The House and Senate have the ability to not accept new members.

If any newly elected members (that includes re-elected members) are implicated before the start of the next session (Jan2?), the respective chamber can choose NOT to seat them.

Does this mean that the CURRENT members (GOP majority) can choose not to seat the implicated incoming members?

I still think you are right to remind folks of this. Whether it is used, or not, remains to be seen. I certainly think the odds are better than 55% that such might eventuate. What to you think the odds are--assuming that convincing evidence of serious guilt about horrific crimes are published beforehand?
