• The law firm assisting Santos

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 20 13:45:43 2023
    The law firm assisting Santos before the FEC and the House Ethics
    Committee dropped him as a client. No public word why, but my guess:
    he can't pay them. He is broke. Which is one reason his federal
    criminal case will end in a guilty plea, n/w/s his current posturing.

    I do know there are law firms who want the money up front before
    representing a client.

    Should be a flag on the play, then, that he wanted to name himself as
    his office's own treasurer - or some sh*t like that - before finding
    out he was unable to.

    I suspect the whole thing was one big money-induced grift.

    Give him some jail time as payback for all our time he's wasted.
    There's governing to do here.
