Republican Liar George Santos Indicted and Arrested: Breaking Down the Federal Charges

LawMay 2023 • Views: 17,051

The Republican Party was just fine with this criminal, so it was up to the Department of Justice to take action.

Sure would be nice if the DOJ would take action against an even more disgusting liar and fraud whose name rhymes with “lump.”

Embattled freshman NY Republican congressman George Santos was charged with 13 federal counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements. Ana Cabrera breaks down the charges with NBC Correspondents Rehema Ellis, Ali Vitali, Ken Dilanian and former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne.

Important point: if you call him a “rapist” he can sue you for defamation, but if you refer to him as a “sexual abuser” then he has no legal grounds.

The script for that townhall is going to break down to Trump, and whatever Trump decides to blather about, within the first five minutes. It’s the mode he prefers, and what he is going to immediately head for since if he ignores the question it was never asked of him and thus he doesn’t have to answer it.

And the media is going to portray it as a “win” as he stands up to criticism, Fox and buddies will play it as CNN attempting to ambush Trump (and failing). The horse race and brown nosing of Trump is still their preferred approach.

Fuckin CNN is already going with … House GOP has evidence Biden family received millions of dollars.

That’s their reporting of a presser where when questioned, same House GOP admitted they have no actual evidence. This is just wishcasting and witch hunt bulkshit by the GOP and CNN elevates it to magic balance fairy out the fact that Trump was just found guilty of defamation and sex assault of E Jean Carroll costing Trump $5 million in damages.

House GOP says they have evidence that Biden family received millions from foreign entities

Instead of pushing this GOP line, the straight report would be that the GOP held a presser where they admitted they have no evidence Biden family committed any wrongdoing, and they’re still going to investigate because they have no solution for anything, and would rather focus on Biden “crime” than admit that they’re out to sabotage the US and world economy, undermine democracy, and still back the criminal Trump and his coconspirators.

Please tune in tonight for Trump’s “town hall” where they’ll make sure no one asks about the defamation case.

IOW, they either haven’t had time to manufacture (i.e. forge) any “evidence”; the “evidence” they’ve forged still isn’t convincing enough; or they haven’t found a credible chump/tool to “blow the whistle”. Or some combination thereof.

No proxy voting; he won’t be able to do much from behind bars.

They’ll bring proxy voting back, if that were to happen. However, only for cases of “unavoidable absence,” and not in cases where someone is sick or worried about getting sick.

I seem to remember that Coulter was angry with MAGA recently. She may be actually attacking Trump.

But I am too lazy to research the specific complaining she did.

My personal assumption is that she is a grifter and everything she does is performative anyway. So, she may see more money on the anti-Trump side.

She is also implying that there are lots of women who are fine with being assaulted by celebrities.

In 2016 CNN hired Corey Lewandowski for election coverage after he was fired from the Trump campaign for assaulting a reporter. CNN has only gone downhill from there. Sad joke.

🐈 Crush White Nationalism 🐈 May 10, 2023 • 11:28:56am

A major Paramount division announced Tuesday it will shutter MTV News and slash its US workforce by 25%, bringing to an end the iconic music video network’s news division that once covered a range of issues from pop culture to politics and became a household name for Generation X and Millennial adolescents.
Chris McCarthy, who heads Paramount Media Networks, MTV and Showtime, said in a memo to staff Tuesday that despite the media giant’s “success” in streaming, the company continues to “feel pressure from broader economic headwinds like many of our peers.”

“As a result, we have made the very hard but necessary decision to reduce our domestic team by approximately 25%,” he continued. “Through the elimination of some units and by streamlining others, we will be able to reduce costs and create a more effective approach to our business as we move forward.”

Employees affected by the layoffs were to be notified in person on Tuesday, McCarthy said.

The decision to shut down MTV News, which had already been significantly scaled down in recent years, comes less than a month after BuzzFeed announced it would eliminate its award-winning news division and Vice Media canceled its acclaimed “Vice News Tonight” as part of a broad restructuring.

The number of jurors in the Nauman Hussain Schoharie limo crash manslaughter trial is teetering on a precarious line.

Illness and indiscretion have whittled a once lush number of jurors down from 16 to 13.
After just two days of trial testimony, they are down to just one juror in the bullpen.

Two more jurors were excused on Tuesday. One of them apparently showed up to the courthouse stoned, which infuriated Judge Peter Lynch, who called that individual unfit to serve. It caused the judge to address the entire jury panel. Lynch told them he won’t tolerate jurors smoking marijuana before coming to court - it is appalling.

re: #168 sagehen

In 1998, lawyers for Bill Clinton settled with former Arkansas state employee Paul Jones for $850,000 in her four-year lawsuit alleging sexual harassment. Clinton did not acknowledge wrongdoing in the settlement. But Trump erred in describing the legal consequences of that case. In a related case before the Arkansas State Supreme Court, Clinton was fined $25,000 and his Arkansas law license was suspended for five years. Clinton also faced disbarment before the U.S. Supreme Court, but he opted to resign from the court’s practice instead of facing any penalties.

We don’t want to give Trump a platform to spew lies. Enough already. This isn’t 2016 when we didn’t know what a horrible President he would be and that he would instigate a violent insurrection.

re: #142 Backwoods_Sleuth

I’ve said it before here, what she means is that major corporations will be required to seat Republican Party Political Officers on their BOD, just like Disney has been made to operate under civil authority under DeSantis. The BOD is next…

Once a Republican is in the White House in 2025 laws will be passed requiring Republicans to essentially control the political direction of every major company in the country forcing Republicans onto the BOD as well as interfering with actual product, art /editorial direction and service decisions.

It’s going to be a world-calamity-level Clusterfuck where Republicans virtually guarantee Chinese domination of industry, education and general international goodwill (as a bastion of non-religious sanity) for the foreseeable future.

re: #252 The Pie Overlord!

Here’s a list of 5 questions I’d like CNN to ask Trump verbatim:

1. Will trials be necessary for your enemies or do you want to just jump to arrest and firing squads as early as possible?

2. What jail sentences should be appropriate for anyone who insults you?

3. How many times a day will Americans be required to publicly pray to Jesus?

4. How many Supreme Court Justices are you planning on packing in regardless of the current Republican majority?

5. Will Putin be your first guest to the White House?

Anyone know how much business Americans do with foreign nationals every year? Trillions of dollars worth. The Trump Organization does more than $10 million in business with foreign nationals every year, easily. This is nothing but a squirrel.

Someone could say I do trillions of dollars worth of business a year with foreign nationals because I support money movement in a financial institution. (Of course I don’t SEE any of that money…) That’s how dumb this is.

Don’t believe it.

Way back in the last century, when I was working for the government and the Republicans tried this stunt, it was noted that the Fed could still accept Treasury checks even if the debt limit was breached.

That is, the Federal Reserve can tell its member banks to accept Treasury paper regardless of what the Congress does with debt limits.

On top of all of this is the problem that the debt ceiling itself flies in the face of the Constitution.

Don’t be too surprised if CNN continues the major media vector towards not just surviving, but thriving in the upcoming Republican/Trump authoritarian nightmare.

Any half-assed reason for Trump to “walk out” will be quickly laughed off by him, a good- natured shrug of the shoulders by the host “well I had to ask” …and not followed up on by any CNN muppets.
