George Santos has been mentioned several times here. The federal indictment against Santos has been unsealed ahead of his appearance in a federal court. Santos has been indicted on 13 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, as well as false statements made to the House of Representatives. As of this posting, George Santos is at the federal courthouse.
From Fox News:
A 13-count indictment was made public Wednesday in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging the congressman 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.
The indictment was returned Tuesday under seal by a federal grand jury sitting in Central Islip, New York. Santos was arrested Wednesday morning and will be arraigned in the afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arlene R. Lindsay at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York. He currently is being held at that federal courthouse.
“This indictment seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement. “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself. He used political contributions to line his pockets, unlawfully applied for unemployment benefits that should have gone to New Yorkers who had lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and lied to the House of Representatives. My Office and our law enforcement partners will continue to aggressively root out corruption and self-dealing from our community’s public institutions and hold public officials accountable to the constituents who elected them.”
Santos, who also goes by Anthony Devolder, unsuccessfully ran in 2020 to represent New York’s Third Congressional District but was victorious his second time around in 2022. He was sworn in on Jan. 7, 2023, a mere days after the New York Times exposed that Santos allegedly fabricated larges swathes of his resume, including that he had worked for two major Wall Street firms, graduated from Baruch College and had descended from a Holocaust survivor. The Times reported Santos was also facing pending fraud charges in his native Brazil.
In January, the local Nassau County GOP demanded Santos resign, namely taking issue with the freshman congressman lying over his Jewish ancestry, but he refused. And House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, hanging onto a narrow Republican majority, said Santos would be removed if a House Ethics probe revealed he violated campaign finance laws.

Haven’t seen a Democrat “gotten” for such yet.
Because any lying sack of shit they elect, they defend.
Another significant difference is that people expect socialist democrats to do such stuff, but expect better from republicans, being adults for the most part.
Former d’rat congress-critters Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Corrine Brown got bent over by the Kenyan’s DOJ for their shenanigans. That was just a decade ago. Don’t think that would happen now.
Well, remember, Jesse Sr. REALLY didn’t care for Obama and even made a hot-mic comment about cutting Obama’s nuts off in the run up to the 2008 primary. So it was probably more payback than anything else. Plus, I believe Jesse Jr. was also involved in the shenanigans regarding Obama’s Senate seat although he wasn’t indicted in that scandal. In Jackson Jr. corruption case, it wasn’t so much a matter of doing the right thing, but more a case of removing protection to teach someone a lesson. Notice how you haven’t heard much from Jesse Sr. recently?
It’s the Chicago way.
Because the Dems, freedom loving people don’t lie and cheat like the Republicans do – it’s that simple!
“…relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself.”
Hah, that’s literally all of them on both sides of the aisle. Apply this equally or shut up.
And for the record — George Santos is a totally worthless sack of shit (an insult to sacks of shit everywhere.)
I am 5JC and approve of this post.
Concur!

FBI, Tell me you waited to arrest Santos without telling me you waited to arrest Santos….
That committee won’t do sh!t about it, regardless of the findings.
There is absolutely ZERO accountability for corrupt politicians, and the rule of law will never apply to any of them.

During Wednesday’s press conference, Comer described all nine family members as related to President Joe Biden:
Have you heard about Beau Biden? He was killed in Iraq.

That’s what you said.
5JC,
Yep, heard of him.

Wow…the Delaware Guard must not have had many pipe hitters in any of our nation’s wars that they feel the need to name their HQ building after a deceased Major who served as a JAG officer in Iraq. 🤣
😉😎
Welp, it will set the precedent for naming military bases after politically connected REMF’s and FOBIT’s.
We’ve already got ships named for worthless politicians, why not?
Yanno… I can’t help but think maybe the guy’s glad he’s dead — considering what and WHO he left behind and what they’re doing with his name and memory.
Yeah, I’m hellbound… no need to reiterate.
Here is the maggot ridden carrion. It’s no Steele Dossier to be sure, therefore the FBI not need concern itself, in fact it is unimportant that they shouldn’t even investigate it. After all they don’t investigate stuff that isn’t verified.

And all of the rest of The UniParty Knogressional Klown Krew aren’t arrested……why?
Awesome news. Now do the rest of the American legislature.
The joys of a corporate duopoly on full display, spank someone publicly every once in a while to continue the illusion of choice sit back and enjoy the spoils while the lesser classes continue to tear each other to shreds over narratives exclusively created to divide them along economic, racial, and religious divides.
With public reading comprehension for over half our fellow Americans aged 18-74 at middle school level or below it’s fairly easy to keep the low information voter pre-occupied with envy over their neighbor rather than anger at their oppressive and overarching government.
One suspects with declining educational results the facade may be entertained for another generation or two before the peeling stucco reveals the true depth of depravity and falsehood accurately attributed to the corporate stooges elected from our two corrupt and wholly owned parties.
Let’s not forget that other demographic that is now in middle or high school that will be voting in a few years. Most of them can’t read above the third grade level and are incapable of doing basic arithmetic.
Sounds like he has all the right credentials, skill and CV for a place as NYC, LA, Detroit or even SF. Guys a shoe-in for governor of NY.
Santos was getting jeered at his press conference, and then he dared bring up the PINO crime family’s alleged payments of millions from foreign actors. The so-called reporters shouted over him. They didn’t like that.😁
And now this:
“Texas Soldier Convicted Of Killing Armed Protestor Sentenced tmTo 25 Years; Greg Abbott To Seek Pardon”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-soldier-convicted-killing-armed-protestor-sentenced-25-years-greg-abbott-seek-pardon
“Lawyers for Daniel Perry, 25, unsuccessfully argued in favor of a 10-year sentence for the killing of protestor Garrett Foster, 28, a U.S. Air Force Veteran.”
“Attornies cited Perry’s lack of previous criminal charges. They also claimed Perry suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from his time served in Afghanistan.”
“Criminal Courts Judge Clifford Brown rejected these requests and sentenced Perry to a full 25-year stint.”
Simply disgusting. I was involved in a murder case several years ago where a criminal scammer stabbed his roommate in the back 13 times while they were engaged in gay sex, so he could rob him. He was sentenced to eight years in a plea to voluntary manslaughter. When I talked to him in prison about interviewing him for the civil case that arose out of the murder (against the apartment complex for inadequate security), the killer tried to extort me for a bribe to give favorable testimony. When I told him that wasn’t going to happen, he told me he would be out before my case could get to trial, and he would testify for his victim’s mother (the plaintiff). In many jurisdictions, our judicial system is a cruel joke.
All the judges in Texas are elected by the voters. Which explains a lot.
I have to ask…how was an apartment complex liable for a murder occurring during consensual sexual activity?
Crimes are legal if your a DemoRat

FIFY.
Looks dead to me?
So are some of her voters.
So long she can vote the fascist way they’ll keep her in office.
Has been for a long time.

Feinstein or Schumer?
I wonder what miracle concoction they have her on so she appears alive while simultaneously appearing dead.
She looks well past her expiration date.
Voodoo, Weekend at Berman’s II. The plot is to find her ill gotten loot to pay California’s reparations with.

Dickless wonder, good riddance and good luck rotting in jail..
All over $1000.00, they want that seat back.
It’s good this POS is facing what he is facing. However, when is trump the imbecile gonna get his?
The plan is to get him a prison term right after he secures the Republican nomination but a few weeks before the election, that way the Republicans won’t have a chance. Unless Trump succeeds in moving it to a Federal Court in a less left wing area than New York State, say like North Korea. If that happens then drag it on till the election, with the media publishing “fact checked facts” from “unnamed sources” that “prove” that Trump burned down a convent full of nuns, every day on the front page. The FBI will need to open another investigation into “something” as well. After that it shouldn’t matter.
Weren’t you at the meeting?
