The lesson to be learned here is you have to wait until you're elected to do your money laundering, fraud and theft.

“Blumenthal called Thomas’ failure to disclose gifts ‘potentially criminal’ and said the Justice Department should investigate as well.”

Santos is a lying slimeball However the indictment isn’t about lying to get elected.

Charges include unemployment fraud.

Campaign finance fraud.

Etc etc.

No one’s should be defending this POS, regardless of the letter beside his name.

The very first word is party affiliation. This way you know for sure he’s not a democrat. If it was a democrat it would be implied that he was a republican because they would say Rep. The way you find out it is a democrat is by running the name through a web search engine.

I suppose we should also check Biden's tax returns.

The timing was obviously intended to deflect from Comers bombshells. CBS radio just now did a ‘special report’ at 10:30 eastern time all about Santos ( one hour after Comer) in place of regular news headlines. No mention of Comer/Bidens.

Debra Rodriguez, CBS radio news who pulls this crap all the time is a shill and fraud. FU

When are we going to see equal justice under the law and democrats getting the same treatment?

I won’t be holding my breath.

Should have been done during the primary.

Except we knew with specificity months ago that Santos contributed money to his campaign fund that he clearly didn’t have.

For Biden, we need to wait on what Comer reveals. A general notion of corruption won’t fly. We don’t need another Dueham fizzle.

And therein lies the crime for which he can NEVER be forgiven.

He showed the GOP to be the corrupt organization it truly is.

Which describes most every congressman in the swamp

I thought I read that he turned himself in.

He might have been smart to wait an hour.
