“The government respectfully submits this letter in connection with the sentencing of defendant George Anthony Devolder Santos, also known as ‘George Santos’ (hereinafter, ‘Santos’). As set forth in the Presentence Investigation Report (‘PSR’), Santos’s advisory Guidelines range is 51 to 63 months’ imprisonment plus a mandatory consecutive term of 24 months. (See PSR 159). The Probation Department has recommended an effective principal sentence of 75 months’ custody (51 months on Count Two, followed by 24 months on Count Six). (See Sent’g Rec dated 2/7/2025). For the reasons that follow, the government submits that an effective sentence of 87 months’ custody (63 months on Count Two, followed by 24 months on Count Six) is necessary to achieve the goals of sentencing in this case,” says a Friday memo from Eastern District of New York prosecutors.
Feels like maybe slightly north of 50/50 that Georgie will be able to successfully lobby the Orange Overlord for a commutation, if not a full pardon. Yeah, it could just as easily go the other way given that Santos is a loser with no use to Donald, even if he is “loyal,” but letting him off the hook would would piss off a lot of libs and create a news cycle that isn’t the stock market crashing.
