Brazil Wants You, George! They have a few questions!!

As Political Wire points out, it’s probably not a great idea to run for Congress if you have an outstanding warrant for your arrest in another country. Brazil, under the new Lula administration, is going to reopen the theft case against George Santos. politicalwire.com/…

The NY Times says that Brazil is preparing to reimplement the 2008 fraud charges against Santos that were suspended because Santos left the country and the authorities could not find him to continue the case.



IMO, the irony is that a crime committed before one enters Congress would be a way for the Biden Administration to get rid of a really annoying new congressman for very legitimate reasons that could not be interrupted by Congress.



Lawyers, any thoughts on how the attempted extradition of a sitting Congressman might play out in the US legal system?

Hey, if we can, let’s extradite Santos—like tomorrow?!!
