Reply to comment by Luke90210 in George Santos' ex says congressman will never resign because 'his ego is too big' | CNN Politics by iv2892

Being in congress is probably his greatest shield against indictment. If Republicans in the House and donors won't lean on him to resign he wont resign when charges seem imminent. I think he plays this out until his term is up in 2024 or he gets the cuffs slapped on him.

If you were in his lying shoes and offered a plea deal to stay out of prison and resign, what would you choose? Its not like anyone is offering him a pundit job after this. I don't think Uber would give him a chance.

I don't think the entities prosecuting him are going to take "step down and out of the spotlight and this goes away".

Prosecutors offer deals for a sure win over a possible loss all the time.
