Can Democrats subpoena Nunes if they take the House or Senate?

[Renew Deal]

Can a congressman be subpoenaed by congress for his actions in congress? Nunes was also part of the Trump transition team. Can Nunes be subpoenaed over that? What if he loses? I’d love to see the traitor dragged in from of Jerry Nadlers committee.

1. not only can he be subpoened, but if he gets re-elected

he can be dragged before the Ethics committee.

[Renew Deal]

2. Only if a Republican on the committee agrees

6. Once they took the House or Senate, as the OP poses, its Committee would have a Dem. majority (n/t)

[Renew Deal]

7. The ethics committee is always evenly split

[FreepFryer]

9. OH ! Ethics Committee. Missed that. You are absolutely correct. Let's get a Republican then! Cheers

3. A Congress person can be investigated by Congress for unethical behavior. They can also be

impeached or censured by Congress.

If there is evidence that they may have committed a crime they can also be indicted by a grand jury

[Renew Deal]

4. I get that, but can they be compelled to testify on their actions for another investigation?

Or are they limited to the Ethics committee?

5. The Speech or Debate clause in the Constitution says probably not:

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 says: "...for any Speech or Debate in either House, they (members of Congress) shall not be questioned in any other place." So he probably couldn't be subpoenaed to testify regarding his actions in Congress. However, he probably could be questioned about what he did on the transition team.

8. He's probably the congressman mentioned in the indictment as wanting and getting oppo

research from the hackers.
