I feel like we're about to learn some damning revelations on some meme eta of Congress.
Im crying too.
Fuck those terrorists and a pox on their families. Imagine taking office only for the purpose of destroying the Republic.

What can they do if found guilty? Recalled remove from congress or jail or just a slap on wrist and fines?
Doubt it will happen but if Cruz gets procecuted 2021 will officially be better then 2020. That sniveling rat needs to get out of politics yesterday. It will most likely be limited to the ones that help the day of though.
You figure that unlike our President congressmen aren't immune to prosecution. If the Fed/DC starts laying out charges, there's probably a relatively easy path to get rid of them based on that they got arrested on serious offenses. Not like you can serve in jail.
So trial and likely jail would be an assured outcome. They would likely be removed from their respective caucus and then if they don't resign(which they will be pushed to do), a removal vote would likely happen
They're not protected like the president. They can be prosecuted at any time. They can be arrested and thrown in jail like any of the rioters.
You really think it would be a good movie? If they are too accurate no one will believe it. Movie villains being one dimensional and too evil doesn't make an interesting character. Theres no way to portray the real thing without comming off as cartoony and corny.
Imagine if a few Republicans get removed from their duties and special elections are held in their respective states. That'd certainly be interesting, to say the least.
Hopefully this is a wake up call that the GOP shouldn't be viewed or treated as just "the other party". Something is inherently wrong with the party itself if it breeds and gives power to people who even entertain the idea of so much of the BS that the GOP actually has outright tried.
Use their platform in Congress and conservative media to play the victim and scream about conspiracy theories against them.
They can remove them under the 14th Amendment, which prevents anyone found of helping those involved in seditious acts from holding public office. Pelosi raised this Amendment in a letter to the caucus last week.
Section 3
No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
If they are found guilty most resign from congress and if not the rules of that state govern how to replace them.
But this is criminal and separate from Congress. If they are guilty its just like with any other crime. You get arrested, arraigned, bail and have a trial.
Why do you think republicans wanted to move on from this and starting talking about unity, they know alot of them are involved in a failed coup.
This is starting to feel like the Star Wars Prequels with the Jedi Council and Palpatine...

Perfect. Anyone who was complicit should be charged with insurrection and never able to hold public office again.
One of the Stop the Steal organizers specifically mentioned Gosar, Biggs, and Brooks as congressmen he was working with. And Boebbert seemed to inadvertently out herself on Twitter, when she took offense at Sean Patrick Maloney accusing her of complicity despite not having mentioned her by name lol
