George Santos Could Be On Hook For Wire Fraud Ex U.S. Attorney Says

Although Santos contends he hasn’t committed any crimes in doing so, some legal analysts say the list of potential charges he could face goes beyond false statements about his financial disclosure; the congressman-elect could be also charged with wire fraud. “He—not just embellished but—outright lied on his resume to attract not only voters, but donors,” former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade told MSNBC on Tuesday. “That could be a scheme or artifice to defraud by which he used wire transmissions, a website....

George Santos Faces Up To Five Years In Prison If Convicted Of Fraud

Back in 2008, according to Brazilian prosecutors, the then-19-year-old Santos used a stolen checkbook and a false name to spend nearly $700 in fraudulent purchases at a clothing store in the city of Niterói, outside Rio de Janeiro. His mother later told police that Santos had stolen a check from a man she used to work for. In 2009, Santos admitted to the crime, writing on social-media website Orkut that he knew he “screwed up,” but wanted to pay back the shop owner....

Georgetown Law Self Cancels Its Elite Status Opinion

An examination of Treanor’s leadership by a jury of his peers should convict him of this weighty charge. Last March, someone leaked a video of professor Sandra Sellers lamenting that black students tended to score poorly on her examinations. Treanor publicly condemned her without speaking to her. Georgetown then violated its own policy and American Association of University Professors’ guidelines and fired Sellers without any due process. I asked Treanor: Why condemn Sellers before speaking with her?...

Georgia Announces Limited Signature Match Audit After Pressure From Trump

The limited signature check audit—which is unprecedented—will determine whether voter signatures on envelopes match those on file for registered voters in Georgia’s third most populous county. Georgia’s leaders decided to carry out the audit in a bid to build confidence in the process, even though there is no evidence to suggest there was any widespread problem with absentee ballot signature verifications when votes were initially counted. “I feel we need to take steps to restore confidence in our elections,” Raffensperger, a Republican, said during a press conference on Monday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported....

Tuesday’s indictment of Long by a Fulton County grand jury is regarding the deaths of Suncha Kim, 69, Soon Chung Park, 74, Hyun Jung Grant, 51, and Yong Ae Yue, 63, at two separate locations....

Georgia Mayor Says Kemp Does Not Give A Damn About Us After Governor Voids Mask Mandates

The Wednesday executive order, called the “Empowering a Healthy Georgia Act,” strongly encourages Georgians to wear masks in public, but voids any local mandate requiring a person to do so. The executive order came as Georgia is seeing an uptick in new cases of COVID-19 and sparked criticism from state and local officials. Johnson, who was the first local official to issue a mask mandate, posted on Twitter that it’s “officially official” that “Governor Kemp does not give a damn about us....

Louisiana has already moved its primary election from April 4 to June 20. The Georgia primary scheduled for March 24 has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 9, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Events are moving rapidly and my highest priority is protecting the health of our poll workers, their families, and the community at large,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whose office oversees elections.

Georgia S Kirby Smart Says He Has Confidence In Stetson Bennett After Qb Struggles Late Vs. Alabama

But on Saturday, Bennett ran into his first major challenge of the season. Facing No. 3 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, Bennett performed well, completing 29-of-48 passes for 340 yards with three touchdowns. However, his second half was marred by a pair of interceptions, including a back-breaking pick-six in the fourth quarter, as the Crimson Tide routed the previously undefeated, No. 1 Bulldogs 41-24. Georgia is still likely in the College Football Playoff, all but certain to pick up the No....

Georgia State Students Want Racist Henry Grady Statue Moved But The Law Bans It

Grady’s contributions to the state landed his name on a hospital, multiple schools and streets, and the statue characterizes him as an “orator,” “journalist” and “patriot.” Students agree that Grady made an impact on Atlanta, but as an advocate of white supremacy, they say, it’s important that people see the whole picture of his life, including the negative parts. “These monuments pretend that people like Henry Grady only did good things....

Germ Warfare

The fact is, Smashing Pumpkins rules alternative rock in 1996. And that’s a strange place for alternative rock to be. Ever since the genre broke through commercially in 1991, Corgan has been a kind of runner-up hero. In the tortured ““I hate myself, I want to die’’ category, he just couldn’t compete with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, who did die, and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, who complained so tiresomely about his fame that one band, Oasis, publicly wished he’d die....

German State Appoints Minister Of Bratwurst To Push Prized Pork Product

And there’s no place where it’s a bigger deal than in the state of Thüringen, home to the legendary Thüringer Bratwurst. If there was such a thing as a Bratwurst kingdom, the central German state would be it—it has long had a Bratwurst King. And on Aug. 16, the regional bratwurst interest organization—yes, there is such a thing—took things a step further by appointing the first Minister of Bratwurst in Thüringen to make sure the fresh link sausage gets its due....

Germany 1.0

Three major forces appear to be driving this awakening in the world’s third largest economy: greater efficiency in the labor market (as unions weaken and corporations hire more temp and part-time workers) in corporate organization and in the use of capital (plants and equipment). Of these three forces, the newest, most important and least well recognized is the capital revolution. German production has always been seen as a model of efficiency, obscuring the fact that it lagged behind in adopting new information technologies–the elixir of the Anglo-Saxon productivity revival of the late 1990s....

Germany S Chaotic Spring

The strikes were the largest in western Germany’s postwar history. They reflected not only the eternal quest for more money but also divisions between the two Germanys in the aftermath of unification. The annual cost to the western part of the country is now more than $120 billion per year, far more than Chancellor Helmut Kohl forecast in the heady days just after the Berlin wall fell. And the average west German is paying the bill, in the form of higher taxes and a 4....
