Mike Honcho 4,000 Posted February 15, 2023 Quote Amish farmer alleges George Santos wrote him bad check in exchange for puppies A little more than five years ago, an Amish dairy farmer in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, welcomed a nervous, fidgeting man onto his property to discuss the sale of puppies that the farmer breeds as a side business. “He says, ‘We are going to take that puppy and that puppy,’” said the farmer, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity. “And his assistant grabs the two puppies, takes them out the door, and he pulls out a check. I was like, ‘Oh no, is this guy going to pay me with a check?’ I was very suspicious.” His instinct was right. The check bounced. The name on it: George Santos, better known today as a recently elected and increasingly scandal-plagued Republican congressman from New York. Not long after his interaction with the Amish farmer, Santos was charged with theft in Pennsylvania after several bad checks were written in his name to dog breeders in the region, according to a former lawyer friend who helped him navigate the case. The case was confirmed as “theft by deception” by the York County District Attorney’s Office, which told CNN it was later dismissed. The charges centered on a series of nine checks totaling more than $15,000 that went to the dog breeders, according to Tiffany Bogosian, a childhood friend of Santos and personal-injury lawyer who said she assisted Santos in February 2020 after he was served with an extradition warrant. Days after the exchange, Santos participated in an adoption event at a pet supply store in Staten Island, New York, according to the business’ former owner, Daniel Avissato. I hope that the adoption event means the puppies ended up in good homes, story doesn't say. Where's the investigative journalism on the puppies!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 4,000 Posted May 10, 2023 Quote George Santos charged in federal probe Rep. George Santos, who is charged with fraudulently applying for Covid-related unemployment benefits, is a co-sponsor of a bill that would help states recoup fraudulent Covid unemployment insurance benefits. Asked at a news conference whether the Santos indictment — which claims Santos received unemployment benefits during the pandemic while he actually had a job — undermines the GOP messaging on the issue, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise demurred. “They're serious charges. He's gonna have to go through the legal process, but we're gonna continue to work to root out fraud and there's lots of it,” Scalise told reporters. While he was running for Congress, Santos also publicly opposed pandemic-related unemployment benefits. Quote House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is standing by Rep. George Santos this morning, not calling on him to resign even after being informed of the 13-count indictment against the New York Republican. After being informed of the money laundering and wire fraud charges, McCarthy told CNN that "it always concerns me." "He will go through his time in trial, and let's find out how the outcome is," McCarthy said when pressed by reporters on if it is time for Santos to resign. Too funny.

Mike Honcho 4,000 Posted November 16, 2023 Quote George Santos announces he won’t seek reelection following damning Ethics Committee report Republican Rep. George Santos announced he will not seek reelection to the House next year, following the Ethics Committee’s release of its long-awaited report on Thursday, concluding that there is “substantial evidence” that the New York congressman used campaign funds for personal purposes. The report said Santos engaged in “knowing and willful violations” with regard to financial disclosure statements filed with the House, and “knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission.” A statement from the committee accompanying the report said the panel unanimously voted to adopt the report. The committee said it uncovered additional “uncharged and unlawful conduct” by Santos that go beyond the criminal allegations already pending against him, and would immediately refer these allegations to the Justice Department for further investigation. Santos announced in a statement that he will not seek reelection following the release of the ethics report, though he remained defiant in the face of the allegations against him and denounced the investigation, calling it a “biased report.” “It is a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk. Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should all be ashamed of themselves,” Santos wrote of the report in a post on X. He went on to say, “I will however NOT be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024 as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time.” First ethical thing he's done...
