The House Ethics Committee is unique amongst all the Congressional committees...

...in that, it is made up of 10 members, totally bi-partisan with equal numbers from each Party.

There is a high likelihood that several members of Congress will be referred to the Ethics Committee for their parts in the attempted coup and the January 6th insurrection.

It is unlikely that there will be any quick, anonymous verdict to clear any of the people that will be referred to the Ethics Committee.

If they cannot clear their names, they can run for re-election in 2024 with the charges hanging over their heads.

The Crime of this Century is not going away.

They do not want the exposure or the publicity.
