Every member of Congress who requested a preemptive pardon from Trump should be viewed by the DOJ as holding up a sign saying please, investigate me.
Anyone who requested a pardon from Trump before he left office has no business being in Congress because they are so corrupt that they are unable to represent the interests of their constituents.
Expulsion would be letting these Republicans off easy, and it needs to happen.

None of those charges or actions of arrest requires a 2/3 vote of the House, nor does Congressional membership convey any immunity from such prosecution.

She not only needs expelled from Congress, but from the whole damn country. Drop here in Afghan, where Taliban can silence her bull shit. She is ranting loud enough, its like she has something to protect.
