There is a huge difference in investigating what happened on January 6th and investigating indictments of Trump. One was a legitimate attempt to find out what happened on the day of the Washington riot where a group of people invaded our capital building to stop the counting of electoral votes for president. The other is an attempt to stop the legitimate work of the judicial system for one man, Trump. Are they now going to investigate every indictment of every person indicted in the USA, NO. This is strictly going after the indictments that have to do with Trump and no one else, after Trump pleaded with them to do so. The GOP in Washington is trying to intimidate or defund the Federal trials and the GOP in Georgia is going to stop the trial there led by DA Fani WiIlis by firing her. In the end, this is all obstruction of justice. We will have to take down all of the statues that show a blind justice if this works for the GOP and Trump.

They deserve it, starting with Gym Jordan. Whatever happened to federalism, GOPers?
 
I think they are getting close but I very much doubt Garland would go there. They sure do have a nerve talking about the weaponization of government in aid of their politics.

In general, Congress is not held liable for their actions while on the floor of Congress. One example
"The caning of Charles Sumner, or the Brooks–Sumner Affair, occurred on May 22, 1856, in the United States Senate chamber, when Representative Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina, used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner, an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts."

Caning of Charles Sumner - Wikipedia

The beaten Senator was unable to return to the Senate for over two years, and the attacking Senator was not charged with any crime.

No.

Congress cannot be charged with a crime for engaging in one of their constitutional duties...no matter how much you might hate them for doing so.

Your favorite corrupt lawfare tactics cannot be used against Congress.

The one that's gunna ream Donald....
It's that pesky fake electors scheme he and his co-conspirators hatched.
Did you see the look in his eyes in his mug shot?
It's chilling.
Dude knows what's going down.
