The last time it happened was James Traficant, who had already been convicted of multiple crimes at the time of his removal.
UPDATE: Santos must be removed. Otherwise this would have already resolved based on the last vote to expel that failed.

@ReeMARKable Lol Sherman is an ex- Politico Hill reporter with a direct line to McCarthy, Stefanik, and Gaetz. Not some Twitter rando. Problem is this time, all his sources were in the half of the GOP that voted in favor of Santos, giving the impression of false momentum.
Not every type of reporting is as bad as tech company reporting.

Finally an informal count…
“Rep. George Santos will face expulsion again this week and predicts he'll be ousted”
You’ve heard a prediction from the horse’s mouth. Unfortunately the horse is also a (accused) serial liar so I don’t know whether to take this also as a falsehood.
i think he resigns rather than go through humiliation of being removed. He is no James Traficant.
@BTE I think his behavior since his election is arguably evidence that he has a humiliation fetish!
@FrederickNorris I did not but I heard a lot of wild stories about him while I was there. He used to do stuff like saying things outrageous like “Hillary Clinton is a (fill in the blank)” just to get it on the congressional record. So mostly for the laughs.
@BTE Absolutely an interesting political character. Made it to the House by refusing to carry out foreclosures as Sheriff, and used his House position to get free work done on his own house, iirc.
@IonMarqvardsen Then it would be NO. That is actually precisely what I expect to happen. I think he will realize that resigning will look better when he faces a judge for sentencing.
@BTE I think 🤔 it’s problematic that you trade first and answer last. Your answer has moved the market 20% to your advantage.
@IonMarqvardsen Look at my trading history on this question. I think I have changed my mind twice.
@SemioticRivalry Why do you think anything has changed since a couple weeks ago? Because of the report yesterday??
@BTE a bunch more Republicans came out for it and some reporters I trust said it's looking likely
@SemioticRivalry I noticed that. I like using you as a signal for when to check the news.
