Well, I heard one of his Republican colleagues saying that they (the Democrats) are looking to strip him of his committee assignments. I don’t know how that works. Can they do that, or is that controlled by the Republicans?

First, I'm wondering how many Republicans will go along with this against Wilson. It's the type of bipartisanship the RINOs love to exhibit.

Committee assignments are requested by members with incumbent members staying where they are unless they ask otherwise. The requests go to each party's leadership or committee on committees and from there on to the full body for approval. So it looks like they can do it if they want without Republican help, but again, I'm sure Wilson will be betrayed by his own party in the name of bipartisanship.
