32. Duncan Hunter was stripped of his committee assignments after he was indicted.

He basically did nothing except vote on floor measures for months until he finally pleaded guilty and resigned.

Even Republicans voted to strip him of his committee seats and that was only about 2 years ago, when Dems were in control.

The procedure began with going to the House Ethics Committee, which is what should happen now.
