Wondering here. So when Biden wins, and AFTER Rump is charged by the NY AG

[bluestarone]

Maybe the investigation COULD involve sitting RETHUGLICON senators? They could ALSO be charged, and removed!! (wishful thinking?)

1. Doubt it. The NY AG is looking to indict Trump on STATE charges. . .

. . .not federal.

3. The WHOLE family are involved though.

Something could come out with the investigation. They ALL are involved one way or another i think!

4. No matter what happens with the counts

It's time for New York to go after the spawn.

5. Oh MAN i AGREE

8. True, dat. On both federal and state levels.

2. No automatic removal from senate due to conviction......

They would have to be impeached. And that isn't going to happen.

So if they just get ornery, they would continue to hold the seat while in prison.

Typically the scumbags just resign though. They aren't required to however.

6. Impeachment does not apply to the legislative branch, only the executive and judicial branches

Legislators can be removed without impeachment or trial by the house for which they are a member. Senators and Reps can be indicted, tried, convicted, and jailed like normal people. The only restriction is that they cannot be arrested while traveling to or from a congressional session.

7. you are correct - it is not impeachment - but....

It would still be up the senate to remove them, which won't happen unless they have a gop governor, and probably not even then.
