They Won't even be charged, let alone locked up.
And they're repubs, so they'll be fully supported by their party, regardless of what they're accused of.

All Democrats need to vote to expel these miscreants, and Democratic candidates need to hang "no" votes around the necks of every Republican casting one like a stinking, dead albatross.

Not even Hawley (whose wife clerked for Roberts incidentally)

because they voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
