Santos Expelled from House

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

That kid was a shit-heel. The Republican did the right thing by removing him. Too bad the dims didn’t have the same integrity regarding Schiff.

Agreed. But does Schiff have pending criminal indictments? Can't expel someone just because you don't like them.

 

[Oddball]

Where is it demanded there be a criminal conviction? It's about House Rules. Read the US Constitution.

It's called "due process"....Something fascist shitheels like you demand when the shitstorm comes your way.

 

[Oddball]

Oddball and BackAgain can play Tag Team all they want. Bullies and blowhards always feel safer in groups.

Don't pay attention to their silly illogical arguments. Stick with facts and they lose.

Eat a bag of dicks, asshole.

Santos is a douchebag... But I'm still in favor of giving dochebags their day in court, unlike knuckle dragging Stalinist fucks like you.

 

[OKTexas]

It was not a trial.

Section 5: Powers and Duties of Congress​

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members,and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.


Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

Once again, where's the presumption of innocence until an actual conviction? And what will they do if he's acquitted in court? Also I guess the prohibition on double jeopardy doesn't apply to the house, this was their third bite at the same apple.

You’re just bleating again Stumblin’ Dickweed.

I accept your concession, BackFlush.

He will get his day in court.

Due process in House Ethics Committee meetings?

again...

LaLota: Santos has been afforded ‘much more process than a person in his shoes deserved’​

LaLota: Santos has been afforded ‘much more process than a person in his shoes deserved’

Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) pushed back against allegations Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) was not afforded due process during the House Ethics Committee’s investigation, arguing the embattled law…

thehill.com

“Mr. Speaker, while this proceeding is not covered by the due process clauses, George Santos has indeed been afforded much more process than a person in his shoes deserved,” LaLota said during a debate on the expulsion Thursday.

...

Santos has long argued he was not given due process in the House Ethics Committee’s investigation, which he has repeatedly called “rushed” as part of an effort to push the New York Republican out of the lower chamber.

LaLota, along with House Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.), largely rejected Santos’s argument Thursday, pointing to Santos’s decision to not testify before the committee. Santos claimed the committee’s deadline to testify was the same day he needed to go to court, adding the committee required a “hard-liner yes or no,” and that “they wouldn’t settle for anything else.”

“Santos had every opportunity to be heard when the Ethics Committee invited him to confront the accusations, an invitation Santos rejected,” LaLota said on the floor.

Guest also pushed back against Santos’s claim that he was cooperative with the committee’s investigation, telling the House floor “the record of investigation reveals otherwise.”

He will spin such tall tales in prison (I doubt he'd be in a jail), I believe many of the dopes inside will consider him a hero.

Another pardon for trump if he is re-elected.

How about the same deal that Traficant and Jesse Jackson jr. got, fascist?

Santos will have his day(s) in court. Something he fear as much as Mr. Trump does.

But Santos was not tried in a court.

Santos was expelled because of House Rules, which the US Constitution supports.

His removal comes two weeks after a scathing House Ethics Committee report detailed what investigators said was Santos' use of campaign funds for his own personal benefit. Santos repeatedly criticized the report as political smear, though he's yet to refute specific allegations.

Momentum grew to oust Santos after the report's publication, but at one point earlier Friday it appeared House Republican leaders might be able to save him.

Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and No. 3 House Republican Elise Stefanik all said they would be voting against the resolution just moments before it reached the floor.

"No Member of Congress has ever been expelled without a conviction; this is a dangerous precedent and I am voting no based upon my concerns regarding due process. I have said from the beginning that this process will play out in the judicial system which it currently is," Stefanik wrote in a post to X.

Dianne Frankenstein stayed in the Senate until death...Congressweasel fire alarm is still there, despite the criminal conviction.

It's always (D)ifferent for the Stalincrats.

They got deals? Can you point to these deals or are you just going to keep making shit up?

Runs? Ran. He lost bigly in 2020

Not even the GOP is onboard with that imbecilic nonsense you spout

So you can't address that Traficant and Jesse Jackson jr. got far different treatment....gotcha.

Well, it also doesn't hurt that you are in fact a brainless, fascist douchebag.

OK...Punishment first, then the trial.

 

[Dante]

You make up statements without backing them up.

You say other members of Congress got 'far different treatment, as if the rules and ethics violations were similar or the same. What did Santos do differently? Why was Santos targeted? What did Santos do when presented with availability to defend himself before the ethics committee? It never ended with Santos. His lies are proven without a court needing to rule on most of it.

Or are you defending Santos' lies as somehow defensible outside of a court? Do you know exactly what he lied about? Most of his lies need not be taken into a court to be proven to be lies.

You people have been so inoculated by following Trump, the term 'lies' has actually lost any real meaning with you.
