Republican George Santos has been criminally indicted by the Department of Justice. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the breaking news.

1. Sometimes I think that Meidas' main value is in telling us what we already know.

Of course, to their benefit, they do add hyperbole in their titles if nowhere else.

2. I hope he pleads not guilty. I'd like to hear the case against him ...

... it'll be like a George Santos greatest hits mix.

3. Of course he'll plead "not guilty," he would have to admit that his entire life has been a lie...

[marble falls]

4. It'll be great: one big George Santos ancdote about breaking some law somewhere and all ...

... of it nonstop. Put Santos in the same cell as 45.

5. Given his record, this may turn out to be the longest court appearance in history!

10. That might have been his stategy all along, bury 'em in bullshit. The crazy part is how petty his ..

... scams were all along. But they add up and I hope he serves a bit for each and every one.

6. I'm waiting for him to claim executive privilege

or something else stupid.

7. Looks like they want to squeeze him to find out who's been banrolling him

As I recall, there's also a question of wire fraud, raising money under false statements about its purpose.

Good luck to them unraveling all the bullshit Santos (or whoever he is) has pulled.

It's just too bad Brazil hasn't wanted to extradite him. We could have been rid of him months ago. I imagine they're none to sure who he really is, either.

8. The only thing is, can they still believe anything he says??

He's lied for so long he may not actually know what the truth is - or who he really is.

9. Of course not, but everybody leaves a paper trail

and this guy is no mastermind, just a pathological liar. He doesn't even try to keep his lies straight, just tailors them to whoever he's talking to.

I knew someone just like him many years ago. I never knew that guy's real name, either, but he was easy to spot which was very lucky for me and for the woman he was chasing, I clued her in fast. He dropped completely off the radar a few weeks later and we always figured he set up shop somewhere else in the area under a new name.

Most people are too embarrassed to admit they've been taken in by guys like these but they shouldn't be. The liars can charm the birds out of the trees and make most people believe just about anything.
