many are welcoming the federal and local investigations into george santos that have begun, even though it s not quite yet clear what crime he may have committed. now, some of the architects of the russia collusion hoax, like disgraced fbi agent peter shrock, were especially thrilled. in fact, strock is now on social media implying without any evidence, no surprise that santos may be a pawn of russian intelligence. now, if you re like most americans, you care about the truth more than partisan politics. but unfortunately, there are too many politicians in cable news shows who only care about partisan political calculations. and that s why they re not willing to call out anyone from their own team as a result, permanent washington is overrun with liars and opportunists who have no problem whatsoever, deceiving the american people just to further their own interests. now, in our interview, jorge santos invoked lies
