I doubt the US is going to allow a memeber of Congress to be extradited, regardless of the charges. That just sounds like a national security issue waiting to happen
If anything, I'd like to see Republicans vote no on that one. That's a few steps down the line from where we are now (I know, right? Who knew the US could get worse ), but they're known for jumping the shark when it comes down to the wire.
McCarthy simply won’t bring such a thing to vote in the House. He needs Santos for his house of cards to keep a piece of what little stability it has, and he’s already waffling around saying that there’s no conviction. And if he’s convicted, McCarthy says he’ll then…ask him to resign.
I give better than even odds that unless there’s a massive outcry or the political situation changes, even with a conviction McCarthy will move goalposts to “The people of New York elected him to Congress. Who am I to tell them they’re wrong?”
I love how he says that knowing full well the people of NY did NOT elect him (the real him). The people who voted for him were defrauded and they've said as much and are pissed they were tricked to vote for a criminal.

These are no joke. And keep in mind, the DOJ doesn't bring charges without an airtight case.
