Embattled Rep. George Santos hit with additional charges, including identity theft
Prosecutors said Santos claimed he made non-existent loans to his campaign while making unauthorized charges on donors' credit cards.

Being a Republican can kill you; living in the same state with too many of them can kill you too

We have our share of them here in CA, mostly in rural counties. They have no power statewide, thankfully.

A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes. A more troubling explanation is that you are abusing your authority as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary to attempt to obstruct and interfere with a Georgia criminal prosecution. See O.C.G.A. § 16-10-24. Indeed, you confessed to this motivation on Mark Levin’s September 10, 2023, show: when discussing one of my office’s active prosecutions, you boasted, “We’re trying to get all the answers, but we’re trying to stop this stuff as well” (emphasis added).' While you may enjoy immunity under the United States Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, that does not make your behavior any less offensive to the rule of law.

In other words, fuck you very much.

The audacity of this jerk Jordan is simply astounding. To begin with the House is not even functional, so is his position of a Committee chairman even valid? Doesn't the new speaker get to appoint committee chairs?

And to send another letter to Ms. Willis after her first scathing response?
