What happens if a Senator or Rep is convicted of a serious crime? Example - Omar whatever her real name is, the Somalian cockroach, is being investigated for not just financial crimes but immigration fraud. Suppose she is convicted. Does she get a free pass, or other?

Interesting Question. I attempted to research that. About the best that I can say is.. even if arrested, sentenced, and thrown in jail, congress critters are still in office. Only if expelled by 2/3 vote does that change.
Chances of that 2/3 at present, are slim and none-slim was seen riding a fast horse out of DC.
The Ohio representative, Trafficant, the guy with the racoon toupee, was convicted and sentenced while still serving in the House. The “Beam Me Up, Mr. Speaker” guy.
I don’t believe he was able to vote from his cell.

No one said he was able to vote. That was not the question. Removal takes 2/3 vote period.
Removing their vote is even more effective than vacating the office, and letting another commie vote in their place.
EVERY single Democrat in office is a felon (and worse). They get caught day after day. They just rarely get charged, or prosecuted, or punished.
If a huge chunk of the commie Democrats were properly locked up, and not allowed to vote from their cells, then the House would vote by quorum, with Republican votes being the majority (i.e. no Nancy as Speaker).
