+1 I wonder if Suozzi will run again if there’s a special election.

“Santos’ campaign filings, however, have been inconsistent in reporting whether his reported loans, including $80,000 in June 2021 and $500,000 in March 2022, were made with his own money. There were inconsistencies even on the amended forms submitted Tuesday.”

Yep, he's going to get charged with violating campaign finance laws by making fraudulent disclosures. I really can't believe McCarthy isn't getting ahead of this. Kicking Swalwell and Schiff off Intel while handing committee assignments to this obvious fraudster and criminal is a really bad look.
Not to the people McCarthy has to answer to.
He's safe in his own district, but if he wants to remain as speaker he's got to think about how this plays in the swing districts that gave the GOP its very narrow majority. And how it's going to play in Santos's district when he eventually gets charged and then there's a special election.

Special elections aren't instant. The Ds are down one vote until the end of February waiting on one. I don't think McCarthy can afford to be down a vote for any length of time, especially when the democrats are about to be up one vote.
Criminal investigations aren’t instant either and there’s no way that Santos is resigning without a complete one that indicts him. He’ll probably be like the last three convicted Republican congressmen and won’t even resign until after he’s convicted.
