What a truly repugnant Republican.

In May 2023, a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York indicted Santos on 13 criminal charges: 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. Prosecutors accused Santos of "three distinct schemes": fraudulent solicitation of political contributions, unemployment benefits fraud, and making false statements on the financial disclosure reports he submitted to the House of Representatives.

On August 19, 2024, Santos pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He also admitted to committing the other crimes with which he was charged in the superseding indictment. "I accept full responsibility for my actions", he told the judge. "I allowed my ambition to cloud my judgment, leading me to make decisions that were unethical and... guilty."

Yes, but people say all sorts of things in the heat of the moment, Greggery. I think you'll find George takes this statement back.

I think you'll find he was completely INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES AND HAS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR!

Look, let's move on, okay? The only people who should be apologizing here are the left, who drummed up such a ridiculous case against this honourable young man, who always had the courage to vote Republican.

I trust this puts the matter to rest.

Oh, I think he'll miss the place.

Like Ghislaine. He wishes her well, Greggery. The big fella's got her federal work farm turned into a luxury resort for elite child sex traffickers.

Handing that naughty birthday letter by DL over to the WSJ was a smart move, no? Can't wait to see it go to court. What's DL going to do - threaten to cancel Fox News?

Come come. George's friends clearly have their own dirt on DL. He wouldn't lift a finger to bail out a guy who always had the courage to vote Republican otherwise.

Besides, George would be a Democrat if there was a buck to be made.

I must say, it'll be a joy to see George parachuted into one of the GOP's newly redistricted seats, forced to sell himself as a gun-toting, red-blooded Alpha. My guess is he plays to the rust belt, finding a new respect for all those marginalized white voters who've done time in the joint.

Unlike George, of course, they don't currently get the right to vote. Still, I'm sure that if the GOP can have a guy like George pardoned, they can find it in their hearts to restrict the vote to black crims only.

They're most principalled that way, no?

Exactly.

Hopefully they'll eventually be charged with breaking state laws.

I am surprised Patel is still there. His incompetence knows no bounds and his facial expressions at hearings make him look like he realises he's utterly out of his depth, which he honestly is.
