BREAKING: Santos expected to plead not guilty, sources tell ABC News

[Miguelito Loveless]

1. So, the lies will continue

At least he is consistent.

[mobeau69]

2. Bahahahaha!

Either way will work.

[marble falls]

3. I hope he does! I want to hear all the details and see his face just as he realizes he's ...

... going to the big house.

4. train wreck

[PortTack]

5. Ha! If he were as smart as he says he is, he'd know they'd not brought charges if they didn't have

the receipts.

6. Do they accept personal checks for paying bail?

[Zambero]

7. An innocent plea would only befuddle the prosecution

Best that Santos remains "in character".

[Quakerfriend]

8. I wonder who will be willing to defend him.

Scanning the inditement- I didn’t see anything about his complete falsification of donor’s names/addresses …

9. People almost always plead not guilty at arraignments, even the obviously guilty ones.

There's nothing strange about this. The arraignment is just a formality where the defendant is presented with the charges and conditions of release, if any, are determined. He pleads not guilty because technically he is, and because he wants a chance to talk to a lawyer, figure out his situation, find out if a plea deal is possible, etc. I wonder if Santos will hire any of TFG's retread lawyers to try to get him out of what looks like very deep shit...

10. He's got some solid defenses

Take the unemployment thing.

Since all of his other jobs were fake, maybe he really was unemployed.

[Ocelot II]

12. Good point!

[Effete Snob]

15. Tacopino's got nothing on me

[niyad]

11. Why is this considered "breaking"? Did anybody expect anything else?

[Effete Snob]

14. Water reported to be moist - developing

Then there will be the motion to dismiss - "Santos Asks Court To Throw Out Charges"

Every mundane procedural step is reported as if it was the first prosecution/lawsuit ever.

[Walleye]

13. Sure, no reason he should start being honest now

16. Here he is posing for his mug shot
