Republican Congressman George Santos Charged with Fraud, Money Laundering, Theft of Public Funds, and False Statements

Santos Allegedly Embezzled Contributions from Supporters, Fraudulently Obtained Unemployment Benefits, and Lied in Disclosures to the House of Representatives

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – A 13-count indictment was unsealed today in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging George Anthony Devolder Santos, better known as “George Santos,” a United States Congressman representing the Third District of New York, with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. -snip




Besides being an obvious criminal, this guy is a compulsive and pathological liar, he lies about nigh everything, his mother dying on 9/11, his grandparents being holocaust survivors, his schooling credentials, job crredntials etc to the nth power. Why did the GOP pick him to be their candidate for that district after the vetting process?

Seems like it was a "as long as he can win, who cares!" strategy. So nutty, so unAmerican.

Kind of reminds me of Biden's 2020 campaign strategy.

I see you Trumpers are in full cope mode over this, good. Very good.

House Republicans sidestep effort to expel George Santos from Congress

Republicans successfully sidestepped an effort to force them into a vote to expel George Santos, the New York representative, from Congress, which could have narrowed their already slim four-seat majority. -snip



If the GOP insist on protecting this deplorable, then the GOP is going to own every single lie and crime this deplorable is found guilty of after the legal hammer drops on him

Santos is another cancer in the party, you cut that out, not nourish it. Silly GOP, so shortsighted, so deplorable.

Hate to put this out to all the low information liberal Dems, but everyone who criticizes Biden is not a "Trumper". Reason for criticism of Biden is for the continued inept performance and embarrasing image he puts forth whenever he has to address issues (Cue Cards), teleprompters, and softball interviews with presubmitted questions. Many Independents, Non-Trumper republicans, and moderate democrats feel the same way. Does that make them "Trumpers" also? Pretty broad brush you are using. As for Santos, I hope that he gets the punishment that is deemed appropriate. I also wish the same for the Biden family crime syndicate. It is all coming to light, drip by drip.

You see a story about Republican George Santos' legal troubles and your first instinct is to rant about Joe Biden.

You're definitely a Trumper.

And your first reaction is to label everyone as a Trumper. Believe it or not, everyone who criticizes Biden is not a Trumper. Lots of Democrats do NOT want him to run again. Are they Trumpers? I am surprised that your use of that label isn't worn out yet. Why not step it up and use "MAGA" or "ULTRA MAGA" like Biden does. I think that you may be afflicted with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), which clouds rational thinking, pretty prevalent in the SF Bay area.

 

[TheDude]

Correct, not everyone who criticizes Biden is a Trumper. eg I criticize Biden at times and I am not a Trumper. You're definitely a Trumper though.

Reading a story about Republican George Santos' crimes and your gut reaction is to shift to and rant about Joe Biden, is classic BDS (Biden Derangement Syndrome).

You haven't elevated me to MAGA or ULTRA MAGA yet? I actually did speak to Santo's issues- sorry I did not lead with the statement to please lefties. I am cured of BDS since I believe the doddering fool will not have another 4 years to "Finish The Job". Young blood is needed to take charge and straighten out this country. Please sit down before I continue- I don't want the other old guy (Trump) to be the next leader either! Sorry if I caused your heart to palpitate. It is not productive for this country to be so polarized, reverting to labeling all dissenters with cute little names, which have been used so much that they are meaningless (both parties do this).

Who did you vote for in 2016 and 2020? To show good faith, I voted for Clinton and then Biden.

We agree on the "age" issue. As fine a job Biden is doing with the complete sh!t-show he was handed by four years of Trump's mismanagement, his age is a factor. We have a minimum age to be POTUS, we should also have a maximum age. Everyone loses cognitive abilities with age, everyone.

"It is not productive for this country to be so polarized". I agree here as well.

Holding my nose both times, I voted for Trump both times. I had enough of the Clintons ( I even voted for Bill once). Couldn't bring myself to vote for Lady McBeth. I had hoped both times for a set of more palatable centric unifying candidates but it was not to be. Hillary, with her "Basket of Deplorables" comment cooked her goose. Trump's desecration of John McCain turned me off. But in the end both times it was which one is the lesser of two evils- I wished both times there was a better choice to be made. I hope there are better choices on both sides in 2024. I truly dread this country having to choose between these two again. While we are at it, this country needs to implement term limits on Congress- let's get rid of the old fogey power brokers.

What surprises me is that he made it through the election process and got elected. All without any of his lies being discovered. His lies are extensive and gregarious! 911, holocaust, educational background, wealth, career success. Is he so thoroughly mesmerizing that no one asked ANYTHING! The guy should be teaching master classes in BS'ing and mind control.

After four years of Trump, his feed the rich polies, completely botched response to a pandemic, **trying to steal the election on the state level and then fueling an insurrection, coup and attack on US soil, you thought he was the "lesser of two evils" in 2020?

LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





**based on you voting for Trump again in 2024 as he the current head of the GOP and 2024 front runner

Most of his lies were shown in 2016, the GOP and the Conservative voting base simply didn't care.

eg Evangelicals knew he was a serial cheater, womanizer and serial liar in early 2016. They still backed Trump because "Trump is God's chosen candidate!" was pushed.


"A new Per Search Center survey finds that 27% of U.S. adults believe Trump’s election reflects God’s will in the sense that the 2016 outcome must be part of God’s overall plan" -PewRearch.Org

Based on the ongoing revelations regarding the weaponization of DOJ and FBI which even the most hardcore Dem can't deny, The Orange menace may once again be the lesser of two evils. Surely no one in their right mind can justify putting the Zombie back in the oval office. You won't be voting for him- he is merely the front man for all the leftover Obama and Clintonistas behind the curtain who are really running the show. I truly hope for other options by election time' No Labels Party maybe.
