If the Santos' campaign fabricated donors, I would expect federal indictments soon. That would be a serious crime and an easy one to prove and prosecute.

Noah Lanard

@nlanard

New: We've identified more than a dozen top donors to Santos' 2020 campaign who do not seem to exist.

I also spoke to a friend of Santos' who says he did not give the $2,800 donation attributed to him.

Unfortunately, he's a Republican, and our system never holds them accountable for anything. I seriously fear he will never be charged or face a day in court or jail.

A coup that played out on tv, tours led by congressional leaders to prep the coup, a bomber caught on camera all should be easy to prosecute. But nothing happens. Just as in the 2008 financial crisis. Where is the DOJ? Where is justice on any level?

Soon has been redefined by a variable called political party. 1. Democrats going after a republican takes approximately 5-10 years before they just give up. 2. GOP going after a Dem takes one memo and repeated memo text over media, social media, and every GOP politician.
