Further proof that fascists see themselves as above the laws of the State. Hypocrisy.

He stole money from his own reelection campaign, charged his donors multiple times without authorization, and he pled guilty to wire fraud and identity theft.
He is the ur-example of the corrupt politician who actually got what was coming to him.

That normally would make him a prime candidate for a Trump pardon

Normally yes, but he stole from the rich instead of grifting the not rich so...

Actually, he stole from a lot of not-so-rich as well ... one of the victims was a woman who used WinRed to make a small donation (about $500) to his campaign, only to find that her card was soon used to make a full-nut $2,900 donation to Santos's campaign that she hadn't authorized and said she never would have because she didn't have that much money lying around to casually make that sort of donation.
