Santos asks Trump for pardon, commutation, clemency, ‘whatever’ (The Hill)

Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who faces more than seven years behind bars after pleading guilty to wire fraud and identity theft, revealed this week that he will be seeking clemency from President Trump.

“I’ll take a commutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me,” Santos told British media personality Piers Morgan in an episode of Morgan’s YouTube show “Uncensored” on Thursday.

“Seven years and three months in prison for a first-time offender over campaign matters just screams ‘over the top,’ and I would appreciate if the president would consider,” he added.

The embattled former lawmaker also noted he is filling out paperwork to formally seek intervention from the White House before he reports to prison in July.

1. I'm like, sorry, or whatever

The undeserving dude will probably get it too, which is infuriating.

2. He has nothing to offer

so this isn't going to happen.

3. Not sure he can raise enough money to pay the fee.

6. Maybe a GoFundMe page?

Like that blonde woman in Rochester who was caught on video calling a back child a racial slur on the playground. She's raised nearly a $1million, and she wasn't even charged with anything. George might find enough people on GoFundMe willing to pay for his Trump pardon.

7. Perhaps? IDK, thought the fee was around $2 million.

4. pResidential pardons are considered pay to play by Team trDUMP.

.... Maybe an expedited Go Fund Me page would help raise the extortion fees and payments to djt for that pardon for Santos ?

5. What is the benefit for Trump?

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Of course.

9. Well, he seems to be an expert in "screaming over the top," it would seem...

What a total dweeb and narcissist.

11. NYS could probably pick up at least some of the charges....

Most of what he was charged with are crimes in NY as well as under federal law.

They could prosecute without it being double jeopardy..
