Usually the FEC takes care of “campaign finance violations”.
Except when they don’t.

Once again, the GOP don't care about integrity as long as they have the votes they need.

This is rich.

All I can think of is how many current Congresspeople pay their sons and daughters millions in consulting fees, the ones who paid boyfriends for security and all of the back door stock deals that occur.

Our current president has lied as much as this guy on his resume...

This guy is a poster child for how far out of bounds our political system is.
He is also a poster child for political persecution.
Both are sick.

George Santos, the face of the republican party.

Oh?

I thought Trump was.

It's still the SAME OLD Bull # from the left.

And in other news the Fraudchurian Candidate is raking in the millions from Xi Jinping.

I admire Santos.

He has shown like no other how vile and corrupt politics actually is.

Looks he was charged with 13 crimes, including money laundering & fraud. Too funny.

I wonder how long it will take McCarthy to remove him from any committee assignments?

Is he assigned to any committees? That would be surprising as he is a proven liar.

a reply to: Gandalf77
What committees is he on?

He had been caught in lie after lie. Many of which were told to get elected. His own district wants him removed from office.

These are facts that exist outside of the judicial system. Once again, the GOP don't care about integrity as long as they have the votes they need.

But perfectly fine to have a Chinese spy mistress....If Santos is found guilty, which I assume he will be in the SDNY courts, he will have to deal with the consequences. It's just amusing that the SDNY has never brought any charges against any democrat politicians, wonder why?

But he's not a Democrat. No Democrats have done what he's done. The fact that you guys can't actually denounce him and can instead only deflect shows that your claims of "draining the swamp" and getting corruption out of politics are hollow.

You guys don't actually want integrity in politics. You want to arrest all Left Wing politicians so you can create an autocracy.

what do I want now?

Psh, too easy.

After Blago they fixed that.

No D will ever be charged with anything-EVER.

As expected, Santos pleads not guilty to all charges. Bail is set at $500,000. Santos will have to hand over his passport and any travel outside of Long Island, NYC, or DC will need to be coordinated beforehand with the court.

Can George Santos still VOTE in the Congress? As a legally innocent man, that's how Santos is most useful and beneficial to America at this point.

He had been placed on the Science, Space and Technology Committee and the Small Business Committee, but apparently he already stepped down back in January when all of this started heating up.

Lol
His press conference is hilarious.
He knows how to handle press.

I'm enjoying how liberals keep becoming more stressed-out over the Red Wave that they say didn't happen in Nov 2022!

The FEC is probably as corrupt as the politicians they're supposed to watch over. Santos probably forgot to pay someone off and they turned him in.

AOC's campaign funneled over $1M in donations to private companies and the FEC said it was just "improper disclosure".
