George Santos has until Friday at noon to appeal to a higher court.

Can I get this in Layman's terms? No idea what this really means. Good or bad if we don't like Santos?

He's trying to hide who posted his bail. Releasing the information is bad for him.

These are the bond guarantors that Sam tell us is willing to go to prison over rather than reveal.

His original guarantors bailed on him and he had to create a last minute arrangement. He either worked with the mob, some of the worst donors imaginable, or forged his own bail with illegal funds.

If the New York young republican club is bankrolling Santos, it'll come out.

George Santos was indicted on multiple federal charges and was arrested. He was given a $500,000 bond. George Santos likely doesn't have that kind of cash, but it appears some people paid the money for him so he could get out of jail the same day. George Santos doesn't want people to find out who paid for him to get out of jail.

I can't remember who the entity was, but someone filed for the identity of the people who paid for his bond to be unsealed so the public would know who did it. George Santos doesn't want this to happen. The magistrate judge handling the case gave George Santos until 5pm on Monday (yesterday) to appeal the release of the records.

This morning, the magistrate judge agreed to unseal the records, but is giving George Santos until Friday at noon to appeal this ruling.

Appreciate the break down!

It looks like it might have been multiple news outlets that filed to have the records unsealed.

Thats something the people should know. Hes somehow a member of congress.

I'm guessing George Santos is going to appeal this all the way up to the supreme court. He'll likely have to come up with a better argument than his initial appeal to be successful, though... We'll see.

Mote like he's given time to appeal because when the info is released, the appeal is rendered mute. Even if we don't like some people, they are still entitled to due process under the law.

What were the grounds for his initial appeal? (I'm totally clueless if the identity of bail guarantors is normally private etc...)

Other republicans probably knew he was a fraud the whole time and used him to launder money or something. Theres no way no one did any research into his background or credentials

Santos is not getting good legal representation. He and his lawyer are not prepared to deal with the charges. I don't know who's going to swoop in and help him.

It was something along the lines of he'd rather sit in jail until trial than reveal their names and being worried about their safety if their names were released.

I don't either. I just want to see what argument he uses and then how long it takes before it makes its way into a law 101 class on what not to do.
