“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.”

I read there is a suspicion his campaign forged the signature of its purported treasurer.

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.

Republican pollution is pretty deeply entrenched.
Latest Rasmussen poll actually shows drug-crazed conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell as the leader for new RNC Chair.

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.
I don't at all think he is safe in his own district. Nassau County Republican Party is calling for him to step down. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/politics/george-santos-nassau-county-resign/index.html
