GOP: We’ve tried absolutely nothing, and we’re all out of ideas.

[
"At a minimum he needs to be fingerprinted, provide a birth certificate, and have a full FBI background check run on him. I'm not convinced he was born in the US nor am I convinced his real name is George Santos. It just came out that he has used the alias Anthony Zabrovsky in the past and footage surfaced of him saying \"I have been to Moscow many times in my career\". At least confirm his identity before seating him in Congress.",
">\n\nWhere did the money come from as well. He was broke a couple years ago then BAM a couple mil and able to loan his campaign $750K?",
">\n\nAt least some of it (a large portion) was paid to him via the relative of a Russian Oligarch. That has already been fairly widely reported, but not talked about nearly enough.",
">\n\nApparently he's now being investigated by state and federal jurisdictions for money fraud and election fraud.",
">\n\nHe will be a reliable GOP vote and that’s all they care about.",
">\n\nThe house couldn't even manage to expel members who participated in a f'ing insurrection, so my guess is they'll do absolutely nothing about someone who lied their way into office.",
">\n\nSo, the House can’t do much, and even if they could, they won’t because they don’t want to put a Republican seat in any kind of peril.\nThat said, prosecutors are opening up investigations on him, but given his term is only 2 years, I would doubt they’d be able to complete an investigation and indict him in that time frame. In any case, he probably wouldn’t resign or be expelled even if he did get indicted before the end of his term because neither he nor Republicans have any standards OR shame. They’d just all hand-wave through the indictment, trial, and sentencing until the day he had to report to prison (assuming he was found guilty, of course).",
">\n\nThat really depends on how hard it is to gather the evidence. This guy ain't the smartest cookie in the world, I bet he did a pretty piss poor job of properly covering his tracks.",
">\n\nEssentially, that article seems to say that he will not be prevented from membership, and will not be expelled in any reasonable time.\nLesson:\nYou can lie, cheat and steal your way into Congress, particularly if you are a Republican.\nReally, really sad!",
">\n\nNot just Congress\nI was just bored and looking up requirements to run for President. You can be a felon.",
">\n\nThey could refuse to seat him or remove him. They will do neither. He will not even be in the discussion for most despicable House Reps.",
">\n\nWhy is the media always scared to say “lies”? Stop downgrading it to “falsehoods”. They did this to Trump for years.\nHe’s a damn liar.\nPeriod.",
">\n\nThe house can expel him. It takes 2/3 of the house to do so, but that shouldn't be problematic, since he clearly lied about his resume. Right? \nI understand partisanship. I get the concept that the devil you know may be better than the devil you don't. I get it. But if someone just straight up lied to his voters, on a ton of consequential matters, is that not worth expulsion? What must be done before Republicans hold their own accountable?",

Put him on 90 days probation and reduced pay like how a company would do when they hire someone who they're "taking a gamble on because of a lack of experience."
That lack of experience is the justification for paying them less, and if he can't hit base expectations by 90 days he gets fired.
We do this all the time in the real world, so why can't government exist on the same plain?

The Republicans have the majority, his base expectation is to vote against Biden every single time, bleat on Fox about Hunter’s laptop and introduce articles of impeachment every two months or so. He’ll probably get reelected

Not sure why this is an issue. All GOP politicians lack integrity, this is a demonstrable fact, why pick on Santos? If you want further proof, look and see how many other Replublicans speak out against him.

Apparently local and federal prosecutors are investigating, so presumably there will be charge brought if there is enough evidence.
Problem is, by the time the investigation takes place and the legal process plays out, he’ll be well into his 2-year term.
The House has some actions it could take, but probably won’t because, as I said in another comment, they have no standards OR shame.

Well, it is not illegal to lie on a resume as it is not a contract. on the other hand, his company never made more than $40K but it was able to loan $700K to his campaign. I am thinking either tax fraud, money laundering, or illegal campaign donations might put him in court.

At a minimum he needs to be fingerprinted, provide a birth certificate, and have a full FBI background check run on him.

So, the House can’t do much, and even if they could, they won’t because they don’t want to put a Republican seat in any kind of peril.
That said, prosecutors are opening up investigations on him, but given his term is only 2 years, I would doubt they’d be able to complete an investigation and indict him in that time frame. In any case, he probably wouldn’t resign or be expelled even if he did get indicted before the end of his term because neither he nor Republicans have any standards OR shame.

The house can expel him. It takes 2/3 of the house to do so, but that shouldn't be problematic, since he clearly lied about his resume. Right?
I understand partisanship. I get the concept that the devil you know may be better than the devil you don't. I get it. But if someone just straight up lied to his voters, on a ton of consequential matters, is that not worth expulsion? What must be done before Republicans hold their own accountable?

Well, it is not illegal to lie on a resume as it is not a contract. on the other hand, his company never made more than $40K but it was able to loan $700K to his campaign. I am thinking either tax fraud, money laundering, or illegal campaign donations might put him in court.
