    It’s interesting that they’re even talking about expulsion.

    Seems like he should be being arraigned. These aren’t ethics violations, they’re felonies.

      Pretty sure he can be a rep while in jail. Expelling him is the easiest way to remove him from congress.

        Right. So make him do that. Having a convicted felon try and hold sway from jail while he’s being expelled is more agonizing for the republicans. Why would the Democrats want him out before he’s a face on a TV in an orange jumpsuit?

        Are the police having a hard time finding a guy who flies 4 times a week minimum?

          No, the problem is that Santos is both the Queen of Wales and the capital of Uruguay, so there’s a level of diplomatic immunity involved.
