The probe, likely to be rigorous, would be carried out behind closed doors by the Senate Ethics Committee's professional, nonpartisan staff. It could take months, and might come up empty or conclude with an "admonishment" — essentially a slap on the wrist. The committee could also recommend that the full Senate vote on a motion to "censure" Moore or expel him from Congress.
“If he were to be elected, he would immediately have an issue with the Ethics Committee that they would take up,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday during a Capitol Hill news conference.

Lawyer up because these political scoundrels want to take him down.
Senator Moore should tell those “non partisan professionals” to go stuff themselves.
L
He WONT CARE. He gets there, HE will be the one doing the grilling.
ha!
im sure the judge is looking forward to such a ‘grilling’
which is to say, he’s probably laughing at the assholes who are threatening him with such a sicko ‘welcome’ to washDC
they will be sealing their own retirement papers, for sure, if they dare try to treat moore that way!
this is all more phony commie-leftist=GOPe BS talk trying to scare voters away is all
Mitch “Butt Boy” McConnell doesn’t really want to dig into someone’s history of what they did 40 years ago, does he?
Easy...get a sit down with Trump and agree to be on-board with his agenda 100%. Then let the tweets begin!
The matter is absolutely the concern of the people of Alabama and is none of the Senate’s business.
Doesn’t someone have to make a complaint first? News clippings are not a complaint.
To be real, over half of the Senate Democrats have openly called for him to resign. It may be more now, so would you really like to revise and extend your remarks?
Get him and his accusers under oath. Get the yearbook into a lab. Let the chips fall.
If he has to be booted, then appoint Mo Brooks to the seat until 2018.
I have a feeling he is mostly innocent, and his accusers will fade away if asked to go under oath. Why do I think that? Because we have the last several decades to go by. There isn’t a hint of impropriety in the decades since he married. And frankly, almost every one of his accusers, their story starts to crumble when you start digging at the details.
[ The matter is absolutely the concern of the people of Alabama and is none of the Senate’s business. ]
The FEDERAL Senate should NOT ever be allowed to EXPEL a senator, ONLY the STATE LEGISLATURE should EVER do such a thing.
Let the purest senator cast the first stone. And let the most catty inquisitor experience an anal exam of her own, as Breitbart goes about beating the bushes of the deepest past.
Actually his “accusers” will be the ones facing the grilling.
If they’re wise, they’ll recant.
Heck, just make something up. After all, it's the accusation that is important, isn't it? That's what they're saying: proof isn't important, facts aren't important; only a serious-sounding accusation is required.
“Franken’s gone, and with that, Moore’s cover.”
Agreed. That is the reason for this 11th hour push. With Conyers, and now Franken gone, they can pummel Trump & Moore with impunity.
It’s gonna be a busy week (with Hillary nowhere to be found!)...
Nonsense.
They give up a real perv, and we're supposed to let them crucify a victim of blatant politically motivated accusation?
No Thanks.
