Santos in federal custody as feds unseal 13-count indictment

I stopped at “sexual misconduct”…..JFC

 

Al Franken was in no way comparable to some of the crap Cuomo was doing.... Was still a ridiculous waste of a good man and Senator.....

And sure, R's act at the first hint of scandal.... always!!!

However, it DOES appear a few local NY R's have had enough of the man currently calling himself "George Santos"..... Bravo!

After pointing finger here and there.. the fact will remain the same. Santos will go to jail for very long time.

 

Who woudda thought?
Georgie Boy gets his "strength from God.
Those are some damn scary threats G.B.


'George Santos threatens to ruin Republicans who vote to expel him from Congress'

Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has refused to resign from Congress amid a second round of federal indictments, took to X on Wednesday to attack the handful of Republicans who introduced a resolution to expel him from the House of Representatives — and warn that he could ruin their careers over it.

"I look very much forward to seeing the anti American attempt by WEAK RINO’s to oust me without giving me my right to Due process," wrote Santos, who soon after being elected was exposed for having lied about almost every aspect of his personal background from his education to his work history. "Remember if I’m in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it."

"I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen," he continued. "I’m done with the hypocrisy and the projection coming from the same individuals for the last 10 months! #PolitcalWarfare does not scare me, I find my strength in God and with him in my life all is possible."

Santos was already indicted earlier this year on charges that he misrepresented how he was spending donors' money, fraudulently obtained public unemployment benefits, and lied to congress.

B

It was dems who pushed them both out. Meanwhile trump is the GOP front runner and santos is still in congress.

 

Again... constituents should have a mechanism to recall officials. I'm confident that Santos would be recalled.

 

Santos clearly expects the same support that Republicans routinely give their felons: To close ranks behind him and protect him from the consequences of his crimes, all the while speaking out that it is a "witch hunt" , "politically motivated", and "weaponization of the DOJ".

Who does he think he is, the Orange Stain ?

 

I think that would a cluster ****.

 

Curious to why you think so? It would be only constituents that could recall their elected officials. Right now, constituents have zero recourse until the next election.

 

Who can initiate the recall? How many names do you need on a petition? Say 25% of the electorate?
How many districts in this country can you name where you couldn't find 25% of the electorate wanting to recall the current officeholder?

Anybody can live with anybody for 2 years. Much tougher if your Senator is the problem...

 

He served his time-- how is that an indictment against Democrats, not holding their own, accountable? It's hilarious, though, that you seem oblivious to the irony of your being incredulous, that D.C. residents would re-elect Berry, after his release-- when the majority of Republicans are pledging to vote for Trump, even if it is during his incarceration!

 

Berry was charged and convicted based on incontrovertible evidence of his behavior. Trump, on the other hand, is being charged and prosecuted based on politically motivated interpretations of his actions. These prosecutions are similar to the first impeachment where some ******* in congress literally made up a narrative surrounding his call with Zelensky, ignored any and all evidence that contradicted that narrative and pushed the impeachment through.

 

Oh, OK-- it's different, with those on your side. So, among the 91 indictments against Trump, not a one, has any credibility? Not even the ones about possessing government documents, and dishonestly trying to avoid returning them? And being reckless in their storage, & in even showing them to others? Not even if juries convict Trump? Not even if it is a Florida jury?

I see your partisan lens-- which invalidates your argument, that criminal behavior only counts, if you say so.

No point in arguing, with someone who wants to predetermine what evidence is valid, & which is not.

 

With regard to the documents, Trump is being prosecuted for something we KNOW that others have done. Furthermore, Trump's position as president at the time confers rights to use, classification and retention of ANY documents he is given that others in government do not have. The issue of those rights is the FIRST thing that needs to be looked at by the justice system and looked at before any charges are filed. In the Smith case that IS NOT happening and the DoJ has made a unilateral judgement that they, not the courts, get to determine how those rights are held.

 

There's always an excuse, for your guy-- I know.

Because Trump makes something up, does not make it a credible defense.

Courts are not in the habit, AFAIK, of allowing prosecutors to charge bogus crimes. If that is happening, then the defense has an opportunity to file a motion with the court, to have the charges dismissed, because of their invalidity. I would have assumed, that you were aware of this.

Or, are you arguing that Trump's defense team is totally incompetent, because no attorney worth his fee, will represent a client, who is so well known for stiffing his lawyers?

 

For the house it’s only 2 years. They should pay more attention to who they vote for.
It’ll be corrupted by big money. We’ll have recall elections weekly for all sorts of dumb reasons.

 

What a pathetic piece of crap. I hope those Republicans are laughing at him rather than worrying about his pathetic little threats.

 

They display fear rather easily and usually without legit reason, so I wouldn't expect that response myself...

 

One can hope. It would be pathetic if some little worm like that frightened Republicans

 

He may be in deep doo doo legally, but he'll remain a Congressman until January 2025...

After thinking a bit about it and reading Raskin's reason for voting No to expulsion, I probably would have done the same.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jamie-raskin-explains-why-voted-130459763.html

Santos is a walking pile of crap, but he hasn't yet (unbelievably) met the high bar for expulsion yet.

With a September trial date, it'll be a tight race to see if he's convicted first or just voted out in November.

 

Curious if the Dems no votes were actually due to having Mendenez hanging over their heads?

 

More likely the same day Tlaib vote, which MTG is NOT happy about, focusing on BOO-Bert and Chip Roy

SNIP
Greene fumed at Roy, complaining that he “voted to kick me out of the freedom caucus, but keep CNN wannabe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Boebert and you voted with the Democrats to protect Terrorist Tlaib.” Roy shot back at Greene, telling The Hill’s Mychael Schnell that Greene should “go chase so-called Jewish space lasers if she wants to spend time on that sort of thing.” Greene fired back again on X/Twitter: “Oh shut up Colonel Sanders, you’re not even from Texas, more like the DMV.
ENDSNIP

Don't see it myself





If anything, Roy looks more like Walter White in 15 years (had he lived), a reference WAY too cool for MTG

 

But to be more serious, Menendez is in about the same place as lyin' George.... indicted, but not convicted.... yet..

 

Ahh, the arrogant scammer's hot air inflated ego is beginning to deflate.

'George Santos now says he isn't ruling out a plea deal after new felony' charges
Source: UK Independent

1 hour ago

'Embattled Congressman George Santos sounded far less optimistic about his future during an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Sunday.

The congressman, who faces nearly two dozen felony charges, has pleaded not guilty to all of the counts against him. Those counts grew to 23 in total on 10 October, when a superseding indictment was filed against him by the Department of Justice. In his latest indictment, he is accused of stealing identities and making false charges on his own donors’ credit cards. In doing so, he falsely inflated the wealth of his 2022 congressional campaign.

But in past interviews and comments to reporters in the halls of Capitol Hill, the New York Republican has remained defiant and condemned calls for his resignation or ouster as his critics supposedly serving as “judge, jury and executioner”. There was little display of that brashness during his interview with CNN, though he repeated his claim that he would not resign. He did not rule out the possibility of taking a plea deal were it to be offered by the Department of Justice.

“I’m not saying I’m not ruling out ... as of right now, it’s not on the table,” he said. “I’m not exploring any of that right now. Those conversations are yet to be had … right now I’m pretty focused on my defence.” Mr Santos told CNN that he had made “mistakes” in the course of managing his campaign’s finances, while denying that he had made any deliberately false statements. He denied knowingly inflating the wealth of his campaign, and claimed that he had little oversight or knowledge of his campaign’s Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.'
