First.
I’m hoping for some wire fraud, mail fraud, fraud of all types, as this is Santos’ MO.
Also, thrown in some campaign finance violations.
For everyone, a kitten group photo.

Great news. I wonder who is going to stand by Santos? Will the GOP stick their necks out for him? Inquiring minds want to know.

Are the chickens finally coming home to roost? God I hope so. Have my fingers and toes crossed, but want to see the charges. Maybe when he starts to plea bargain he will decide to resign and give McCarthy an even slimmer margin.

So, I’m betting on bank wire fraud for walking off with the money raised for that homeless vet’s sick dog (statute of limitations is doubled to 10 years for bank fraud), and either taking foreigner campaign donations via a straw man donor (who could be himself), or attempting to launder campaign donations into his own pocket by misrepresenting them as a personal loan from him. Though on the campaign stuff it could be both.

Representative are replaced by special elections, senators get appointed. I believe this is true in all 50 states.
