Are federal and states prosecutors now setting a new moral and legal standard by criminalizing Santos’ lies?
If true, congratulations — it is long overdue.
Now can we please extend the long arm of the law to reach far beyond a bit player like Santos?
Why not reboot with the really big liars? Their lies far more undermined the integrity of our key agencies and indeed our national security.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list
Just a few of the liars discussed by the esteemed VDH:
Brennan, only when caught, admitted to both lies. But he faced zero consequences and, in fact, was soon rewarded with an on-air analyst job at MSNBC.
He (James Clapper) faced zero consequences for his perjury. And like Brennan, he marketed his anti-Trump phobias into a comfortable cable news gig.
Then we come to the former interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He is also currently working as a cable news commentator.
And so on. Truly a reason to start at the Top - rather than the bottom with (R)epublicans ...

When Biden prefaces his whoppers with “No joke!” or “This is the God’s honest truth!” and especially when he swears, “My word as a Biden!” then it is a fair bet that he is lying. And yes, VDH does go there!

Santos.... The Dems have their liars and we have ours, AOC grew up middle class in Westchester, but in her early politician days, presented herself as a working girl (bartender) from the Bronx.

There are never any consequences for ruling party lies in a dictatorship or banana republic or an oligarchy.
At least until the populace is fed up with the lies and the corruption. Then the consequence is death.
Nicolae Ceausescu comes to mind.

Politicians lie. The government lies. Salesmen lie. Lawyers lie. Madison Avenue lies. Wall Street lies. Big pharma lies. This should be taught in high school. Children are brought up thinking truth telling is the rule and lying is the exception, when the opposite is true.

One thing to remember, no matter who you vote for, you elect a politician.
The definition of a politician is "someone who's figured out how to buy you with your own money".
Politicians always make statements during a campaign that they know they can't deliver on.
If reporters find out after someone is elected that a candidate makes claims about themselves that are not true, shame on the reporters for being lazy and not doing their jobs.
If people elect someone that reporters publish lies about, or even if the reporters publish true facts about a candidate that show they have lied during the campaign, it's called democracy.Reporters don't get to pick the government.
Neither does the FBI, CIA or DOJ.
One might think the charges against Santos are an attempt to slim the margin in the house
If campaigns embellish, suppress, or lie on their resumes or in their ads, we've called that politics in the past.
Some people in this country want a one party state.
Sorry folks, you still have to convince the rest of thew country that your not full of shit.
Also, santo's past exploits stand him in good stead.

When Trump is back in the White House, I hope he hires a REAL AG that WILL go after anybody and everybody whether Democrat or Republican.
I have no idea WHO could fill that role. All attorneys these days seem corrupt. I can’t NAME one off hand that is prominent (in the news) that is not corrupt AND who is young enough to have the energy to go after the ocean of crooks in public life.
