Rep. George Santos and his former campaign aide, both indicted by federal prosecutors, appear to be in plea talks with the government, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
Prosecutors in the Santos case asked the judge overseeing the case to delay a court hearing set for Thursday because “the parties have continued to discuss possible paths forward in this matter.” They added: “The parties wish to have additional time to continue those discussions.”

The thing with crime families like the GOP is that once you crack one, others become available. It can be an avalanche.
I think they’ve controlled enough for long enough that they’ve been able to avoid those cracks. But the system is at a breaking point across the board, so I don’t think the gravy train will last.
