The federal indictment “seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations," according US Attorney Breon Peace. “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself."

@Jayslacks @w7voa Except under the Trump administration and Bill Barr, our Justice Department over the last few decades has pretty much only indicted politicians when they have very strong evidence that will hold up, so yeah I'd guess that #GeorgeSantos short foray into politics is about over thankfully.

@w7voa The House is going to be a shitshow if Republicans have one less vote. It's going to be awesome to watch.
