The REAL reason George Santos was expelled from Congress



Google George Santos and you’ll find a surplus of headlines citing fraud and campaign finance violations, among other accusations. The list of federal felony charges the expelled congressman faces is as follows:

  • one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States
  • two counts of wire fraud
  • two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission
  • two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC
  • two counts of aggravated identity theft
  • one count of access device fraud
  • seven counts of wire fraud
  • three counts of money laundering
  • one count of theft of public funds
  • two counts of making materially false statements to the United States House of Representatives

That’s 23 total charges that Santos will answer to in court next month.

According to Santos, however, the only reason he’s been hit with a slew of felonies is because he’s exposed the insidious corruption in Congress.

“I went from being a member of Congress (previously a private equity professional) to becoming a professional s**t poster on social media, and let me tell you something ... nobody's willing to say that Congress inside trades. Nobody's willing to sit here and tell you Dan Crenshaw is a dirty insider trader,” he tells James Poulos, pointing to the Blaze Originals documentary “Bought and Paid For” released earlier this year that explains how congressmen and women get filthy rich despite their moderate salaries.

Santos says he does it because “the American people deserve to know the scumbags that are in Congress today.”

However, he believes that his boldness is why he’s been ousted and charged with a litany of offenses.

He points to Texas Democrat Sen. Henry Cuellar as proof.

“His indictment says he's been taking bribes from a Mexican bank and the country of Azerbaijan for the last ten years, which means he's been corrupt since the day he got here. I think that's far more than the BS they try to pin on me,” says Santos, and yet despite his crimes, Cuellar is considered “an honorable member with great relationships and accomplishments.”

To hear Santos spill the tea on his least favorite members of Congress, like Eric Swalwell's intimate relations with a Chinese spy, watch the episode above.

The REAL reason DC politicians NEVER leave office



The world is in a constant state of change — unless you’re an ancient politician who never wants to leave their powerful spot in Congress.

James Poulos reveals why these politicians never leave in the newest Blaze Originals documentary, “Bought and Paid For: How Politicians Get Filthy Rich.”

“It’s a system that’s ripe for abuse,” Poulos tells Glenn Beck.

In the documentary, Poulos interviews George Santos, who gives him an inside scoop that proves just that.

“I’m thinking I want to go sign onto Abigail Spanberger’s bill on individual stock trading. I was told that if I signed, co-sponsored the bill, and made too much voluminous flare over it, that I wouldn’t be seated. So, I shut up,” Santos tells Poulos.

Santos reveals that it was “staff from the majority from leadership” who told him this. “The threats that fly around are just absolutely insane,” he adds.

Matt Gaetz also sat down with Poulos, and he explained that the Appropriations Committee can view almost any vector of government funding. He then pointed out that Rep. John Rutherford is on the Ethics Committee and the Appropriations Committee.

“152 stock trades,” Gaetz says, noting that Rutherford bought Raytheon stock the same day that Russia invaded Ukraine.

“Imagine if every American could make money off of war,” he adds.

“Let me go back to a bigger point, James,” Glenn responds, asking, “What does this say about why these people are hanging out so long in Congress, why they never seem to retire?”

“It is a system,” Poulos explains, “that really works as designed in that sense, and it’s designed to keep people hanging around, taking advantage of what they can in whatever way they can for as long as they can.”
