On Monday, the expelled former House Republican representative from New York entered a guilty plea in federal court, admitting that he engaged in fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The aggravated identity theft charge carries a two-year mandatory minimum prison sentence but the guilty plea means Santos will avoid facing criminal trial. That trial was slated for next month in New York where Santos faced 23 total criminal charges.
And on Monday, just hours before entering his guilty plea, he was dealt a blow by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton. Cote found that the embroiled former congressmans February lawsuit against late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel alleging deceptive practices and copyright infringement simply wasnt up to snuff and she dismissed it.

(68,377 posts)1. Santos is such a putrid little shit.
I might have been amazed that he managed to get himself elected to Federal office. But then I remembered; recruiting putrid little shits as candidates has been the GOP's stock in trade for over forty years now.
I can only wonder what Eisenhower would have thought of these pestilential power-grabbers.
