"SNIP.......

“Anne Donnelly, the Republican district attorney for Nassau County, has opened an investigation into GOP Congressman-elect George Santos after he admitted to lying about his work experience and educational background,” Newsday reports.

......SNIP"

1. Most likely a probe into finances.

[patphil]

3. He solicited campaign contributions based on false statements about himself and his campaign.

All the money he collected constituted election fraud.

6. No, that is not election fraud.

When people give contributions they can be giving for any reason in the world or no particular reason. There is no law covering that.

10. You mean I can tell people I have cancer and get them to give me money and it is legal?

[former9thward]

11. Please don't mix apples and oranges.

The law has always had a different standard for elections and politics. Politicians have been inflating resumes since the beginning of politics.

[Justice matters.]

12. Yeah but most of them (if not all) don't 'admit' they inflated their resumes

'after' they succesfully defrauded their voters...

[Demovictory9]

14. He set up a gofundme for a pet charity..fraud if no pet charity existed

[former9thward]

15. Yes, given his lying I imagine there may be many things to look at.

But contributions for his campaign based on inflated resumes or outright lying will not be one of them.

2. The Front Man's Front Man

He got Stealth Charisma

5. Look at this from The Leader

Lying on federal financial disclosures is a federal criminal felony, with each violation facing up to five (5) years in federal prison.

7. Santos committed aggravated voter fraud...that should be an actual crime for political office.

[Lovie777]

8. All I've to say .....

that woke shit will bite them. Blaming others for what (GQP) are doing surely is catching up.

Grooming, Santos is proof within the GQP.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. And my new R rep isn't ecactly a Santos fan either.

[CatWoman]

13. like a snowball rolling down a hill

16. Santos needs to resign

But he won't as he has no sense of shame.

[Efilroft Sul]

17. The only thing that's true about Santos is that he's a Republican.

[ffr]

19. 😅

[ffr]

18. Santos. Just another grifter like Donald and Anna de Rothschild

that the GOP rubes just cannot get enough of. The whole GOP is a complete laughing stock of grifters and con men. The perfect phony to defraud stupid GOP voters. They get what they deserve!
