The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reviewing seeking a 7 year sentence for former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) according to a Friday filing.

Prosecutors said the length of the requested sentence reflects the serious nature of Santos’s “unparalleled” crimes.

“Santos planned and executed an assortment of fraudulent schemes and leveraged them and a fictious life story to enrich himself and capture one of the highest offices in the government of the United States,” DOJ attorneys wrote, according to court documents.

They added that the former congressman’s continued lies made a “mockery” of the U.S. election system. Santos originally denied allegations of wrongdoing when confronted by lawmakers after a scathing report from the House ethics committee but eventually pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft last year.

loose ends.

8. WHAAAT ?!? All he did was tell a bunch of lies to get elected, then kept lying after he was elected -- is that so wrong?

This just reeks of hypocrisy. How can this be the same DOJ that didn't prosecute Turnip for anything ?

9. which makes me wonder how long this prosecution will last

as soon as the orange lump hears about it will probably change the outcome. After all, criminals come first!
