    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.

      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.

      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.

        He's on this forum, right?

        Maybe, once he's released from custody, he'll fill us in?

          I am not really charged for fraud or whatever. All of these are mere smokescreens so I can go into a double secret undercover mission to save millions of American lives from imminent danger. All these fake charges will be dropped as soon as my mission succeed. I know all of you, my supporters, love and care about me, so I just want to let you know the truth so you won’t worry too much. Wish me luck!

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

                I'd be skeptical of that. I think any plea would include jail time, and won't come for many months.

                      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.

                            Former campaign treasurer, pleads guilty

                            https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/nancy-marks-george-santos-former-campaign-treasurer-plead/story?id=103750377

                            Nancy Marks, the former treasurer for embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal conspiracy charge.

                            Marks allegedly filed the names of false donors to Santos' congressional campaign. Federal prosecutors said she did so to inflate the amount of campaign donations Santos appeared to have amassed so he could qualify for national party support.

                            The names of Marks' and Santos' family members were among those falsely reported to have lent his campaign $500,000, despite not having the financial means to do so, prosecutors said.

                            "These reports were created to artificially inflate his funds to meet a threshold," federal prosecutors said Marks told them.

                            Her attorney, Raymond Perini, said his client does not have a cooperation agreement with the government in place, but "if they subpoena her, she'll do the right thing."

                            "With today's guilty plea, Marks has admitted that she conspired with a congressional candidate to lie to the FEC and, by extension, the public about the financial state of the candidate's campaign for New York's Third Congressional District, falsely inflating the campaign's reported receipts with non-existent contributions and loans," United States Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement.

                            Marks is scheduled to be sentenced next April.

                              I am reminded of what the Illinois State Trooper told George about avoiding a ticket. “Don’t get my attention.”.

                              Santos stuck his nail head up and got hammered.

                                A new indictment filed Tuesday charged U.S. Rep. George Santos with stealing the identities of donors to his campaign and then using their credit cards to ring up tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges.

                                Prosecutors said some of that stolen money ended up in his own bank account.

                                The 23-count indictment replaces one filed earlier against the New York Republican charging him with embezzling money from his campaign and lying to Congress about his wealth, among other offenses.

                                The new charges include allegations that he charged more than $44,000 to his campaign over a period of months using cards belonging to contributors without their knowledge. In one case, he charged $12,000 to a contributor’s credit card and transferred the “vast majority” of that money into his personal bank account, prosecutors said.

                                    D’Esposito said the resolution will be co-sponsored by fellow first-term GOP Reps. Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Nick Langworthy and Brandon Williams, all from New York.

                                    Esposito and Langworthy are co-sponsors of my bill too.

                                      As he fights a growing list of federal fraud changes, Rep. George Santos (R-NY) vowed on Wednesday that he’d fight until “the bitter end”—but made clear he found the whole ordeal an annoyance. “It's frustrating to me that I have to sit here and now have to defend myself for things that I pay someone else to do,” Santos said while speaking to a gathering of reporters Wednesday. “‘The buck stops with me’ is an exaggerated term, especially when you’re a candidate ... I'm not an experienced politician,” he said. Santos insisted that “I did not create a fake campaign,” and that he was “pretty much denying every last bit of charges,” but ultimately equivocated on whether he improperly took COVID-19 relief money while making six-figures at an investment firm. “Even if I were to have taken two checks too many, let's make it very clear: Nobody in this country gets indicted for taking a check or two more than they are entitled to during unemployment period or in that case and completely extenuating circumstance of the pandemic,” he said.

                                        By the way, have there been any moves by Senate leadership to expel Menendez?

                                        There have been calls for his resignation, of course, but anything official in the offing?
