"... AND THE R. CONGRESSMAN" makes the (insurrectionist) plot even clearer.
In view of this news, the R congressmen who voted against certification have to be worried about federal prosecution as well.

So far, everyone has been weighing in about the implications of today’s news for tfg, but so far they have failed to notice the implications for R members of Congress like Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy. 1/14
Jordan admitted on Fox News that he did have at least one phone conversation with tfg on Jan 6. McCarthy disclosed that he had as well back in January. 2/14
They (and other Rs like Sen. Ted Cruz) will now be subpoenaed and put under oath by a first-rate and very hostile committee of the House; and they will be investigated for being complicit in a conspiracy to unlawfully overturn the 2020 election. 3/14
The news today is that Trump attempted to pressure the DOJ into falsely claiming that the election was “corrupt” (despite being told that the Department had no evidence that it was) and *to leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen.* 4/14
Many bogus rationales were given by Jordan, Cruz, and others for voting against certification of the election on 1/6, but it takes some thought to realize just how insidious, sinister, and downright *seditious* they were.

Trump intended a coup, and now the question immediately arises: What did key R members of Congress know about it, and when did they know it?

Key R Congressmen will be put under oath about all of this, and it’s not just Trump who is exposed: they are too!
If they were complicit in a conspiracy to overturn an election, they can be sure that the feds will get the goods on them, if they don’t already. 7/14

Keep in mind that all phone calls in and out of the WH are monitored by the Natsec division of the DOJ. That is what common sense about natsec would tell us, and in fact it was pretty much confirmed during the Ukraine impeachment hearings. 8/14
This means that R Congressmen who will be subpoenaed are at extreme risk of perjury. They dare not lie under oath like Roger Stone did (which got Stone a prison sentence that he escaped only because tfg commuted his sentence). 9/14
Federal prosecutors and investigators will be loath to disclose any incriminating phone calls between Trump and R Congressmen. Such disclosures would be explosive and quite possibly problematic politically for the Department.
But they will if they have to. 10/14

I am convinced that the DOJ is prepared to take down Trump and all of his political enablers by any means necessary, if that is what they have to do if the evidence they are putting together shows guilt beyond any reasonable doubt. 11/14
That I believe is the point that was being made by @TomJChicago in a post that I retweeted earlier today: 12/14 
“Hit him w/ everything they’ve got. And they’ve got a lot more.”
Exactly. The DOJ is, in my view, lining things up to go places they have never gone before--and are otherwise loath to go--if the evidence leads them there. 13/14

Today was likely a very bad day, not just for tfg, but for the likes of Jordan, McCarthy, and Cruz. 14/14
