The rules are that the person must be a sitting member of either chamber of Congress.

(8,556 posts)The conspiracy theories about this (including those on this site) are ridiculous. Had his brakes been cut or had he died of radiation poisoning from Polonium, then maybe you'd see something in Congress. But most people are going to chalk this one up to heart disease.

(8,556 posts)But in order for there to be political gain, there would have to be genuine reason for suspicion. Heart disease is the number one killer in the country. Like I said, had his house blown up, or even if it had been a suicide, suspicion might make more sense. But a heart attack? They'd be the laughing stock of the country for suggesting foul play here. It would harm the Republican brand, not help it.
The idea that Breitbart was murdered is tinfoil ridiculousness. Congress may be a nest of losers, but you really can't get to that level without having at least a decent grasp on how people think and what they do and don't want to hear. And everybody knows that wasting time with hearings on this would go over like a lead balloon among the general public.
