					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.
