Trump Commutes And Pardons The Fabulous Santos!

This weird dude George Santos had his sentence commuted and pardoned.

Scat Albert and the Orange Man.

A convicted felon has pardoned a convicted felon. A sexual predator pardoned a serial fabulist. A liar pardoned a liar.

Well what would you expect from a dottering old man with dreams of being an authoritarian leader.

Former New York Republican lawmaker George Santos is heading back home. After five months in federal time out for scamming victims with a bogus charity and using campaign funds for coffers, Santos is now a free man.

President Donald J. Trump at the request of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pardoned and commuted the seven year bid in federal time out. Greene is allegedly feuding with Trump. This decision is easing the tension.

He reported to Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, in southern New Jersey, on July 25 and is being housed in a minimum-security prison camp with fewer than 50 other inmates.

Santos, the first gay Republican elected to office only served five months before he was ousted by the House of Representatives for violating ethics.

Ghislane Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Sylvester Kelly, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Matt Gaetz, Tara Reade, Maria Butina, Edward Snowden, Matt Gaetz, Steve Bannon and numerous others are likely to get Trump’s infamous pardons.

Santos vows revenge against the New York Republicans who voted for his ouster.

He still have favorable ties to MAGAland Republicans Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney. They voted against his outer.

The New York Republican was sentenced in April after admitting last year to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people — including his own family members — to make donations to his campaign.

“I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump posted on his social media platform.

Santos appealed to the administration within hours of receiving his sentence, insisting in social media posts and interviews that it was overly harsh and politically motivated.

Greene, a prominent former colleague, also urged the White House to commute his sentence, saying in a letter days into his prison term that it was “a grave injustice” and a product of judicial overreach.

Santos was serving more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges.

Looking pretty old, Mr. President. Trump pardons a hodge podge of Republicans who were convicted of corruption.

The judge in Santos’ case agreed with prosecutors that a stiffer sentence was warranted because he did not seem remorseful, despite what he and his lawyers claimed.

Friday’s commutation is Trump’s latest high-profile act of clemency for former Republican politicians. Others include pardons for former New York Rep. Michael Grimm and former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland.

Grimm was seriously injured after a horse riding accident. He is paralyzed from the neck down but is working to get his ability to walk back. Grimm was charged by federal authorities with 20 counts of fraud, federal tax evasion, and perjury. On December 23, 2014, he pleaded guilty to a single count of felony tax fraud, and "acknowledged committing perjury, hiring illegal immigrants, and committing wire fraud". 

After initially vowing to retain his seat, Grimm announced on December 30, 2014, that he would resign from Congress effective January 5, 2015. On May 5, 2015, Daniel M. Donovan Jr. won the special election to replace Grimm. On July 17, 2015, Grimm was sentenced to eight months in prison for tax evasion. He began his prison term on September 22, 2015, after a brief delay for medical treatments.

On October 1, 2017, Grimm launched a campaign to attempt to win back his old House seat in the 11th district. On June 26, 2018, he lost in the Republican primary. Trump pardoned Grimm.

Rowland was indicted on seven counts for his role in an election fraud case where former congressional candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley, current vice chair of the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts and her husband, Brian Foley, pleaded guilty in federal court on March 31, 2014, to illegally paying Rowland $35,000 in campaign consulting fees. He was charged with two counts of falsifying records in a federal investigation, one count of conspiracy, two counts of causing false statements to be made to the FEC, and two counts of causing illegal campaign contributions. He was convicted on all seven counts in September 2014, and was subsequently sentenced to 30 months in prison in 2015. He was released in 2018. Trump pardoned him.
