1. What is the context for the lie?

Are they testifying?

2. Penalty ? They are above the law

4. Kind of what I thought.

So if McCarthy was called to testify he could say "I don't know what you are talking about. Jan 6 was just a normal boring day in the senate. Nothing happened at all."

3. for republicans at least, the penalty is getting promoted to party leadership.

6. I'd like to know what the penalty is for senators functioning as jurors...

collaborating at any level with the defendant. That doesn't seem right.

And, yes, I realize that impeachment isn't the same as a regular trial but still...

7. In Alabama, if you are a Republican

I think the penalty is re-election
