3. Same here. As we discussed back in the day, TFG should have been prohibited from running for ANY public office

According to the Constitution, Amendment 14, Section 3, because he was an insurrectionist. And he wasn't just a participant, he intentionally incited it. And that should count against any of his Congressional co-conspirators as well - but when was the investigation?? Back in the day we also heard that there was going to be an investigation into those members of Congress who gave "Capitol Tours" just prior to January 6th (even though the Capitol was closed to tourist visits due to the pandemic), but those investigations/prosecutions never materialized, either. If only these prosecutions had taken place in a timely manner, we wouldn't be where we are now.
