Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison -- the maximum -- in a New York federal court on Friday after pleading guilty to a series of fraudulent schemes.
Santos, 36, was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He was sentenced to 87 months.
He faced a sentence of 75 to 87 months imprisonment, including a mandatory minimum two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft. He did not take any questions from reporters as he arrived at federal court in Central Islip for the Friday morning sentencing hearing.
In a court filing ahead of Friday's sentencing hearing on Long Island, federal prosecutors requested the maximum possible sentence -- amounting to seven years and three months -- calling his conduct a "brazen web of deceit" that defrauded donors and misled voters.

(9,520 posts)Why? Because conduct(ing) a brazen web of deceit that defrauded donors and misled voters, as the article puts it, is what the Republican party is all about.
Thats what Republican voters want. Theyre addicted to lies, quite literally, and have been for decades now.
There were no victims here. Hell, by Republican standards, there were no crimes committed at all.

Prosecutors sought seven years in federal prison for Santos, arguing in recent court filings that he remains unrepentant and has not shown genuine remorse, despite what he claims.
They cited recent comments Santos made on social media in which he cast himself as a victim of prosecutorial overreach.
