Excerpt:
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos was sentenced Friday to over seven years in prison, sobbing as he learned his punishment for the crimes that led to his expulsion from Congress.

Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, appealed for mercy. In a federal court a short drive from his old congressional district, he said through tears that he was “humbled” and “chastised” and realized he had betrayed his constituents' trust.

“I offer my deepest apologies,” he said, adding: “I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.”

Whatever, bub. In the meantime, go ahead and assume the position.

Pardon pending?

    Yup.

    I wouldn't be surprised by a pardon but he will have to find a new crop of believers to fleece in order to come up with the bribe donation to 47.

    I wouldn't think him important enough to attract a few seconds to sign a pardon so I guess it depends on whether he has friends that can submit executive pardons in the stack of executive orders signed, but probably unread, every day.
