'Santos says he expects to receive maximum sentence: ‘I’m totally resigned’​

"Santos, a controversial figure, said he fears for his safety and plans to make an application to serve his sentence in protective custody.

“Number one is, I plan to serve the entirety of any [incarcerated] sentence in solitary confinement because I fear for my safety,” Santos told Gaetz. “So it is definitely not an easy task, and it’s a monumental one to do.”

I'm curious how many of the inmates where he'll be housed even know who the guy is?
Poor baby is scared shirtless and wants protective custody.

Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, appealed for mercy. In a federal court a short drive from his old congressional district, he said through tears that he was "humbled" and "chastised" and realized he had betrayed his constituents' trust.

“I offer my deepest apologies,” he said, adding: “I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.”

U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert evidently wasn't convinced.

“Where is your remorse? Where do I see it?” she asked as she sentenced him to 87 months behind bars. “It’s always someone else’s fault.”

Guess he won’t be able to make money from Cameo appearances. He won’t be relevant upon release.

And may be successful. Trump just pardoned Michele Fiore who was convicted on six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She spent the money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer.

Well it worked for Michele Fiore...

Edit -- sorry, missed this posted upthread.

Seems like the key element for success in eliciting a pardon is a long, energetic history of grift and some combination of donations + social media genuflection + histrionic claims of "political witchhunts" etc, however dubiously founded, with obvious guilt not a consideration.

Santos certainly ticks those boxes with aplomb.

Who is Michele Fiore, and what did President Trump pardon her for?

Michele Fiore, convicted of wire fraud in a charity scheme, has been pardoned by Trump, according to a federal court filing in Las Vegas.
