What could Kevin McCarthy, Mo Brooks, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, and Jim Jordan be thinking?

Wow! They arrested Peter Navarro!?

For contempt of Congress?

Would they have the cajones to arrest a sitting member of Congress?

Lordy! Lordy! Lordy! I hope not!

That would not look good while running for re-election.

Naw! The thought never crossed their minds.

I think they would probably relish the thought of being martyrs to their base.

At least right up to the point where the consequences started to be painful. Which remains to be seen.

This is all just theater to them and being arrested would just be a juicier role.

they lose and the SC backs them up.

If this is NOT going to happen it has to be because the HALF of America that is asleep is WAKENED! somehow

"What do they have me saying on tape?"

The smarter they are, the more fearful they are of the answer to that question.

Voters will elect him against a Democrat even if he's in jail.
