Congressmen cannot be impeached. The house can be expel a member by two thirds vote. That will not happen since most of the GOP members are insane people.

Major fail by the press in not catching this before the election.

Omg how the f#ck are Russians still pouring money into the GOP and this isn’t getting flagged a million ways by the media and Democrats?!?!

This isn’t September 2016. Jesus Christ.

This seems impeachable, no? It's outright fraud on the voters--probably meets the federal mail and wire fraud standard since he conveyed these falsehoods over the mails and wires in order to obtain a financial benefit (donations to his campaign).

Tired: The congressman-elect did not respond to a request for comment.

Inspired: We could not locate the congressman-elect and a person living at his stated address had no knowledge of his existence.

He ran against a longtime incumbent last time.

A guy who didn’t pay multiple landlords, bounced bad checks, had a fake charity that just hovered up donations for personal expenses, no money to his name…..then suddenly he gets $750K salary and a “dividend” of $1m-$5m from a phony consulting company he owns with no clients in the months leading up to the general election.

Who owns Santos? This is disgusting.

And he has run at least twice? These aren’t even hard things to check

Exactly. Why didn't this become public before the election? Why now?

Wow, you would think someone would vet him before the election

This is why journalism is important, kids. Also, where was the Democratic Party opposition research? Red lights were blinking everywhere - https://dccc.org/the-case-against-george-santos/

Really nice to learn about this a month AFTER the election.

George Santos flipped a seat in November that covers Northeastern Queens and some of Long Island’s North Shore. He appears to have lied about every single part of his background: where/whether he went to college, where he worked afterwards, whether he owns property, whether he knew people who died in the Pulse shooting, where he lives/is registered to vote, and on and on. He’s basically Anna Delvey.

Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, firms on Santos’s campaign biography, told The Times they had no record of his ever working there. Officials at Baruch College, which Mr. Santos has said he graduated from in 2010, could find no record of anyone matching his name. He claims to own $80M in real estate but was sued for nonpayment of rent twice in recent years. He claims to run a nonprofit the IRS says doesn’t exist. Just flabbergasting.

“The Times attempted to interview Mr. Santos at the address where he is registered to vote and that was associated with a campaign donation he made in October, but a person at that address said on Sunday that she was not familiar with him.
