Yes, let's hand a crooked DOJ a weapon to use against conservative Representatives.
Tom Delay comes to mind, when the GOP had a rule to kick Representatives off their Committee assignments if they are ever indicted for any crime. The Rats have no such rule, and the GOP caved to Rat pressure when they wanted to align the GOP rules with the Rats' rules.
All it takes is an indictment to kick people out of power, no conviction required. This is stupid.
