R Congressmen can run but they cannot hide


The Republicans have won the House. The question is, can they keep it? Members who participated in planning the Insurrection are reportedly nervous, which shows consciousness of guilt.

Will the January 6th Committee hold a hearing to name names? Will their report do so? Will the Lame Duck session pass legislation about whether these members can be seated (without a 14th Amendment 2/3rds vote in each Chamber)? We will see.

What did the Speaker designate know and when did he know it? The Mark Meadows text history is in the hands of the FBI. The Grand Jury could decide who controls Congress. Will indicted members talk about McCarthy? Doh!

Why is this important? The Constitution is important and the 14th Amendment is clear. Also, tax policy will change on January 1st, 2025 as certain provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act expire. The upcoming Congress may act or punt. If they act, what happens with members who were part of the larger January 6th seditious conspiracy is all important.
