That's a bad look

Santos just made himself treasurer of his campaign.

That's going to clear everything right up.

i'm not sure he's permitted to do that

He'll just use a different name.

Apparently, ReichGuide does not have a list of Schiff lies. It was all fake news.

The Left thinks you have that backwards.

'Lock her up!'
'Hang Mike Pence!'

Derpy has never understood the difference between the court of public opinion, and the court of law.

Derpy has never understood the difference between the court of public opinion, and the court of law.

When the court of public opinion violates the law, it is wrong. If more people understood that fact of life, we wouldn't have numbskulls like you running around thinking you're geniuses.

 

[zipman]

i'm not sure he's permitted to do that

Apparently it is legal, just rare. He's just going to commit more crimes trying to get out of the old ones.

Did Caligula’s horse vote as Caligula wanted ?
Was Caligula’s horse as much of an ASS as some of these Trumplikan Politicians??

Representative George Santos’s campaign hired another treasurer after the New York Republican appointed himself to the post on Friday.

He’s the fifth treasurer Santos has named in five months, highlighting the turmoil surrounding his campaign since the federal investigation began. Boles didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Absolutely not, Derpy. It's opinion, not law. An opinion can't be wrong in the purest form.

Congress has the power to expel him. But as long as they are going to keep Democrat Adam Schiff, a known serial liar, as was proved by the Durham Report, they may not move to do so. I say expel them both.

Noted, but that only works if the majority leader has even a minimal respect for the integroty of the institution that he allegedly leads. McCarthy's moral cowardice is an insult to the House, to Congress as a whole, and to the Party he purports to lead. KeithD correctly said the GOP is firmly on the wrong side of the tracks, I would go further and suggest that inaction with respect to George Santos is a constant reminder of the deep moral corruption of the GOP from top to bottom.

after santos said he'd go back inside rather than reveal the names of those who bailed him out:

Judge: George Santos donors who bailed him out of jail must be revealed​

As reported by Adam Klasfeld of Law and Crime News, Magistrate Judge Anne Y. Shields granted a motion to unseal the names of the Santos donors who paid for his bond after he was indicted on campaign finance-related violations earlier this year.

Santos had previously said that he would rather go to jail than reveal the identities of his benefactors, and that declaration will now certainly be put to the test.

in the story i read yesterday, santos' lawyer wanted time to let the donors withdraw. It also mentioned they'd had 3 donors set up to make his bail but one failed to show at his court hearing, leaving them having to 'make other arrangements'.

what a shit show

 

[Bray123]

Republican donors hiding political donations? Say it isn't so!

A federal judge said on Tuesday that she plans to reveal the identities of the people who backed indicted Rep. George Santos' $500,000 bond, but she's offering the GOP lawmaker one more chance to appeal before she does it.

Bail 'donors' should be a matter of public record for all cases. No justification for secrecy here, ever.

So reads the intriguing summary of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert, who is presiding over a federal criminal case accusing Santos of fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds.

he encouraged a q-anon affiliated woman to run against AOC, and 'recommended' a company to help raise funds for her. The woman's suing the company for fraudulent dealings after the irregularities came to light. Oh, and she lost to AOC.

a) he never once told her it was his company, making it appeear if he was simply a middleman
b) the arrangement to keep 80% of whatever they raised on her behalf was compromised by inflated cost figures which had to be adjusted

"Under the terms of the company’s agreement with Ms. Forte, Red Strategies was entitled to keep 80 percent of whatever it raised on her behalf, according to campaign documents reviewed by The Times. But Red Strategies obscured its earnings through inflated expenditures to other vendors," said the report.

Then, Remauro noticed that campaign filings said WinRed, the platform through which most Republican candidates process donations, was charging them over $40,000 a quarter, more than half of what they were raising, in "credit card fees," even though WinRed's actual fee is supposed to be just 4 percent; after she questioned Red Strategies, the filings were amended to show most of the "credit card fees" were actually being paid directly to them.

This pattern of irregularities also occurred in Santos' own campaign; he raised about $800,000 through WinRed but reported paying $200,000 in fees, or roughly six times what it should have cost.

basically, he set her up to rob her.

This is exactly who the MAGA ‘pubs are… this guy! If you had values and standards, which ‘pubs used to have by the dozen, this joke would be gone. But… you got the slim lead and want to keep it… willing to let this guy and the Venmo kid do their thing.

Wow.
