Will Arizona's insurrection enablers, Reps. Biggs and Gosar, pay a price?

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection will learn soon if it can subpoena Republican lawmakers who may have information about the attack on the Capitol.

Right at the top of that list, hopefully, will be Arizona Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs.

From the moment former President Donald Trump lost the election, Gosar and Biggs were among the elected officials who ditched their sworn oath to the Constitution in order to spread unfounded claims of election fraud and wild conspiracy theories, and to agitate, inflame and provoke gullible members of the public who so desperately wanted to believe that Trump could not lose.

An organizer of the Jan. 6 events, Ali Alexander, told the committee that he spoke to Biggs in person and had phone conversations with Gosar. (Biggs has denied this. Gosar has avoided the subject.)
