"Those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy, I'm going to see they are held accountable, and if necessary, ensure that they don't serve in Congress, she said.

"SNIP.....
Here's what Rep. Mikie Sherrill stated during a livestream last night. Via Northjersey.com:
We cant have a democracy if members of Congress are actively helping the president overturn the elections results.
And so not only do I intend to see that the president is removed and never runs for office again and doesnt have access to classified material, I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him; those members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on Jan. 5 a reconnaissance for the next day; those members of Congress that incited this violent crowd; those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy; I'm going to see they are held accountable, and if necessary, ensure that they don't serve in Congress.
Is she exaggerating? Seems unlikely, she's a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, and a former federal prosecutor. Not a touchy feely sort, is what I'm saying.

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.

Is there any way to get the citizen investigators going through the Parler data to look to see if any of the Parler posts from Jan 5th came from the Capitol Building. I know they have lots from the 6th, but this would be a way to hone in on the central cabal.

I do believe that something was going on, Clyburn told CBS anchor Lana Zak. They knew where to go. I've been told
by some other Congress people that their staff are saying that they saw people being allowed into the building through side doors. Who opened those side doors for these protesters, or I call them these mobsters, to come into the building, not through the main entrance where magnetometers are but through side doors. Yes, somebody on the inside of those buildings were complicit in this.
