Conspiracy (tinfoil hat) time re: this Santos guy.

[grumpyduck]

We're finding out that most of what he's said is lies, and then we find out that he got money from the cousin of a Russian oligarch. On top of which, the repukes have been curiously silent about him. Except for Margie, who was all for him.

Kinda makes you wonder... is it time for a tinfoil hat? Or is he just a first-class dumbass?

OTOH, I would think that the Russians would be a bit more careful about their sleeper agents.

1. I want to see his citizenship papers.

To hold that office he must have been a citizen for seven years.

2. Why would the Russians be more careful? It is a winning formula.

Loud mouthed buffoon, makes the US look foolish, sociopath, easy to manipulate, conspiracy nut.
Bought and paid for, spouts Russian talking points. Creates division and chaos.

Look how many the Russians have already installed at the highest levels.

3. Got my hat on, and it's not tinfoil.

Whatever you think about Santos, he is all that...

and much more.

4. You're not the only one...

May be a much bigger story than just another bullshitting Republican.

5. I suspect in the end he's just a garden variety criminal. He probably laundered some rubles along

the way, too. Probably because his lord and savior the great orange one did it.

6. " first-class dumbass? " I vote for this one.. He is a tool being used by who ever... or...

He is a deep state plant from Dark Brandon....with a custom tin foil hat...

7. Russian oligargy is distracted b the Ukrainian boot on their neck.....,..

The are not 'doing so good' at hiding their assets.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Hard to say until he starts acting in Congress, but he could be another "useful idiot"...

for the Russkies, TBS. RW acolytes seem to be routinely fooled by fake facebook IDs, anyway.

9. Who vetted this guy?

As someone stated on a thread here yesterday " I want to see his long form birth certificate."

[questionseverything]

11. Obviously no one vetted him

[ancianita]

10. I got two words for bag man Santos and the rest of House Republicans: Danny Goldman.

The Southern District of New York is "in the House."
