I mean, they all do, don't they? Why is he being singled out?
The whole group of them (Congress, politicians) have vast funds made available to them. Only a few good men and women don't succumb to constant and unnecessary 'business travel' to exotic places, limousine services, hotels, food & expenses for said 'business travel', large hosted fundraising parties, 'advertising', 'marketing', and scores of 'employees, assistants' the list goes on...
Um, the dude has lied about virtually every aspect of his life.
He not only didn't graduate from college like he claimed to, but he claimed he was on a volleyball scholarship. I mean look at him. Pick a lie that works.
He not only was spending his campaign money on Botox and Sephora, HE STOLE THE IDENTIES OF HIS campaign contributors and then STOLE MORE MONEY FROM THEM
From his indictment
The Credit Card Fraud Scheme
In addition, between approximately December 2021 and August 2022, Santos devised and executed a fraudulent scheme to steal the personal identity and financial information of contributors to his campaign. He then charged contributors’ credit cards repeatedly, without their authorization. Because of these unauthorized transactions, funds were transferred to Santos’s campaign, to the campaigns of other candidates for elected office, and to his own bank account. To conceal the true source of these funds and to circumvent campaign contribution limits, Santos falsely represented that some of the campaign contributions were made by other persons, such as his relatives or associates, rather than the true cardholders. Santos did not have authorization to use their names in this way.
There's a difference between walking up to the line or putting a toe over the line and taking a dump on it and setting off a flare gun.

The method used also implies that Santos is intellectually challenged and was likely "assisted" with the logistics of this crackhead level theft that was bound to fail and be exposed at some point. Credit card theft? By a politician. Maybe intellectually challenged doesn't quite go far enough.
Reminds me of how the FBeye pick their mark, devise and plan the crime, then have the mark either carry it out or be materially involved. Kind of like the plan to kidnap that governor.
With Santos it appears they or another alphabet also do this (set up/entrapment) to politicians.

I don't think he's an idiot. I think He's just completely brazen. There was a check fraud case against him before he got into politics. His most recent job was shut down by the SEC as a Ponzi scheme in 2021
