George Santos just got his life restored!
He was prosecuted by everyone around him for a fraction of the crime he actually committed, the victim of an apparent political prosecution just because they didn’t like him.
President Trump could tell, and that’s why I believe he gave Santos free rein.
move right!

@realdonaldtrumpGeorge Santos was “rogue” to some extent, but there are many rogues across our country who are not forced to serve seven years in prison. I started thinking about George when the topic of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, “Da Nang” had said for nearly twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam veteran, who had endured the worst of the war, had seen the wounded and the dead as he ran across the hills and valleys, blood streaming down his face.
He was “a great hero”, he would tell anyone who would listen – and then it happened! He was a complete fraud. He never went to Vietnam, never saw Vietnam, never experienced combat there or anywhere else. His war hero status, and even minimal service in our army, was completely and utterly fabricated.
This is worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos always had the courage, conviction, and intelligence to vote Republican! George has been in solitary confinement for a long time and, by all accounts, has been horrifically abused. Therefore, I signed a commutation to immediately release George Santos from prison. Good luck George, have a nice life!
