He should get his black dress out and put his pointy hat on because they found the witch….call the hunt off he's under all those indictments. By the way, who paid the 500 thousand dollar bail to get him released so quickly?.. McCarthy ?🤔 hmmm….. In a recording George stated…."Im not giving them any help, I won't cooperate…..I'm going to demand all my constitutional rights as an American"……and……" I did qualify for unemployment benefits because my salary fell to…. only $55,000 from $220,000 a year". ….. I don't think that's how unemployment works George! 😆…… and of course "Lots of sitting members of Congress have survived lots of scandals, look at Matt Geatz, he survived"…..umm George, he wasn't actually indicted you are being charged with numerous crimes…"I'm not going to resign …… I can totally defend myself from all these fraudulent charges…. it's a witch hunt.". I wonder who's going to take him on as a client, can he even pay an attorney? I totally doubt Trump's going to help him. But McCarthy needs his support, "I'm not going to support his bid for re-election"…. but in the meantime……🙄
HE'S THE WITCH 🧹
WHAT'S TO HUNT FOR ?
What a 🤡
This isn't a witch hunt, this is a bltch hunt, LOL
Of course he will fight. He didn’t back down to Ali!
Ever wonder if the 2nd amendment was enacted to succeed where the courts fail?
The DOJ has a 95% conviction rate. With the entire force of the federal investigation departments available to them, the DOJ will leave no stone unturned in their search for any evidence. With the entire federal investigation capability of the federal government, the DOJ will have a ton of evidence before they go to court.
Santos belong with Trump behind bars. These corrupt politicians need to be stripped of all their benefits and fired with no chance of hold office anywhere again. Republicans are LIARS
Biden case way bigger than this
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m gonna kind of miss him. It was like a daily SNL skit. Bye bye.
Lot of right wing nutjobs being criminally prosecuted:/
He a Democrat posing as a Republican.
What a disgrace!
The American People DEMAND that CONGRESS act and FORCE the DOJ to appoint a Special Counsel, with the approval of Congress to investigate RICO Criminal Activity and TREASON!
Finally, the Biden Crime Family and the corruption and dereliction of duty in the DOJ, IRS, ATF, FBI, and "Political" and WEAPONIZED Federal Departments will hopefully be exposed.
The corrupt, fake news, media will once again COVER UP and REFUSE to report the truth and once again be a Day and a Dollar Short with the scoop on high crimes and misdemeanors and TREASON!
The Biden Crime Family is a textbook case of an "ongoing criminal enterprise of Fraud and Corruption". Biden's Money-Related Crimes: multiple kinds of fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, bribery, extortion, and selling out the hard-working, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens of the United States must be exposed.
The Biden Crime Family is a textbook case of a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act Ongoing Criminal Enterprise.
The Federal Law, RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization…. just like the Biden Crime Family.
RICO can now provide an effective method for establishing the existence of political criminals, who use their office in government, as a vehicle, allowing their criminal family's penetration into THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Only politician to ever lie…indicted over a thousand bucks… meanwhile millions of dollars from China going to Biden's nieces born of whores…
He is nothing but a dirty criminal abusing our country
Oh! It's a witch hunt when they get caught doing something wrong.
It takes months to investigate a turdball but the Biden crime family can't be investigated in more than 15 years .
Rep Santos calls 13-count federal indictment " a witch hunt". Then he flew away on a broom.
Taking a page from the tRump playbook
How many democrats were charged with crimes?😮
Lock him up! SOunds like scum donnie. He says "it's a wish hunt"
witch hunt???? what??? does he live in Salem??? 😅😂😂😂
What witchhunt you did everything that they said you did 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
LOL witch hunt? No. That would require the basis be something FALSE. This is based on FACT.
Jailbirds… going to the bighouse
GOP must be riddled with witches. How about we stop putting microphones in front of liars? We are constantly treating political criminals like they are different than any other criminal? Enough with letting them address the public. Let the facts come out in the courtroom and stop giving them opportunities to rally the crazies. It’s not journalism, it’s tabloid tv.
