Congressman George Santos was indicted on thirteen counts of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and lying on financial disclosure forms during his short period in Congress. He was taken into custody Wednesday in New York [DETAILS].
By most accounts and even his own words, Santos is a generally sketchy person, and I doubt there will be too many defenders of his character or the issues at stake. However, all of that said, this Tweet from a staffer in his office is wild:
The casual nature of this is quite alarming. It was not that long ago when the EXECUTIVE branch, using confidential human sources to investigate the LEGISLATIVE branch, would have been a matter of incredible controversy reserved for only the most serious of criminal possibilities.
An FBI informant penetrating the congressional office to relay information back to the FBI is quite remarkable. However, it appears we are in an era of justice administration where anything is just flippantly asserted inside the mechanisms of government.
In the big picture, beyond the selfish issues of George Santos, when we consider the Fourth Branch of Government operating to protect itself against sunlight and scrutiny, this example of the FBI operating in the shadows of congress should start to make everyone uncomfortable. How can there be “checks” and balances, when the enforcement mechanisms can be deployed against any entity who threatens the system itself?
Extend this approach to legislative committee oversight, and you start to see how the system protects itself. A reminder below of what they are ultimately protecting.
Read this as many times as needed to contemplate the nature of our problem.

Sleazy as he is, he doesn't back down and he doesn't give up.
Too bad he hasn't channeled those attributes into worthy ventures.
Who is going to give him a job. He's a piece of cr**.
The KGBI has two jobs, hide crimes for the DNC and make up crimes for the RNC.

This is outrageous!
Joe Biden has been lying for years!
He said he was going to cure Cancer!
He also played poor to black audiences before Elections where he said all kids made no money working for non-profits - and when he was in the Senate he was the only one without stocks!
Lie after Life by Biden, continuing today!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Joe Biden said President Barack Obama offered to give him money to help with expenses while his son Beau was battling cancer.
In an interview broadcast on CNN on Monday, Biden said Obama made the offer during lunch after Biden told him he was considering selling his house to raise funds to help Beau, who died of brain cancer in May 2015 at age 46.
Biden is shit-filled.
Stasi.
No, I don’t support that creep Santos but I don’t support the sleaze by our government, either.

It’s a shame that the Republican who won it is a joker. I guess he could have served a nominal purpose as a placeholder but the system that is so lax about the Bidens, Clinton’s, etc. is pouncing on the amateur crook Santos.
I wonder, when you join the FBI do you get to choose what circle of Hell you inhabit?
When will Adam Schiff be Indicted? his entire campaign for re-election was based on a KNOWN LIE, Russia Russia Russia
