He is ish about everything.
Jokes on them, it's not his real name! >

Joke's on us, you can serve in Congress from prison. So conviction would still leave us with the House having to vote to expel him, and, well... >

Even better, he'd be unable to be present for House votes and his seat wouldn't just be filled with some other scum. >

Even even better, as part of the new House rules package the GOP crafted, they eliminated virtual and proxy voting (because covid backlash requires idiotic steps backward) so he couldn't vote if not present! 
"Checkmate Kevin!" - Also Kevin 🤦‍♂️ >

I’ll believe it when I see it. >

Seeing as how he has not yet been CHARGED (in the US, for this specific crime), or INDICTED, seems premature to talk about convictions. Or sentencing.  Someone needs to get the authors a flow chart of this process. >

As of yet, Brazil hasn't submitted an extradition request. Following that, US authorities would make a determination as to whether to arrest him, then a judge reviews whether the extradition request is lawful, then the Secretary of State makes the final determination as to whether to extradite him. Notably, arrest does not require being charged/indicted in the US, & most extraditions don't include that... as indictments require crimes be committed within US jurisdiction.
I will say, though, that it's unlikely that he would be arrested without permission from the Secretary of State, due to his elected position...and I find it highly unlikely that the SoS would grant an extradition request for a sitting member of Congress for a 15yr old $700 check fraud case. The US regularly rejects around 20% of extradition requests for US citizens, & this would definitely fall in that category.
He'll be tried in absentia, if anything, & possibly convicted in absentia...but that won't change his daily life. >

He will just get a book deal. >

That will likely win him another Pulitzer. >

NY Times Bestseller >

to be fair, these guys get on the best seller list very easily by buying their own damn books with campaign funds. >

Wait…. I’m confused… you can do that? I’m not ironically asking either, like that seems hella illegal lol >

yeah. so let's say he writes a book, his campaign can then take money from their funds/war chest and say they're buying copies of the book for "events" (like hosting a fund raiser where top donors get a signed copy of the book). but these events never need to be realized so they can sit on boxes upon boxes of these books collecting dust while they still count as books sold, making them a best seller. as long as they bought a ton of books one time to be on the best seller list for one week, they can still claim to be a best seller! 
I'm sure it's illegal to some degree, it's pretty unethical (since the books are bought with campaign finances but counts as sales so the author pockets some of it as a cut of the sales), but has pesky rules for us normal folks stopped the ruling class from being shitty? >

The NYT will put a little marker next to Bestsellers that they suspect have achieved their sales through such shady means. >

Interviewer: How do you explain this 4 year gap on your resume? 
Santos: That’s when I went to Yale... 
Interviewer: That’s impressive. You are hired.
Santos: Thanks. I really need this Yob. >

I'm worried this will go over people's heads.  You are an artist. >

Parent poster may be an artist, but not for this - that's a very old joke I remember reading in the 80s. >

I mean, seven years at least. >

Each time he lied should be a separate count in the indictment.
They overcharge if it's black kid accused of shoplifting.  But a Republican Member of Congress gets the most white glove treatment. >

White Supremacist Republican Member of Congress >

Idk if he’s even that anymore, with how much he lies
