Help me understand this that I bolded below. If Gaetz is indicted for felony and sentenced to at least 2 years in prison, that he must resign from their committees. So, if he were to be indicted for felony and sentenced to 18 months in prison, he doesn't need to resign from their committees. Is this crap for real??!

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana said that House Republicans will "take action" if the Department of Justice files charges against fellow GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz while he is currently under investigation for allegations made against him involving sex trafficking and sex with a minor at news conference held by House Republican leaders on Wednesday.

Scalise added that historically, lawmakers who faced charges have been removed from their committee assignments immediately as a precedent. This echoed the House GOP's internal rules that lawmakers indicted for felonies and sentenced to at least two years in prison must resign from their committees, according to the Associated Press.
 
Wait until all the evidence is in, yet he would surely tell you Trump really won the last election.
