https://dccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/George-Santos-Research-Book.pdfWHY did DCCC opposition research NOT publicize and keep all this in the media BEFORE the election?

(10,876 posts)Republicans are so much better at digging up dirt, or creating it, and disseminating it.
We need people that are dedicated to this function on a national level and with the capabilities and funding to go into individual states as well.

George Santos listed this address for Devolder Organization LLC.
I'm not a private investigator but it took me all of 30 seconds to find this.
Google Drive shows that it's the office of New Beginnings Ob/Gyn.
There is no Suite 104. However Suite 101 is listed as the office of D & D International Investment Services Inc.
That's the registering agent (given on page 41 of the PDF document)

(18,264 posts)the local, regional, and national media wasn't interested in reporting on Republican lies and corruption during the campaign. That's why the (still ongoing) investigation of Lee Zeldin for illegal coordination with a consortium of superpacs never broke through either.
The careerists in the media had their story line and never budged: the horserace for the governor's seat due to CRIME! CRIME! CRIME! and INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!

(18,264 posts)with highlights to local, regional, and national outlets that same day. The Zimmerman campaign continued to alert press contacts throughout the general election campaign.
The press wasn't interested. They were pushing their their CRIME! CRIME! CRIME! story line, and besides, they were convinced that Santos wouldn't win. The media was as negligent in this instance as they were during the 2016 general.
Here are two interesting reads for some background on how a complacent press helped get Santos elected.

The Right learned to do this decades ago. It's baffling and maddening that we're still playing catch-up with this.
