Evidence increasingly coming out that several GOP members of Congress assisted the rioters to varying degrees in breaching the Capitol and rioting. Showing them weaknesses and entries and exits to secure areas, that sort of thing. If it is shown that a member of Congress, for example was aware that a group of persons were planning to breach areas of the Capitol where the public is not allowed so as to thwart the process of counting electoral votes, what should happen to that member of Congress?

A check box for ... None of the above would be appreciated. But, as usual, we know you loony libs are always out for blood & to shut-down the opposition. Everyone else, but the high & mighty Democrats, are to shut-up & to move on without any questions that the corrupt Democrats are doing & getting away with..

If we can prove that a member of Congress was aware of a plan to breach the Capitol and stop the vote and that they abetted that plan, then they should be charged with seditious conspiracy, because that's what it would be under law. However, I have serious doubts as to whether that could be reliably proven for a member of Congress. I don't think that someone should be charged if they somehow incidentally helped (for example by giving a tour to constituents) but intent can't be reasonably proven.

Did I miss your thread when elected officials let antifa inside city hall to take over in Seattle, or you only care now?

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Bold my emphasis. It's not a new law.
