Where's the subpoenas for Gosar and Biggs?

They are EQUALLY guilty of treason.

Brooks deleted his initial tweet about being served and replaced it with one that crops more of his laptop, which appears to have his passwords taped to it (blocked out in green).

But for criminal charges, members of Congress are not immune.

Then to couple that to the First Amendment??? SMDH The 1st isn't a giant, bulletproof tarp you can roll out any time you want. Try threatening someone's life, then claim it's protected free speech. Now, see if the prosecutor even blinks.

their position is you're allowed to attempt to kill someone or actually kill someone and still have immunity

and not just kill some random person ---- kill your political opponent in order to overthrow the very body on which you are basing your immunity claim

It's just SOP for them. And, whether it's a well thought-out scheme or just something they do, they get enough positive response to any old garbage they spew, and the results range from OK to total success. Only a fool would abandon a strategy that's working for them.
