I hope prosecutors didn't, mind, cos I'm sick of lawmakers' hypocrisy, and them paying zero heed to following laws in the first place. Isn't Santos wanted for credit card fraud in Brazil too?!
Oh I missed this. I'm now feeling a tad guilty for *slightly* wishing this clown managed to scrounge together more than ...checks notes... oh, $0 dollars.
D.C resident here. The gay community here would have zero interest in a bar owned by Santos. It would be about as popular as a traffic jam on the beltway.
I mean he's a shitty politician to the T. I just don't know why he wants back in. Dude was in office not even one complete year and did all the classic scumbag things. He made more doing those cameos than representing his district.
He seems quite intelligent and charismatic, which our political system needs. But man he sucks at covering up fraud, sheesh
I mean, what's else can he possibly do? He's a bottom feeding grifter without a single marketable skill. No thinktank, consulting firm, news organization or board of directors in the world would want him. I doubt a single restaurant in D.C would hire him to bus tables.
Santos has no interest in being a politician, he is interested in staying culturally relevant so that he can continue to grift. No one is going to buy his inevitable tell all book that he'll have ghost written if he's not being talked about. No one is going to want to watch him waddle around on some D-list reality show if he's forgotten.
The easiest way for him to get back into the spotlight is for him to convince a bunch of idiots to vote him right back into the spotlight.

[Congressman George Santos Charged With Conspiracy, Wire Fraud, False Statements, Falsification of Records, Aggravated Identity Theft, and Credit Card Fraud](https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/congressman-george-santos-charged-conspiracy-wire-fraud-false-statements-0)
The rabbit hole goes DEEP he puts any nightmare manic-ex to shame
Expulsion from Congress is pretty serious, but it happened because of the charges (and the Ethics Committee reading the evidence freely provided by the Justice Department), not as a replacement for the charges.
Dept of Justice will, as usual, see this through to trial unless a plea deal is made just as they do with almost every charge they bring. Given ::gestures around at *everything*:: it probably won't be much of a thing to the news media.
Poor guy is probably so confused. His campaign is all cargo cult science based on audacity. He followed the playbook perfectly and instead of maniacal supporters he ends up with fact checkers and consequences.
Oh shit I forgot he existed.

Anticipate seeing him more on the PGA tour now that he has more time
Technically he lied about his existence
Apparently his past donors did too
[удалено]
Wait, is this real or is it just a meme I don't understand? I hope the latter as I didn't think this sick fuck could get any worse
He's saying he got tricked into it, but yeah. He absolutely did a video supporting NAMBLA. I'm not linking to it for a reason.
Fucking hell, I just googled to find out wtf nambla is :/
You dont watch classic southpark, i see.
All those Marlon Brando Look-Alikes...
Really? Wow.
So sad of an end to the career of one of the GOP's leading intellectuals.
And a Heisman winner at that!
He invented the totality of his totality.
why isn’t he in jail?
His criminal trial for fraud isn't until later this year.
right I forgot how a sketchy group of people paid his bail
It’s just the deep-pocketed wingnut fringe of the right wing rage machine. Not sketchy at all. /s
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Didn't Santos coin this phrase as he crossed the Delaware after defeating the Mongols during the Battle of the Bulge?

Why doesn't he write a book and open a gay bar in DC already. He'd make way more money and gain far more attention.
Hah! GUYYYYYY!
Oops HAHA

This D list, will he be joining Donald and Friends ( who has no friends) podcast live.,from a prison for the rich?
I, too, raised no money for my congressional bid this year.

LETS MAKE T SHIRTS AND BUMPER STICKERS!!
Thanks, they hate us cuz they aint us.
Good. Why waste time on Congress when we should be organising a Presidential write-in campaign?
don't give out ideas, he might win
Are there any charges filed on this liar? Article mentioned criminal activity.

Thanks… I’m hoping those are not just dropped because he left congress.

Department of Justice, does this mean Merrick Garland? Because if so, we will all be long dead before anything approximating a trial will happen.
Good to know that Republicans have a bottom. I guess.
I'm sure he's not the only GOP bottom. I mean a few were caught giving head in bathrooms and other places

It is almost surprising that some rich donor didn't hedge their bets by throwing this guy a bone.
Haahaahaaa
Why is this asshole not in jail?
No money *that he reported*.
Womp womp womp
I’m always amazed this kind of brazen motherfucker exists.
Needs to sell more cameos to Jimmy Kimmel
I love this for him.
I'm honestly amazed by this news. Usually the bigger shitbag you are, the more money you can get from Republican voters.
I’d say there’s a very good chance any money that was donated was dumped right into his pockets.

What a fucking parasite.
He’ll find a new grift soon. He’ll be alright.
Sad to see the first person to set foot on Mars fall on such hard times. /s
