If Santos is found guilty he will be imprisoned, He cannot sit in the House of Representatives no matter how much McDirty whines.

Maybe he can just "tweet" it in, like Trump.

If Santos is found guilty of financial and/or election crimes, he might be fined rather than jailed. Or he might drag it out past the next House election.

On the other hand, why drag it out? He's not gonna win again.

Why? Partly for the congressional salary, but more because he would expect to be rewarded for keeping the seat from being filled by a Dem. Ordinarily, you could expect the Rs to prevent Santos at least from running again, but with this crew you never know.
