Members phkrause Posted November 2, 2023 Author Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 🏛️ Dems save Santos Dozens of House Democrats sent shockwaves through Congress last night by sinking a measure to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), Axios' Andrew Solender and Stef Kight report. Why it matters: Democrats expressed concerns about the precedent of expelling a colleague who hasn't been criminally convicted or subject to a complete House Ethics Committee process — even one as hated as Santos. Santos faces nearly two dozen federal charges and a likely re-election loss if he manages to stay in Congress through 2024. The resolution failed 179-213, with 31 Democrats joining most Republicans in voting against. Between the lines: Just 24 Republicans voted for the resolution. Most of the Dems against it were, like Republicans who supported it, moderates and from swing districts. ps:Very interesting!!

George Santos won’t seek reelection after a scathing ethics report cites evidence of lawbreaking WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee in a scathing report Thursday said it has amassed “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking by Republican Rep.

Members phkrause Posted November 18, 2023 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2023 The final chapter The extraordinary tale of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), one of the most prolific fabulists of the modern political era, is set to end in dramatic but predictable fashion following the release of a scathing ethics report today. Why it matters: Santos — who responded to the report by announcing he would not seek re-election — could become just the sixth person in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives unless he chooses to preemptively resign. The ongoing House Ethics Committee probe was cited by both Republicans and Democrats in two previous failed attempts to expel Santos, but that barrier has now been lifted. Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.), the chair of the Ethics Committee, plans to file a privileged resolution tomorrow to expel Santos: "He's gone," predicted one House Republican. Driving the news: The 56-page Ethics report determined that substantial evidence of misconduct by Santos — who already faces 23 federal criminal charges — shows that he "cannot be trusted." "Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit," the usually circumspect Ethics Committee declared. "He blatantly stole from his campaign." "He sustained all of this through a constant series of lies to his constituents, donors, and staff about his background and experience." What he's saying: Santos, who did not cooperate with the investigation, condemned the Ethics report on X as a "disgusting politicized smear" and called for states "TO RISE UP AND COMMENCE AN ARTICLE V CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!" — though it was unclear what exactly he meant by that. Zoom in: The list of personal expenses that Santos allegedly paid for with campaign funds borders on cartoonish: Hotels, resorts and spas in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and the Hamptons. $20,000 in rent. Over $4,000 at Hermes and $6,000 at Ferragamo stores. Purchases at Sephora and OnlyFans. Botox. Between the lines: The Santos saga has been a gift to late-night comedians and online memesters, but his expulsion would have significant real-world implications for a GOP conference already struggling to pass legislation. "Why would we want to expel a guy ... [when] we've got a three-seat, four-seat majority? What are we doing?" Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) told Axios, suggesting he would hold off voting for expulsion unless Santos is convicted. New York Democrats — who are routinely reminded that Santos' victory in their state helped Republicans clinch the majority last year — are eager to reclaim his Long Island swing seat and redeem that embarrassing defeat. What to watch: The last expulsion resolution, which requires a two-thirds majority, failed 179-213. Dozens of lawmakers already have announced they will flip their vote to favor expulsion — and momentum is still building. The bottom line: Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper about the most "offensive" thing Santos did, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) responded bluntly: "Running."

Members phkrause Posted November 30, 2023 Author Members Share Posted November 30, 2023 💥 Anxieties bubble up over third Santos expulsion vote Progressive activists from MoveOn display a 15-foot inflatable George Santos in front of the Capitol today. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images The House this week will vote for a third time on a resolution to expel embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.). This time, it may succeed, Axios' Andrew Solender reports. Why it matters: The release of a bombshell Ethics Committee report before the Thanksgiving recess has prompted many lawmakers to support his expulsion after previously opposing it. Santos himself has signaled he expects to be expelled, saying on Friday: "I've done the math over and over, and it doesn't look really good." House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has pressured Santos to resign to save Republicans from taking a difficult vote, including in a phone call today. Driving the news: Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) introduced what's known as a privileged motion just after the House reconvened today. The motion forces the House to vote on their one-page resolution by Thursday — though it's up to Republican leadership when, precisely, the vote will take place. What we're watching: Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.) has introduced his own expulsion measure, which is likely to be given primacy by GOP leadership and attract more Republican support. That measure is expected to be forced to a vote this week as well, a House Republican familiar with the plans told Axios. Between the lines: Top Republicans are quietly worried about Santos' expulsion shrinking their razor-thin majority, especially given the possibility of early retirements, Axios' Juliegrace Brufke reports. Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) recently announced he plans to step down from his seat early to accept a position running Youngstown State University. Speculation is also mounting over whether former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will leave before his term is up.

Members phkrause Posted December 2, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2023 💥 Santos set to leave with a bang Today may have marked the final full day in Congress for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who faces an expulsion vote tomorrow widely expected to succeed. Driving the news: The serial fabulist began the day by unveiling his own resolution to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who pleaded guilty last month to pulling a fire alarm in a House office building. Santos will not be able to offer the privileged resolution on the House floor in two days' time if he's no longer a member. Later in the day, Santos sat down with reporters for a Q&A session, during which he admitted to using "cosmetic Botox and fillers," said he plans to write a book, and left the door open to participating in reality TV shows like "Dancing with the Stars" in the future. On the House floor, Santos once again aggressively defended himself — saying he has been "been convicted of no crimes" and alleging a "smear campaign." Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) also defended him, pointing out that the only five members ever to be expelled from Congress were either convicted of crimes or participated in the Civil War. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) are among those who said today they will not vote to expel Santos.

Members phkrause Posted December 2, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 2, 2023 George Santos will face a third effort to expel him from Congress Rep. George Santos of New York is facing a critical vote to expel him from the House. Lawmakers will weigh whether his actions, fabrications and alleged lawbreaking warrant the chamber’s most severe punishment. “I will not stand by quietly,” Santos declared on the House floor Thursday as lawmakers debated his removal. Read more. Why this matters The first-term Republican congressman is at grave risk of becoming just the sixth member of the House to be ousted by colleagues. Expulsion requires support from two-thirds of the House, a purposefully high bar. Three previous expulsions in the House were for disloyalty to the Union during the Civil War. The remaining two occurred after the lawmakers were convicted of crimes in federal court. Santos made his case for remaining in office by appealing directly to lawmakers who worry they are setting a new precedent that could make expulsions more common. But a blistering House Ethics Committee report may prove decisive. The panel said it had amassed “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking by Santos that it sent to the Justice Department. Santos’ presence in the House has become a distraction and an embarrassment to the Republicans. The expulsion push is just the latest chapter in what has been a spectacular fall from grace for Santos. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York held his weekly press conference with a massive photo next to him of Santos and Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia sitting in the House chamber together and laughing. It’s an example of how Democrats are looking to tie other Republicans to Santos when possible.
