Well, folks, after a lengthy battle, George Santos was finally forced to allow the court
to release the names of the individuals who posted his bail, his $500,000 bond, so that
he didn't have to sit in prison until his trial.
Now, Santos through his lawyer, had previously said, well, the lawyer said, my client would
rather surrender to pretrial detainment than subject these sheers to what will inevitably
come, given the political temperature in this country and acts of political violence that
occur, the privacy interests of these sheers are more, are far more concerning, especially
considering their ages and respective employment.
So we were led to believe, like, obviously these are some super secret people that nobody
would suspect this whole thing would be damaging to George Santos, and he'd rather sit in jail
than tell us who these people are.
Well, now we know who they are.
Get this.
It was his dad and his aunt.
That's it.
It's his dad and his aunt George Santos is a drama queen.
George Santos just wanted the attention.
He wanted to make it seem like a big deal when all he had to do back then was just be
like, ah, it was my dad and my aunt back off.
That would've been the end of it, by the way.
That would've been the end of it.
And in fact, the judge probably wouldn't have even released the names of those people had
you just agreed to say, listen, can we just say it's my dad and my aunt, without giving
their actual names?
Which by the way, people could find online easily.
But he is the one who made this into a big deal.
He is the one who acted like he had something to hide when again, all he had to do from
day one is be, yeah, it was my dad.
This is my family.
Like, what, what do y'all care?
It was my family that bailed me outta jail.
They didn't want to, didn't wanna see me in jail.
Like, that's it.
Here's the thing that drives me crazier.
Well, it all drives me crazy, but, uh, I've seen people ever since the names were released
on Twitter, uh, you know, kind of pushing conspiracy theories, I guess you'll call 'em
about, there's no way, you know, George Santos father and his aunt, given their jobs, they
didn't have $500 to pay his bond.
And to the people saying that, let me first of all congratulate you on clearly never having
to bail anyone out of jail.
Not a pleasant experience, but because the bond was $500,000 doesn't mean they paid $500,000.
And that's what the folks on Twitter don't understand.
Like, listen, everybody, I don't, I don't know if y'all know this.
Again, if you've never bailed anybody out, I'll forgive you for not knowing it.
You don't pay that bond.
That what you pay the bond, you don't pay the amount that it's set for.
You pay a percentage of it.
Then if the person doesn't show up in court, you're then liable for the entire amount.
That's where that is.
Like, that's actually what bounty hunters do, is they go around and they find people
who skip bond .
This is so ridiculous.
How are there so many people in this country who don't know how Bond works?
Again, kudos to you if you've never had to pay it.
, those of us that have understand, like they didn't pay $500,000 at most, they
may have paid about 50,000, which if you combine the two, especially if George Santo's dad
had been given any money by Santos because Santos allegedly has so much, then that would
explain it.
Like there, there's no grand mystery here.
There's no grand conspiracy.
They have to answer questions about where they got the money, all of that.
Like they show up in court, which they did.
They have to answer these questions.
There's no grand conspiracy folks.
It's just George Santos wanting the drama, wanting the uh, uh, attention and wanting
to create this mystery.
Like, oh, I'm not gonna tell you.
And then it's like, oh, it's his dad and his aunt.
It's the dumbest thing ever.
And that really says a lot, especially when dealing with a guy like Santos.
