Senate Democrats are preparing an arbitrary, secretive trial for Senators Cruz and Hawley for having dared to question the election results.
One of the infamous tools of British law was the Star Chamber. It was created in the late 15th century as a court of equity and one that could deal with wrongdoing amongst the highest in the land and initially functioned efficiently and openly. By the early years 16th century, though, it had turned into a purely political tool advancing the crown’s interests and breaking those who threatened the king’s power. That perfectly describes the Senate Ethics Committee’s announcement that it will engage in a secretive proceeding to review Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley because they argued that the 2020 presidential election had significant fraud that needed to be investigated.
Of course, even Democrat senators know that objecting to an election does not justify investigating fellow senators. Instead, the charge here is that, by questioning the election results, Cruz and Hawley incited the events at the Capitol on January 6, with the Democrats call an “insurrection” (a word Democrats never used when their supporters stormed Congress and the Senate office buildings in connection with the Kavanaugh hearings).
We know that the Capitol incursion was planned months in advance, that Trump spoke only of peacefully approaching the Capitol (unlike the Democrats’ military branches of BLM and Antifa, which like to storm places), that police invited people in, and that the small percentage of rally attendees who entered the Capitol was already on the move before Trump even finished speaking.
Additionally, we know with certainty that, of the 180 people arrested (out of the hundreds present at the Capitol), some of them were neither Trump supporters nor Republicans:

I think you can lump 90% of the GOP in congress as well. If I were Hawley I would refuse to participate and call for an open hearing in the light of day, transparency and video of the entire event. Put these sleaze bags on the internet forever. If they agree to this Star Chamber they are probably doomed or will be compromised.

In this instance, the democrats are more interested in setting a precedent for using the Star Chamber than in the outcome of this particular case. It will amount to nothing, this time, since democrat senators did the same thing four years ago, but they think the ramifications for using it now will serve their purposes later on.

The Election Fraud Deniers are on the march. They are also after Margaret Green in the House.
