Conspiracy to Commit Offenses Against the U.S.: Santos was charged with one count of violating 18 U.S. Code § 371 for a scheme in which he allegedly made up false campaign contributions in order to obtain support from a national political committee. The statute prohibits at least two people from “conspir[ing] either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose,” and doing anything to take action on that conspiracy, and is punishable by a fine and/or up to five years in prison.
False Statements: Santos faces four counts for allegedly making false statements on campaign finance reports in 2021 and April 2022 and House disclosure reports in 2020 and 2022, which are punishable by a fine and/or up to five years in prison.
Falsification of a Record or Document: Santos has been charged with two counts of falsifying documents for making allegedly false entries in his 2021 year-end and April 2022 quarterly campaign finance reports, which is punishable by a fine and/or up to 20 years in prison.
So why do the MAGA MORONS only object to Trump being charged but are fine with Santos being expelled from Congress and criminally charged?
Because they’re morons!
