberg was going to cut a deal. This can’t be a total coincidence – can it?
