George Santos Charged
-
Have to say, am I the only one to wonder if it is rather
unusual that the DOJ moved so quickly? Think about it. Before
November, no one had heard of him and his history of difficulties with
the truth was not on anyone's radar, even when he lost the
election in his first time. And now, within a matter of 14 months they think they
really have a case against him."Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I doubt it has anything to do with motivation. You think the people investigating Trump are any less motivated?
I think it has to do with how difficult it is to execute the information collection. In this case it's all documents they subpoena from banks. Not a lot of sleuthing who the witnesses might be, figuring out whom to ask about what, new leads, etc.
Only non-witches get due process.

That's maybe the dumbest sentence ever written by a human mind.

Nah, I think Biden sold us out to China, with and without Hunter's help. Among other money-making opportunities for the Biden crime family. This is just another small fish for the MSM to go ape shit over, so the chattering classs and subsequently the mouth-breather voter class will have a shiny object to deflect attention.
Look, we all know the Justice Department has been politicized, weaponized and is highly capable of running psy-ops.

In an earlier thread I had mentioned he had an arrest warrant out in Brazil, all of this was inevitable. And honestly, even for a pathological liar, what a dumb move to run for public office and bring all this attention to your illegal ways.

He's on this forum, right?
Maybe, once he's released from custody, he'll fill us in?

An unverified rumor is that DOJ will drop charges if he resigns, opening the door for a special election.

That seat hasn't been GOP since 2012 - Peter King (1992-2012). Before that, 1981-1983.

Santos is a Republican.
The Dems can flip it in a special election. They certainly can flip it with a gubernatorial appointment, if that's the law in NY.

Santos co-sponsors unemployment fraud bill after being charged with that crime
GOP Rep. George Santos on Thursday voted for a bill he co-sponsored that would crack down on a crime he is accused of -- unemployment fraud.
The measure, the "Protecting Taxpayers and Victims of Unemployment Fraud Act," passed 230-200, would provide incentives to help states recover money lost to COVID unemployment fraud.
Under the bill, states would retain 25% of recovered fraudulent overpayments and the statute of limitations for federal criminal charges or civil enforcement actions related to unemployment insurance fraud would be extended from five to 10 years.
