In custody! Outrageous, he clearly is no Trump, I mean what this guy did is nothing compared to what Trump did, small potatoes and Donald is running around loose. Equality under the law for George! 
I mean if they can lock him up for breaking the law, they can lock up anybody!

George Santos in federal custody as feds unseal 13-count indictment
18,185 views May 10, 2023 #CNN #News
The Justice Department unsealed federal charges against Rep. George Santos and the New York Republican is in custody. Santos, whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, has been 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.

no, he does not...you cannot force a sitting rep to quit, but if he is sentenced to two years or more, he isn't allowed to vote...
So until they actually sentence the serial lying psycho, he can still fucking vote from his jail cell...So pray that they get him to trial quick.

MosCarthy is satisfyingly eroding his brand. I still hope some Jan 6 sticks to him like napalm, and finishes him.

Ya want the magats and the conservatives at each other's throats and the gore on the floor ankle deep going into the 24 election. Donald railing about RINOs and the republican leadership selling out from his prison cell because they wouldn't die for him on the courthouse steps in a hail of gunfire. They will be "disloyal" and sell outs with any luck. Divide and conquer by sitting back and letting Trump finish them off turning the base against them. If he is indicted and on trial during primary season, he will put a blow torch on any republican running for office that does not back him to the hilt! We can hope and I figure that is how it might end up, if Trump is indicted and tried before the election. The trouble is, once they lock him up, nobody will hear a peep from him, except for Kevin's weekly visits to the big house.

By the looks of this, they stand a good chance of taking the district if they are developing a good candidate.

He knew what the fuck they were up to.
That should count as aiding and abetting, at the very least, which makes him a candidate for removal by the 14th amendment...it makes EVERY republican a candidate...I don't believe a single one of them didn't know there was some shady shit going on. maybe they didn't fill every member in, but you'd have to be fucking Tommy to not see what the fuck was up.

It does, but in their defense (weak as it is) He did tell New Yorkers everything they wanted to hear...and then some.
I think on an honest, level playing field, he would have been punted on the first play.

I don't know anything about New York's political scene but there seems to have been a fairly incompetent effort in '22. Or maybe NY's Democrats are seriously disliked by the voters. This piece seems to be saying Democrats lost because they ran against Trump and not on the issues or Santos. Democrats shouldn't just assume they have '24 in the bag.By the looks of this, they stand a good chance of taking the district if they are developing a good candidate.

The Democrat Who Lost to George Santos Says Everyone Just Missed the “Anna Delvey Candidate”
A bombshell New York Times report exposing Republican Congressman-elect Santos as a possible fraudster has prompted a reckoning in the Democratic party. But Santos’s opponent says the allegations are old news, and a New York party official thinks it all came down to normal political headwinds.
It’s hard to fully comprehend what went wrong for Democrats in this race. Zimmerman raised slightly more than Santos did. The Democrat did spend a total of $22,000 over three payments on Deep Dive Political Research, an opposition research firm, per FEC filings. (This organization did not respond to a Vanity Fair interview request.) Local news organizations did raise questions in their coverage of Santos. One column in The North Shore Leader noted the eye-popping increase in Santos’s net worth from less than $5,000 to more than $11 million over a period of two short years. The piece even quoted an anonymous Republican leader as saying, “Are we being played as extras in ‘The Talented Mr. Santos’?” And the DCCC’s research memo on Santos outlined many of the allegations made in the Times report. It noted the IRS’s lack of knowledge of the congressman-elect’s animal-rescue charity and raised questions about his financial status. The document does, however, list Santos’s educational and professional claims without question. The bulk of the 87-page research document leans into Santos’s ties to Trump and his antiabortion stance.
Zimmerman says his campaign “was unrelenting in getting people’s attention” but that, ultimately, “I think part of the problem, quite frankly, was everyone saw this as not a competitive seat. They didn’t see the Republican tidal wave coming in New York, and so they didn’t focus on the race.” Jacobs, too, echoed this sentiment. “Santos didn’t win the race based on his campaign or who he is,” he said. “Like many other Republicans, particularly on Long Island, [Santos] won because of the view that this was an issue-driven election and the issue this year was crime.” Indeed, a red wave did run through New York on November 8, where even Sean Patrick Maloney—the person tasked with steering Democrats to another majority—lost his own race.

While I think you’re right about broad Republican participation or at least permission, there will be a line below which prosecution becomes impractical or otherwise unlikely.
I’m thinking it’s possible that, with his (often self-generated) leadership role, SlOTH (small l) is found solidly above it. Since he had meetings with that man in the relevant timeframe, it could happen.
