The House Ethics Committee announced Thursday it is officially moving forward with a probe into embattled Rep. George Santos as the New York Republican faces mounting legal issues and calls to resign for extensively lying about his resume and biography.

The Ethics Committee said in a news release that it voted to set up an investigative subcommittee with authority to look into a number issues, including whether Santos may have engaged in unlawful activity related to his 2022 congressional campaign.

According to the release, the investigative panel will have jurisdiction to determine whether Santos “may have engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign; failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House; violated federal conflict of interest laws in connection with his role in a firm providing fiduciary services; and/or engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office.”

This can be ploy to drag out the Santos case.  Kevin wants to keep him for the vote, and various members of the House (some of which are GOP) want him tossed out.  Ethics committee could easily stretch it out to year's end.  Then begins an election year, awww, might as well let him ride it out but no re-election. 

Kevin comes off as smart as a traffic pylon, but there is something ticking in there.

Imagine if all politicians of all parties would have at least a little spine.

People who lied constantly and repeatedly should be banned right away. OUT!

I am not old enough to remember if there was ever such a time.

Besides this guy being a knucklehead. IMO the bigger story should be how this guy was even considered to be a candidate in the first place. There's alot of jobs that will call to verify diplomas. My DOD job did a background investigation.

 

But this guy can lie his way in, C'mon.
