New York Rep. George Santos was charged Tuesday with conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud.
Prosecutors filed a 23-count superseding indictment against the New York Republican in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Ok, and? Clearly we don’t care about this sort of thing anymore.
Lock him up!
I’m looking forward to the Republican response to condemn a corrupt one of their own.
Waiting . . .
Still waiting . . .
clearly, he’s not Trump. getting charged so soon
Well he had a nice 15 minutes of fame before he faced years in prison. If this was a republican career speedrun, dude just beat the world record by several minutes
>***new counts*** have been added to the charges in the original indictment against him
* Seven counts of wire fraud
* Three counts of money laundering
* One count of theft of public funds
* Two counts of making materially false statements to the United
* States House of Representatives
They can take him down in moments-but the orange, old, trust-fund/nepo baby- grifter has taken over five decades. Make it make sense.
Good, fucking criminal
How could they do this to the first Olympic Gold Medal wining pole vaulter and Grammy winning neurosurgeon?
Forefathers expecting people of integrity in public office.
Republicans: This is the best we can do.
Identity theft huh? Gross.
From the New York Times
> Federal prosecutors on Tuesday filed a significant array of new charges against Representative George Santos of New York, accusing him of new criminal schemes, including stealing the identities and credit cards of donors to his campaign.
His election campaign was grift the whole way thru. I bet he was shocked he was **actually** elected.
That took way too long.
‘Bout fucking time 🙄
They are literally relying on this person for their slim majority and won’t ask him to resign or expel him despite this egregious behavior. What an embarrassment.
Moral of the story: don’t fuck with donors
Given his accomplishment as the first human to step foot on Mars, I think we can overlook all this.
Is he under arrest without bail? He’s a flight risk.
George Santos, the five time gold medal winner in the shot put, javelin and high jump?
How dare they do this to the Herald of Galactus?!? If Santos is imprisoned, who will find planets to sustain the hunger of the Ravager of Worlds?!?
2023 Couple of the year: Republicans and felonies
The timing of this indictment is really suspicious. Obviously someone in the Biden crime family’s DOJ doesn’t want this great man to be Speaker of the House.
God, I wish there was a college for white crime in America. I could make a fortune and never worry about a day in prison.
Took them long enough
I’m glad his mother isn’t alive to see this.
Why is the US congress looking more and more like the mafia?

Menedez gets caught. Dems scream “GTFO”. Santos caught *again*…Republican crickets.
But let’s talk some more about that fire alarm.
Fraud is a prerequisite for the job.
The Talentless Mr. Ripley.
Welp, time for prison.
Now with 50% more conspiracy
Soon to be president….
