Campaign finance fraud is what will ultimately get him kicked out of Congress, because of the going to jail.

But then it'll turn out there is no George Santos, that it was several turkeys stacked in a trench coat all along.

I think George Santos is like the 3 kids in a trench coat in Bojack Horseman

Three kids in a trench coat would have come up with better lies.

Also, he's too short. He's two kids in a trench coat, tops.

I wonder what angle he’s working. I have a hard time believing he stepped away from assignments because he thought it was the right thing to do.  Maybe he’s about to leave the country? 😬

Whatever he came for, he may have got and now he's going to run before he can get pinched or lynched. :|

Prosecutors in Brazil have agreed to a deal with Rep. George Santos in a case in which he is accused of defrauding a Rio de Janeiro area clerk of $1,300 over clothes and shoes in 2008, documents obtained by CNN show.

A petition from Santos’ attorney requesting a deal says Santos would agree to formally confess to the crime and pay damages to the victim, a Rio de Janeiro area clerk, as is required under Brazilian law.

A memo from prosecutors agreeing to the deal last week asked the defense for assurances they have the ability to contact the victim to repay him before the deal is finalized.

In a statement to CNN, the prosecutors’ office acknowledged the memo but stressed that the deal is not final until all conditions are met.

The petition from Santos’ attorney, filed in January, requests a non-prosecutorial agreement in lieu of a trial for his client, arguing that Santos is now gainfully employed and “re-socialized.” The petition also requested permission for Santos to be contacted by the court via email or phone, and participate in the proceedings via videoconference.

Agreements can be reached in non-violent cases where the sentencing minimum is under four years.

Santos did not comment when asked about this reporting on Capitol Hill by CNN’s Manu Raju. CNN has reached out to attorneys for Santos in Brazil and the United States.

In 2010, Santos told police he wrote bad checks from a stolen checkbook belonging to an elderly man his mother cared for to purchase the items.

Santos told the New York Post in December he had not been charged with any crime in Brazil. “I am not a criminal here – not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world. Absolutely not. That didn’t happen,” he said at the time.

After Santos left for the United States, Brazilian authorities could not find an address to serve him papers intimating him to appear in court, which eventually led to the archiving of the case, until it was reopened in January.

Prosecutors could not comment further, as the case is under a gag order.

For a party supposedly tough on crime, they sure do put a lot of criminals in office. Some regular shmuck sitting in jail over some non violent felony won’t be able to get gainful employment anywhere but the ones with cash can run for, and win elected office.

Exclusive: Rep. George Santos charged by Justice Department in federal probe

Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican lawmaker whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New York’s eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal.

The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.

I cannot believe that EGOT winner George Santos would stoop this low.

“And while he's seen every Lord of the Rings movie, he said the Hobbit prequels are better as they "give you more depth" and that The Battle of the Five Armies is ‘my favorite fucking movie.’"

THROW THIS FUCKER IN JAIL

Santos claims to have evidence that he was unemployed when he collected unemployment. I’m sure he has absolutely no defense for any of this.  The Republicans won’t demand he step down because that eats into their thin majority.  I’m don’t even think he’ll go to jail either. He will probably take some sort of deal where he won’t run for re-election in exchange for not going to prison.
