🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: George Santos goes NUCLEAR and says he will release evidence of wrongdoing by a list of REPUBLICAN members of Congress who may have broken the law.
Here are his full accusations. 🍿
According to Santos, on Monday hell file an official complaint with the Office of congressional Ethics against Malliotakis regarding her questionable stock trading since joining the Ways and Means committee this Congress.
Santos said he will file an Ethics complaint against Republican Rep. Mike Lawler for questionable campaign finance violations.
Santos says Congressman Lawler owns portion of Checkmate Strategies and he uses the same firm that he is a beneficiary of to pay for services related to his campaign.
Is Mr Lawler engaging in laundering money from his campaign to his firm then to his own pocket? Santos asked.
Finally, Santos says his third ethics report will concern Republican Rep. Nick LaLotta
who he accused of attending school while he was on the clock at a government job.
Did Rep Lalota no-show to his tax pay funded job while going to school and if so he can potential have stolen public funds from the tax payers of NY? Santos asked.
If history has shown us anything, hell hath no fury like a lying conman scorned.
What are your thoughts about Santos spilling tea about his former colleagues?
🚨🚨🚨UPDATE: Santos tweeted this to New York Republican Nicole Maliotakis:
@NMalliotakis
the difference between you and I is that I dont live in denial, Im a PROUD GAY man and Im not afraid to say it. 😉
What did he mean by that? 🤔

Less than 24 hours later, the bank announced that they were buying out Signature Bank.
It shot the stock up 40% that day.

Fertilize hate, empower foreign intelligence agencies to provoke and arm deplorable narcissists, and here we are.
If only the gray lady and the post et al would actually temper their zealous pursuit of the clicks and do some fair-minded reporting (and headlining).

I just can't bring myself to get very excited about this. Santos is such a big fat liar that he might just make stuff up, and how would we even know?
That said, I will be watching to see what happens. If he actually has receipts, things might get interesting. We'll see!

DFW
(60,186 posts)I would be rubbing my hands with glee.
As it is, as a non-member of Congress, no ethics committee will pay the slightest bit of attention to anything he has to say. If he cant produce solid evidence of his accusations, the press wont be listening much longer, either.
I would like nothing more than for « Santos » to take down a few sitting Republicans for wrongdoing, but if he has no proof of what he is saying, then no one will listen to him, of all people, even if every accusation is true. If he stands near an open tenth story window, and no one pushes him out, then well know for certain that no one is taking anything he says seriously, and no one, innocent or guilty, has anything to fear from anything coming out of his mouth.

(31,155 posts)DET
(2,499 posts)I hate to say it, but MAGAts dont care if someone is reported to the Ethics Committee for money laundering or insider trading or some other financial indiscretion that they have no understanding of. They know Congress is corrupt - they just dont care. And even if they did care, they dont have the intellectual wattage or interest to understand the issue at hand. Their fellow Republican congressman dont care because the MAGAts dont care - and they know nothing will happen anyway. Look at what it took to get Santos out.
What might get some traction is salacious revelations of a personal nature in a public forum. Like the recent kerfufle with the cofounder of Moms for Liberty and her disgusting frat boy husband - the Florida GOP chair. Now thats some serious dirt. That could bring down the whole Moms for Liberty operation, which would be a public service. Plus it would/will? ensnare a state GOP chair (who will be replaced by someone equally loathsome). If George can reveal that kind of insider information, he might serve some purpose after all.

I hope Santos or whatever his real name is steals every last one of their identities. Play with snakes and you'll get bit.
Can't wait to hear the tea but who knows if any of it will be true or not. He has quite the imagination but by all means proceed.

Maliotakis is a dumbass. Curious if it can be proven she had inside information on NYCommunity Bank. Flagstaff, which is a subsidiary, took over all operations of Signature.
