Or, and hear me out here, they heard that the investigative committee was set to release their findings in 2 weeks, and wanted that process to work itself out first.

Lol I can't wait to see this investigative committees findings... and the non-response from Republicans.

I'll buy this until those findings are released. If he's not out after that, I'm going with "We have 30 Democrats who are as morally bankrupt as the Republicans in Congress."

I'm thinking that's why. He should be run out on a rail, but the other expulsions in our history came after convictions (Three were civil war shenanigans, two for crimes).

All I know is the DoJ doesn't just willy-nilly charge sitting congress critters. They come with a howitzer of evidence.

Seems like there's already ample verified evidence known to the public. More than enough to vote him out.

I can only guess that they prefer a disruptive republican over whoever the GOP pick to replace him until the next election.
