Because, in order to hold the mob organization together, the boss must show some minimal amount of loyalty to the minions, and do so publicly:<\/p>\n
\nDisgraced former Rep. George Santos,\u00a0who had been serving a seven-year term<\/a>\u00a0for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress, was released from prison on Friday night after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence, his lawyer tells CNN.<\/p>\n
Trump first announced the commutation on Truth Social on Friday evening, and, according to attorney Joseph Murray, Santos\u2019 family picked him up from the prison about five hours later.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge Santos was somewhat of a \u2018rogue,\u2019 but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren\u2019t forced to serve seven years in prison,\u201d the president wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeorge has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life,\u201d Trump added.

Notice the weakness of the President’s reasoning.<\/p>\n
But I doubt Santos could be re-elected to his former seat; perhaps he could be elected to some other district’s seat, but I dunno. He’d have to run around screaming he was mistreated until he was hoarse, and, looking at his record, he’s little more than a pretty face.<\/p>\n
