  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 84%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Rep. George Santos is stepping down from his committee assignments, he informed House GOP colleagues on Tuesday in a conference meeting.
  The House GOP Steering Committee, the panel of Republican leaders who assign committees, had assigned Santos to the Small Business Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee earlier this month.
  The Speaker said the spots initially set aside for Santos could be filled "On a temporary basis," adding that Santos will "Be able to get committees back" once he is cleared.

context: Now he can collect a government paycheck while doing nothing. >
  
  I dunno, better that than collecting a government paycheck to fuck us all over in those committees. 
  I'd still rather not he get paid at all from our taxes, but you know. Progress. Baby steps. >
  
  Yeah he would do nothing but harm if he actually did anything >
  
  It's been a scam the whole time to get that sweet sweet congressional retirement pay. >
  
  If he somehow gets kicked from the House they need to figure out how to not give him that. I will be very disappointed with my tax $ paying him the rest of his life >
  
  He would have had to serve 5 year’s minimum I believe to be eligible. >
  
  I'd like him to serve 5 years minimum elsewhere >
  
  
  Santos called himself a “distraction.”
  
  As if House Republicans have a coherent agenda. >
  
  Now step down from Congress. >
  
  He's hoping to fly under the radar long enough to survive the scandal. Don't fall for it. >
  
  I don't think he can clear the background hurdles in order to have access to confidential information for those assignments. >
  
  Well, it’s inappropriate for the king to serve on a House committee. >
  
  King? I thought Santos was a Queen? >
  
  Why not both? >
  
  All hail the King of Queens >
  
  As somebody who is very pro UBI and whatnot, I kinda don't hate that side of the grift that he's pulling. I do hate the lying to his constituents and damage he could have done policy wise. >
  
  Is George Santos even his real name? >
  
  It’s whatever the FS B assigns him.
