    Feds Charge George Santos With Crimes

    This should prove interesting when they release why he was charged.

    Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican lawmaker whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

    Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New York’s eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal.

    The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned

    Big surprise, mccarthy is standing behind Santos.
    I'd be a little concerned if I were santos, usually when a snake is behind a toad it doesn't turn out well for the toad.

    Even the Post (a murdoch rag) wants the toad to be gone

    Where do these people come from?

    Santos pleaded not guilty and was released on $500,000 bail and immediately began to fundraise off his arrest.

    It seems that the house "leadership", mcCarthy, scalise, and stefanik are now being asked how they can stand up without a spin
