Sounds like Chad (an actual Chad) has some big ole skeletons about to come flying outta his “closet” so best to just stay in Hillsborough County, that seems VERY important.
“Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration,” Chronister, the sheriff of Hillsborough County, posted on X.”w
Team Trump just signed an agreement with the FBI to vet his his nominees. Team Trump cannot be trusted to do it on their own and the nominees like Hegseth lie
I wonder what Mr. Chronister did that persuaded him to withdraw his nomination to be head of DEA. My guess is drug running.
In 2017, Chronister's son, George, was arrested for stabbing another man in the face. In 2018, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison and 3 years probation to follow his release.
In April 2022, Governor Ron DeSantis reassigned a state attorney to resolve a conflict of interest in executing duties related to a motion to terminate the probation.
This is gonna be a shit show for the next 4 years. Hope your happy @cnn.com yall wanted him to win so you could talk 💩 and boost ratings at the expense of your country 🤦♂️
You just can't make this shit up. The "Don" wants to appoint a guy to fight drugs who is married to the daughter of an organized crime family! Mob, Drugs, get it? But the extreme right wing nut jobs get into a screaming fest because this dude (who is a small time sheriff BTW) isn't MAGA enough?
Florida news websites reporting that pressure from MAGA anti-vaxxers amongst reasons for withdrawal, because Chad arrested an anti-covid pastor during lockdowns. Absolutely nothing to do with his son having the nickname "stabby" because of all his stabbing.
You have to respect those who carefully weigh their priorities, options, work environs, present/future responsibilities and so on, making the best choices for themselves & their families. I wish him well.
DEA needs abolished! It is a duplicated service as we already have the FBI, State Police, City Police & County Sheriff's looking for dope in our failed drug war

He made a smart choice.
Sure, Chad.
