The Jan 6th Committee is going to refer Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Kevin McCarthy to the House Bipartisan Ethics Committee because they refused to comply with the Jan 6th Committee’s subpoena. This is, of course, a naive gesture, for these four representatives probably don’t know what ethics has to do with it, and if they do, I’m sure that they would deny that ethical restraints apply to them and their behavior: “We don’t need no stinking ethics!”.

This referral by the Jan 6 Committee is like complaining because an alcoholic takes an extra sip of cough syrup. These four men are co-conspirators with Donald Trump, and, as such, they are criminals. When Oh when are people in public life going to admit the dimensions of the Trump coup and the grave guilt of all who were involved in it.
