1. Members of Congress generally can't be sued for what they do officially because they are covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act. They also have limited immunity derived from the Speech and Debate Clause Art. I, Sec. 6, para 1 that provides as follows:
2..in all Cases, except Treason, Felony & Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, & in going to & from the same; & for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
3. IMO joining conspiracy to overthrow US with force, as Trump & Flynn have admitted they intend, would be treason and a felony so no Congressional immunity. Focused just on advocating overthrow, by voting to advance Trump's announced plan, IMO a reasonable juror
