I’d say sleaze to the bottom but there is no bottom.

This is probably the only honest statement you’re going to hear from a Republican associated with this mess.

The Meidas Touch reported a link to a Russian oligarch. Seriously.

Criminals lie about such things as money laundering, drug dealing, and CVs to further their schemes.
Santos is as greasy as they come; everybody says so.
This is clearly a feature, not a bug, in the GQP.

This grifting doesn’t seem to end, and I guess fraud is much more likely in this case. This Santos guy, and his cadre of “international” snake oil peddlers, need to be crushed, like the slugs they are.
I just wanted to figure out something about the OB/GYN, Odette C. Daley, M.D. who is part of this picture. It appears that she is legit, however good or bad her patients rank her. She has moved offices a lot over her professional career, but is certified and licensed, so that is at least in her favor. I’m not recommending her, just providing her very brief medical C.V.:
University of South Florida Morsani
Residency, Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000-2004
Morehouse School of Medicine
Medical School
Certifications & Licensure
American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology
FL State Medical License
Active through 2024

Santos said he will answer questions next week and I understand Attorney General Tish James is looking into this matter. So, I will not be surprised to find out In the next few days that Santos is nowhere to be found.

It’s just a matter of time before all of these “operations” are based out of the Legitimate Businessman’s Social Club in Springfield, [Redacted].

If the Russians are involved he may end up “sleeping with the fishies”.

With russians it’s more “flying with the birdies”.

This story is a cluster. Everyone wants to blame the Democratic challenger, which is fair, but I think a lot of blame can be placed on the media and the Democratic party for ignoring the one media source that got it right. I think we should also look long and hard at the Republican party. Clearly the party is incompetent. This guy won’t last long, The Republican party will take the hit when he leaves and might lose a seat gerrymandered for them.
In short nobody should be let off the hook. The Democratic opponent, both parties, and the bulk of the media were all asleep at the wheel when this clown started this grift.

Turns out one of the local papers in the district, a paper that generally leans conservative, was all over him and endorsed Zimmerman.

“I prefer to come to the computer, hit a couple of buttons, and make anywhere from 4K to 20K a month in this space.”
What on earth do buttons have anything to do with this?

Color me impressed with this work. One thought kept coming to me that receipts for all sources are secured, read, and analyzed for actionable information. Good on you, Hunter Walker. TPM’s securing of your services produces windfall dividends.

I remembered the name Andrew Intrater, cousin of The Russian Oligarch Vekselberg, from the early Trump Campaign years. He was pretty tied in with Michael Cohen and TFG. I wonder what kind of info Michael Cohen might have about some of the other connections that Vekselberg might have in New York, and maybe even Florida… Worth a call to Mikey, seems to me…
This was a very informative report from MTN. Thanks!

Sorry, nothing beats the name of the company owned by Giuliani’s buddies Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman: “Fraud Guarantee.”
I propose the GOP rename the party: “Grifters All”

Hadn’t though of that. INS should give Dr. Daley a little jingle…

As soon as this tangled web is solved (in the fullness of time…) another fraud will pop up. I trust that the House of Representatives, under Qevin, wil be a veritable game of “Whack-a-Mole.”

In very much the same vein, it seems like he is facing the Trump conundrum, winning a race he wasn’t intending/expecting to win, and now facing all the scrutiny that would not otherwise have occurred if he had lost.
But because Santos and his “buddies” don’t have the public name of Trump or family millions to throw around, they are probably all going to be “going through some things” in short order from various Federal and State DoJ bodies.
