“House Ethics Committee will not recommend any punishment for George #Santos in a public report it plans to release later this week after a monthslong investigation..
Instead, the panel will release its evidence and details of its work for members to review and make their own conclusion about whether Santos should be removed from Congress, Guest, a Mississippi Republican, said.”
On House floor, debate on expulsion resolution of Rep George #Santos
3 of his fellow NY GOPers are here & supporting measure. Santos is here too (in bright red sweater beneath his coat)
Rep Dan Goldman said Santos is here”bc of lies”
Rep Lawler (R-NY): “Based on the conviction of his (campaign) treasurer & admission of the fraud that was perpetrated on donors… that is more than sufficient evidence & info to expel Mr Santos”
Rep Santos reads remarks off papers on his podium. Calls his colleagues “reckless” for moving to expel him. “One can’t say they’re pro-constitution and act as judge, jury and executioner”
@GottaLaff just saying to whoever cares: a pet peeve of mine is politicians facing consequences prescribed by the constitution for political misconduct screaming that they are being denied a legal right to due process in CRIMINAL proceedings.
He's being fired. He's getting way more due process than most people do when getting fired. We tried to fire Trump.
If he's expelled and the people in his district want him back or disagree with Congress he should just run again.
“Samuel Miele, a fundraiser for embattled Rep. George #Santos (R-N.Y.), was indicted on allegations he had impersonated a top aide to a member of House leadership while soliciting donations for Santos’s campaign. Miele is charged with 4 counts of wire fraud & 1 count of aggravated identity theft.”
