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.”

    This is not a smart guy, he isn’t thinking ahead. All his actions point to having a singular goal: be speaker of the house for as long as possible. Nothing else. He just reacts and does whatever he thinks will prolong his tenure at that moment.

      Yep. He never wanted to serve. He only wanted the title and to be in the history books. He’s gonna be in the books as a weak piece of shit, but like the other Republicans, he has no shame.
