Bye, Kitara

Former Congressman George Santos, aka drag queen Kitara Ravach, has pled guilty to wire fraud and identity theft.

I really wish that he were still embarrassing Republicans:

Republican George Santos, whose brief political career was marked by a slew of lies and embellishments before he was expelled from Congress, pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges of aggravated identity theft and wire fraud.

Santos admitted to defrauding donors to his 2022 campaign by taking their money for his personal use and charging thousands of dollars on their credit cards without authorization, among other charges. Sentencing guidelines indicate that Santos could face more than six years in prison, U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert said during an afternoon court hearing. She set a sentencing date of Feb. 7.

As part of his agreement, he pleaded guilty to two counts — wire fraud and identity theft — and prosecutors said they would ask the judge to dismiss the remaining 21 counts at his sentencing. He admitted in court to wrongfully claiming unemployment benefits for nearly a year and making false statements to Congress on his required disclosure statements, in which he said he had millions of dollars in fabricated assets.

I'm pretty sure that once he gets out of the slam, he'll have a very lucrative speaking tours.
