Reply to comment by mowotlarx in George Santos: “I have done nothing unethical” by newzee1

I understand that Brazil is moving forward with a criminal fraud case against him. He could be extradited to face those charges.

Extraditing a sitting U.S. House member to Brazil on credit card fraud charges? I'm no expert in our country's extradition agreements with Brazil, but I would be shocked if that happened.

Yeah. I’ve never heard of that happening. Seems like he’s probably done some serious shit here.

The tacit implication of your comment is that it must be serious shit... if they're considering extradition.

No one has mentioned extradition. Brazil authorities are at a maximum seeking his response to this, not attempting to have him flown to Brazil.
