"SNIP.......

“When Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) takes his seat in Congress on Tuesday, he will do so under the shadow of active investigations by federal and local prosecutors into potential criminal activity during his two congressional campaigns,” the New York Times reports.

“But an older criminal case may be more pressing: Brazilian law enforcement authorities intend to revive fraud charges against Mr. Santos, and will seek his formal response.”

“The matter, which stemmed from an incident in 2008 regarding a stolen checkbook, had been suspended for the better part of a decade because the police were unable to locate him.”

Taegan Goddard:

If the police are looking for you, it’s probably not wise to run for Congress.

1. extradite the scumbag

An extradition treaty between the United States and Brazil was signed on January 13, 1961 and implemented on February 11, 1965. The treaty allows both countries to request the return of individuals if the offense(s) committed are considered crimes by both countries. “Voluntary” extradition is not included in the extradition treaty.

All extradition cases are decided by the Supreme Court, with an average waiting period of one to two years. During this waiting period, the individual remains in the custody of the Federal Police and is entitled to receive consular visits.

4. ok; so how does this work

if he is incarcerated, can the gov. appoint someone or do they have to have a special election?

10. It may depend on the circumstances.

I assume that he became a US citizen at some point (who knows), but if he was wanted for a felony in his country of origin and didn't divulge that fact, then his citizenship would be fraudulent -- which would mean that he was never eligible to run for Congress. That should warrant a special election, I would think.
