CNN ^ | 5/9/23 | Marales, Perry, Craig

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 but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.

I understand now why nothing has been done to the Bidens. The DOJ is too busy going after anyone connected to the GOP. We will be lucky to have anyone not under federal indictment by November 2024.

Biden Crime Syndicate is ten million times worse than anybody else.

DOJ gives Biden Crime Syndicate one ten millionth the attention others get.

Prior to the election, NYT and the Democrats knew that Santos had issues, that included issues that may be legal in nature both the NYT and Democrats withheld and buried all of it in order to embarrass the Republicans.

Santos DID tell lies….almost as much as Biden.

But Biden has many decades worth of lies.

Biden and his DoJ are this bold?

Hunter has made over $500 Million as a Crackhead - and he has a Protection racket.

I guess all the Republicans will be silent, again and always.

So “Senile” lied about the following: 1) his dead son Beau was not KIA in Afghanistan or Iraq; 2) the Bidens are NOT a Gold Star family; 3) Joe was not in law school on a merit scholarship, did not stand at the top of his graduating class; 4) his wife was at fault in her car accident and the other driver, a truck driver, was not “drunk”; 5) his family were not working class; 6) he stole lines from the Brit Neil Kinnock, word for word; (7) Biden was not a football star in college; (8) he has not had multiple conversations with a dead Amtrak steward; (9) he was not under attack during a visit to Afghanistan; (10) he was not “arrested” in South Africa when he went to visit Nelson Mandela in prison. When are you going to arrest “president” Biden for lying, FBI? When are you going to act on five year old allegations that he took bribes in return for policy changes while VP, FBI?

Santos is a fraud and I’m not going to spend any time defending him.

The problem is that the Dems have a massive infrastructure in New York and Washington to prosecute any conservative who steps out of line.

We have nothing to equal them. It’s been years. Why have Texas, Florida, or any other red state opened investigations into the Clintons or Bidens?

When are you all going to get with the program! Don’t you get it we are the modern day Jews and the Democrat party and the DOJFBI the swamp all of them including black robes and lawyers etc are the modern day Nazi Germany, Gestapos. I guarantee you if Biden wins the presidency again, which most likely he will, because of all the cheating.The way they have perfected the cheat from two years ago with so many actors involved, including voting machines especially dominion. They will incarcerated every conservative they can get their hands on. Why do you think they will hire 79,000 IRS armed agents? Believe me they already have gulag floor plans to house us. And the AI credit system is coming to light. Miss one payment and your butt goes to prison.

Santos has not lied on the issues. He campaigned for MAGA and he has supported MAGA since.
