These senators got caught, but I bet there likely 50-100 more senators doing the same crap.

Probably quite true, to varying degrees. Its tough be honest when you have access to a lot of free money and there is relatively little fear of getting caught and the consequences, if you do get caught, are relatively minor. Its not like you will probably lose your job. (I believe only one Senator in the history of the Senate has actually been fired... and then when he was, he got to collect his Senate pension which was almost equal to his Senate salary).
