The president you idiot is the executive branch, hence why he can’t be indicted…a member of congress is not, they are part of the legislative branch

An impeachment is an indictment.

A POTUS can't be indicted because of a DOJ policy adopted about 10 years ago, ass breath. There's no actual law on the books preventing it.

A POTUS can't be indicted because of a DOJ policy adopted about 10 years ago, ass breath. There's no actual law on the books preventing it.

Actually it was policy adopted in the late 90s

But a policy it was. Not a law. Not part of the Constitution.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The DOJ will change the protocols and procedures next year to prevent a re-elected Trump from stopping ongoing investigations, trials, punishments, and appeals.

Actually the opinion was from the 70s.

The opinion was based on the fact that power of the executive vest in the president, the DOJ works for him. It would be akin to the president indicting himself

Not quite. DOJ works for the America people, unless your Trump who thinks DOJ is there to do his dirty work.

The AG & people who work for him swear an oath to The Constitution, not the POTUS.

No the president works for the American people the DOJ is an agency that works for the president, serves at his pleasure, in helping him execute his job. The power of the executive vest in a US president.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The DOJ duty is not to work for the President but for We the People.

 

[struth]

The DOJ duty is not to work for the President but for We the People.

Haha that’s the duty of all of govt. but the DOJ is specifically an executive branch agency, who answers directly to the president, the president is the executive branch

 

[Lesh]

You misunderstand. The DOJ may be a part of the executive branch, but it is not run by the President.

 

[struth]

You misunderstand. The DOJ may be a part of the executive branch, but it is not run by the President.

Hahaha who in the world is it run by?

Have you not read art 2 of the US Constitution? The power of the executive vest in A President…not the president and whoever runs the DOJ

 

[westwall]

You misunderstand. The DOJ may be a part of the executive branch, but it is not run by the President.

Provably false. Holder famously declared he was obummers "wingman"

DURRRRRR

The resignation of George Santos is an easy call, but Kevin McCarthy is protecting him because of the narrow Republican majority in the House.

More and more Republicans are calling for Santos to resign as more of his crimes, yes crimes, come to light. Santos did more than lie, he broke the law and it is just a matter of time before he is indicted.

The House vacancies clause says that when a House member resigns, the governor of the state must hold a special election.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S2-C4-1/ALDE_00013338/

Santos defeated his Democratic opponent 54.1 percent to 45.9 percent.

Even if and when Santos is indicted, there is no law which requires a House member under indictment to resign. Not even if they are ultimately convicted! So one wonders just how far into the gutter the GOP will follow Santos.

So let's get into his crimes.

First, the Santos campaign defrauded donors:

'We were duped': How George Santos raised money from wealthy GOP donors while lying about his resume

Congressman George Santos "duped" wealthy donors to contribute to his campaign. The lies helped his 2022 political groups raise nearly $3 million.

www.cnbc.com

Wealthy donors received calls and emails from a man who said he was Dan Meyer, McCarthy’s chief of staff, during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, according to people familiar with the matter. His name was actually Sam Miele, and he worked for Santos raising money for his campaign, according to one GOP donor who contributed to Santos’ campaign.

The Republican would also tout his business record that’s now in question, including claims that he worked on Wall Street, as a way to encourage donors to contribute to his campaign, according to financiers and party operatives familiar with the matter.

Brendan Fischer, a deputy executive director of the watchdog Documented, and Robert Maguire, a research director at campaign ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, each told CNBC that the impersonation of McCarthy’s chief of staff could have broken the law.

“A person who misrepresented themselves as speaking on behalf of a candidate in order to raise money may have committed a criminal violation, and any other person who knowingly and willfully participated in the plan could also face criminal charges,” Fischer said in an email.


One wonders just how much of a cuck Kevin McCarthy is if he tolerates the Santos campaign impersonating his chief of staff.





Next, Santos donated $705,000 to his own campaign. The only problem is, he has no visible means of income for that kind of money. The most likely scenario is that he received money from straw donors illegally and funneled it to his campaign.

Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction. (Published 2022)

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

Federal investigators are on the case. Santos's indictment is probably just a matter of time.

McCarthy needs to get out in front of this, or the GOP will continue to be the We Can Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue party. No more red waves.

So he is not going to run for reelection, because of all the charges against him.

Write it down, Trumpanzees. Your guy just got out-classed by George fking Santos.

Santos doesn't have the common decency to resign.

That's what the GOP has come to.
