NEW YORK When Long Island Republicans organized in 2021 to take back the Nassau County District Attorneys Office after 16 years of Democratic control, no one expected the first blockbuster case to be against a sitting member of the party.
Yet here we are.
Anne Donnelly officially became the county's top prosecutor just over a year ago, propelled by a campaign focused on state bail laws and funded almost single-handedly by the county Republican Party. She is a 32-year veteran of the DAs office who has conducted wide-ranging investigations against gangs and white-collar criminals. And last month, she pledged in strikingly strong terms to train her expertise on newly elected Rep. George Santos (R.-N.Y.).
That pronouncement launched her from relative obscurity into national headlines. And going forward, her prosecutorial experience, the desire of fellow Republicans to rid themselves of Santos and the unique powers of the district attorneys office put her in a prime position to pounce on the fact-challenged lawmaker.

(10,429 posts)If she wants to be more than an one-term DA. The message will come down from the national RNC, through the NY RNC, to leave George/Anthony alone because they need his seat in Congress. Then she'll be a good little Republican and back off.
