One day you're cruising in your 7, next day you're sweating, forgetting your lies
Alibis ain't matching up, bullshyt catching up
Hit with the RICO, they repo your vehicle
Everything was all good just a week ago"

Could have sworn I saw that AOC was on Bluesky already so that head of state rule must have quickly been bushed.

charged on a 13-count indictment, including 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.

All of these charges can also apply to Trump…didn’t know you can be charged for lying to congress🤣

That law is stupid b/c is not applied across the board.

George Santos Arrested on Wire Fraud, Money Laundering Charges​

Congress’ most prolific liar was taken into custody Wednesday morning

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 04:  U.S. Rep.

REP. GEORGE SANTOS (R-N.Y.) may think his lies don’t matter to voters. The Department of Justice thinks feels otherwise. The Long Island congressman was arrested on Wednesday morning and charged with 13 criminal counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, and lying to Congress.

The 20-page indictment, unsealed Wednesday morning, lays out 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 Congress.

Santos turned himself in in Melville, on Long Island, before being transported to the courthouse in Central Islip. He is expected to appear in federal court in the Eastern District of New York later on Wednesday, with a hearing on the case scheduled to take place on Thursday. It’s unclear whether he will offer a plea this week or at a later date.



The charges stem from a scheme in which Santos and an unidentified man allegedly solicited political donations, only for Santos to use them for personal expenses including luxury goods; a scheme in which Santos allegedly applied for Covid-19 assistance in New York even though he was employed and making six figures in Florida; and from allegedly lying to Congress about his financial status in 2020 and 2022.

CNN was the first to report on Tuesday that Santos would be charged federally.

The federal charges only cover a fraction of Santos’ problematic conduct. Alongside the many fabrications Santos has made about his personal life and career, multiple people have alleged that Santos’ prolific scamming included credit card fraud, donation theft, and potential campaign finance violations.

In December of last year, federal investigators in the Eastern District of New York indicated they had initiated an investigation centered around Santos’ campaign finances. “The numerous fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Congressman-Elect Santos are nothing short of stunning,” Long Island’s Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, a Republican, said at the time.

I don't feel sorry for the GOP as well, but, it's comically tragic in a way that the GOP, who are looking for people of Color, LGBTQ+, Etc. as a platform to try and convince people the aren't evil... are complete fukk ups as well.

At first it was like, "A GAY REPUBLICAN WON IN NEW YORK!? This might our mealticket to getting the Gays!" and then immediately Santos' history left a massive paper trail where its leaving them confused, probably saying something like, "Even when we find a Gay man, this guy is problematic for us!"

McCarthy is no surprise as well keeping Santos in his seat, but his life is a living hell right now with this... and the debt ceiling.
