NY - Congressman George Santos charged with 13 criminal counts, May 2023

He's a con artist facing legal troubles for his cons. As long as he's no longer making a fool of the USA by holding a seat in Congress, I no longer give a rip about his court case. But, I hope nobody - whether it's someone in court or anyone in the public - ever makes a deal with him. He's a crook and cannot be trusted. Good riddance.

I hope jail time is involved-
 
He is at least finally making an honest living now on Cameo. He's selling his videos for $500 each and people are buying.

I saw before that Sarah Palin was making $200,000 a year on Cameo.

It's a crazy world. moo
 
A bit long - I shall shorten it up!

This NY Times article, dated 21st Dec, says that last week his lawyer told the judge he has been in negotiations with prosecutors about paths they might take to conclude the case without going to trial.

It also says that Santos is next due in court on 23rd January.

Santos also hired 2 new lawyers.
Has the thrill worn off for his $500.00 Cameos?
How the hell is he paying for his legal defense?
What a guy, thinks he's entitled to a plea deal with no jail time.

"Prosecutors said there was no need for another status conference until just before the start of trial so there is time "for the parties to pursue plea negotiations."

 

Jan. 23, 2024
Central Islip, New York CNN — Disgraced former Rep. George Santos appeared in federal court on Tuesday for a status conference ahead of a possible trial later this year.

Santos is facing 23 charges alleging he stole donors’ identities and ran up thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges on their credit cards, among other offenses. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The next court proceeding is scheduled for August 13. A trial is expected in September.
 
Will Santo's suit follow Roy Moores and get thrown into the ash heap?


"Moore, who served twice in his role on the Alabama Supreme Court and was twice removed from the position, sued Baron Cohen after Moore was interviewed under the pretense that he would receive an award for his support of Israel. Baron Cohen pretended to be an Israeli anti-terrorism expert and claimed he had technology that would show whether Moore was a pedophile — a reference to sexual misconduct allegations against Moore — for the series “Who Is America?”

Rep. Ritchie Torres is introducing a new rule — the GEORGE (Getting Expelled Officially Revokes Guaranteed Entry) Rule — that would revoke House floor privileges for expelled members of the House of Representatives. Comes after Santos was on the floor for #SOTU yday
