George Santos @MrSantosNY - The world does not yet accurately know my co-defendant and former campaign aide Sam Miele, but he is one of very few to credit for one of the biggest upsets ever in American politics my successful 2022 campaign for Congress. In 2019, when all Republican elites dismissed the idea of a newcomer like myself entering the political arena, Sam saw an opportunity to build an entire campaign from the ground up in a district that had been controlled by the Democrats for decades and flip it red/for TRUMP. We had nothing. No money, no marketing, no structure whatsover. As staff would often jump ship, the 20 something year old would soon cultivate a multi-million dollar operation legitimately and legally by not only raising large sums of money, but also by leading all facets of the campaign with an iron fist. What he accomplished is nothing short of amazing, and a few greedy mistakes along the way will just never undermine that fact.
As President Trump knows all too well, we live in an era where those who are caught in scandals attempt to rip down their boss in order to save face and to lighten the blow on themselves. Sam Miele did the opposite. He stayed silent from the very beginning in both the media and the courtroom with the world on his shoulders, ignoring all the false media stories about him and fought the full weight of the U.S. government during my unraveling. He accepted responsibility of his own actions and even paid back all restitution IN FULL, a rarity in this system. Not once, however, did the guy beg or plead for leniency, even as he was looking at up to 20 years in prison. He took everything head on.
Yet Sam's toughness and intelligence are not only why he is highly respected in politics, but also in prison. While I arrived in distraught, what I witnessed on day one in the very same facility was a confident man who was in full control and stood his ground in even the harshest of situations, with everyone from white collar criminals to drug offenders to ex gang members wanting to be associated with him. He was seen as the man who disrupted Washington; the man who beat its hypocrites at their own game; the man who delivered Republicans a win for the ages. But he also always helped any inmate in need who struggled in their new environment. There was just no fear.
As I sit here with my freedom to write this, I hold an unbearable amount of guilt for how my past poor choices have changed him forever, and I cannot stress enough that Sam Miele does not belong in federal prison.
With overwhelming support, I have formally asked @POTUS to commute the sentence of Sam Miele, one of the best political operatives for the Trump agenda. He was treated extremely unfairly during the process, has paid back every penny in restitution, and is a victim of arbitrary sentencing. Given his high demand for after his release and the opportunities that are lined up, I know that he will be an extremely productive member of society.

G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily - I could never at any time understand why there is supposed to be something insolent and intolerant about a man asserting that he has the Truth, and therefore proposes to persuade as many people as possible that it is the Truth.

Glenn Beck @glennbeck - Video: The Mexican drug cartels' brutality is RELIGIOUS and SATANIC, former cartel hunter Dave Franke warns. He saw their devotion to "the Saint of Death" firsthand: "It's 100% EVIL. It's a 'saint' that gives them permission to do whatever they want, torture & kill whoever they want."
