      You're not supposed to oust a member of Congress just for lying. That isn't the bar to meet. Not even criminal charges are the appropriate bar, which is why this has only happened like 5 or 6 times before this.
      If criminal allegations or charges were enough, we'd be seeing Bob Menendez (D) also being kicked out right now since he's facing bribery charges.

    When asked if one of the most corrupt representatives in recent memory was living up to Congressional ethical standards, only 73% of the House could bring themselves to say “No“: a weak “C” grade. Kudos to those Republicans who voted to expel Santos despite the demands of their leadership, but they only totaled 48% of the Republican caucus: a solid “F”.
    311Y + 114N 425T 311/425 = 73%

    It is always bothersome to me when a character like Santos is referred to in any way as smart. Predators are not smart, they are instinctive and cunning, in the way they deceive and strike. Even when discovered and confronted they have a well rehearsed escape plan that is usually a bigger lie than the first. After all; the predator will rationalize, I had them before, now I'll just up the anti. Because the victims are honest people the thought that it could be a lie is only a remote consideration. It is what the deceitful count on. Like Trump has done to millions of good Americans.

You can tell when someone is lying as after they have spoken they look around the room to see if there words hit the spot. If they don't he will try another tactic until it does.
