The NY Times Is Tracking George Santos’ Campaign Expenditures. And It’s Like Playing Whack-A-Mole

It’s going to be fun watching this little weasel go down, simply  because he’s so stupid. The New York Times has been tracking and evaluating the income and expenditures of Serial liar George Santos’s campaign, using FEC filing statements and other publicly available data, and it appears that there’s a small problem. About $365,000 small.

That’s how much filthy lucre that the campaign appears to have spent in the last six months, but can’t provide either receipts nor recipients for. And the NYT’s research shows a campaign accounting system and FEC reporting process that is pure Santos. Say whatever bullshit comes to mind, and then change it later.

The unexplained expenditures represent almost 12.5% of the campaign’s expenditures, several times higher than for any other normal campaign. And what accounting and attribution there is in there is a dogs breakfast of bullshit. For example;

• Several campaign donors said in interviews that the Santos campaign, or associated groups misrepresented how much they donated. And the records show discrepancies between what the campaign said it paid recipients, including other GOP candidates, and what those recipients records showed that they received
• The imbecile campaign has amended its FEC filings 36 times! In the amendments, some donations go up, while others simply disappear. And while New York GOP candidates listed $26,000 in donations from the Santos campaign, those donations don’t appear anywhere in the Santos FEC filings
• The former general counsel for the NRSC stated that The Santos reports were all over the map, and made absolutely no sense at all
• Prior to April, Santos did itemize much more of his expenditures. Unfortunately for Santos, those itemized expenditures showed a proclivity for fancy restaurants and high end luxury hotels, something most candidates eschew. Moreso, he listed a $260,000 expenditure to Anonymous. In the May filing that listing disappeared, but the $260,000 wasn’t accounted for.

But here’s what binds the cheese to me, and thanks for great independent reporting. Starting in the spring, there started to appear a bizarre number of expenditures, all for $199.99. WTF?! Relax mon Cheri, it’s simple. According to filing regulations, any expenditure of $200 or more must have a receipt provided. Apparently somebody at the Santos campaign got the memo when they got nailed, and made adjustments.

I wrote weeks ago when this shit started that I already had a feeling as to what it was. Pure and simple, money laundering. And as I read this report, I could feel it in my stones. And it just goes to show how brain dead stupid George Santos is. Really? First you wave a magic wand and claim a $800,000 self loan, and then you turn around and show a $260,000 expenditure to Anonymous? And when you get burned, you drop that item without doing anything to explain it otherwise? And then you discover the magic wand of $199.99, which means that the expenditure doesn’t require a receipt? How simple is that? Just flip open the Yellow Pages, pick random merchants and services, and claim $199.99 for services. And even if a check shows that the merchants and providers say they never provided services or got paid? So what? You don’t need a receipt, your word is good enough.

Sweet Jesus, how stupid can one moron be? Santos is truly Trump’s Mini-Me. Like Traitor Tot, he’s managed to skate for his entire useless life from any criminal accounting. And for the same reason, he’s to freakin’ small time to be worth the manpower and effort. But not anymore. And the FBI has already asked the FEC to hold off on any investigation or rulings, because they’re on the case.

The FBI. These are the investigators who took down Enron, who took down Jack Abramoff, who took down drug dealers and mob families on money laundering. They took down Martha Stewart and Leona Helmsley, and they took down Bernie Madoff. Do you honestly think that these sharks aren’t going to chew up a 3rd rate pissant like George Santos for breakfast? But don’t worry George, maybe they’ll let you wear that stolen sweater vest over your orange jumpsuit. God, I’m looking forward to this perp walk! George Santos gives corrupt politicians a bad name.
