Because the expense account rules are somewhat fuzzy (their intention is clear to most people but apparently not to these three... or at least that's what their argument is)

With respect to your second point, once again, these are not typical employee-employer relationships. For example, as an employee, my employer may dismiss me at any time, without any good reason. Do you think it would be healthy for Canadian democracy it the Prime Minister could dismiss a Senator at any time, without any good reason?

He's not firing them... he's suspending them without pay. They will still continue to be Senators.
I'm sure, if they are proven to be innocent, all pay and all the expense $$ that they returned will be returned back to them.
Just because they are being suspended without pay (hopefully) doesn't mean that any inquiry into their wrongdoing dies with their suspension... and certainly any RCMP investigation won't.
