Good, that means he won't be scamming the Congressional retirement system for life. 

 

That's what I care about, our tax dollars supporting his ass.

its shocking, i know... but i believe that the dems that voted against his removal did so because they actually believed in good governance, and rules-based leadership.    There are processes to deal with ethics violations; these aren't speedy, but there are reasons for that. 

 

But there needs to be some common sense applied where there is an "orgy of evidence" like this case.

Ethics chairman launches a new bid to expel George Santos after a withering report on his conduct

 

The chairman of the House Ethics Committee announced Friday he has filed a resolution to force a vote on expelling Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress, one day after the committee issued a withering report detailing substantial evidence that Santos converted campaign donations for his own personal use. 

 

Santos easily survived an expulsion vote earlier this month as lawmakers in both parties stressed the need to allow due process, as Santos is also facing nearly two dozen charges in federal court. But the release of the committee’s findings has generated new momentum for ousting the scandal-plagued freshman. Shortly after the report was released, Santos announced he would not seek reelection.

 

“The evidence uncovered in the Ethics Committee’s Investigative Subcommittee investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment and the most appropriate punishment, is expulsion,” said Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss.

George Santos could try to 'torch the House' before he gets expelled: D.C. insider

 

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has announced that he won't seek re-election to a second term, but he could spark chaos within the House to avoid expulsion.

 

The House Ethics Committee issued a damning report last week that found Santos had engaged in “uncharged and unlawful conduct” that goes beyond the criminal allegations already pending against him, and that panel's chairman, Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), and American Enterprise Institute researcher Kevin Kosar wondered how – and whether – he would exit the chamber.

 

"How will Santos respond to that vote once he knows it is coming?" Kosar wrote. "He could go gently into the night. He might give a farewell speech like Ohio Democrat James Traficant did in 2002 after he got the boot. Or Rep. Santos instead might torch the House. Specifically, what if he demanded recognition the moment the House of Representatives restarted and raised a question of privilege to vacate the speakership?"

 

Motions to vacate are privileged, so that would cut ahead of other legislative business for a vote, and there's nothing really stopping Santos from tossing a procedural bomb.

 

"He feels betrayed and scorned," Kosar said. "Santos has every reason to fight and keep up the act that he is a victim. Additionally, vacating the Speaker would delay the vote on his own expulsion— no Speaker means the GOP would leave the floor to huddle in conference and figure out who is in charge. And if past is prologue, that could take a while. Not to be forgotten is that pulling this maneuver would be sweet revenge on his party for scorning him."

 

"And, obviously, trying to vacate the chair would make for great theater, and Santos is all about drama," he added.

While I love the idea of him torching the house, unfortunately, i think it'll probably be in a slinky gown on top of a piano.

It was funny at first. 

Absolutely the worst picture I could ever have in my head.  Thanks for ruining my entire evening.

But I'm still laughing.

So, George Santos is suggesting that he might start turning the House into a dysfunctional clown show?  

[China]

George Santos says he'll treat expulsion as a 'badge of honor' as he claims his colleagues are drunkenly having sex with lobbyists 'every night'

 

Days before his likely expulsion from the House of Representatives, Rep. George Santos of New York went on his most unhinged tirade yet.

 

In an X Space hosted by conservative media personality Monica Matthews on Friday evening, the scandal-plagued Republican said he expects to be expelled when the House votes on the matter, which is likely to happen this coming week.

 

But he said he's not sweating it.

 

"I don't care. You want to expel me? I'll wear it like a badge of honor," Santos said. "I'll be the sixth expelled member of Congress in the history of Congress. And guess what? I'll be the only one expelled without a conviction."

 

That was just one part of Santos's lengthy and angry diatribe against his colleagues, during which the indicted congressman made a series of statements and claims that are unlikely to endear him to any colleagues who may still remain on the fence about expelling him.

 

At one point, he mocked the Republican chairman of the House Ethics Committee — Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi — in the wake of that committee's damning report about his conduct.

 

"It ain't gonna be the dude from Mississippi that's gonna kick me, a New Yorker, out of Congress," Santos said. "No offense to people from Mississippi, but making that very, very clear, it's going to take a lot more than that."

 

He also said Guest needs to "stop being a ****" and call up the expulsion resolution when Congress returns this week.

 

Spokespeople for Rep. Guest did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment sent outside of regular business hours.

 

And in a moment reminiscent of former Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn — whose wild claims of cocaine-laden orgies among his colleagues spurred GOP leaders to plot his ouster last year — Santos claimed his colleagues were "hypocrites" who were regularly cheating on their spouses and barely doing their job.

 

"I have colleagues who are more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyist that they're gonna screw and pretend like none of us know what's going on, and sell off the American people, not show up to vote because they're too hungover or whatever the reason is, or not show up to vote at all and just give their card out like ****ing candy for someone else to vote for them," Santos claimed.

 

"This **** happens every single week," he said. "Where are the ethics investigations?"
