Hopefully Senate Republicans will be prepared for it, too. This leftover from yesterday will take on additional importance if Al Franken resigns tomorrow. Democrats clean up their messes while Republicans get theirs elected will be the cry from the media, ignoring their 25-year record of covering for Bill Clintons sexual predation and their efforts to get him back in the White House via Hillary.
But still, that doesnt mean Republicans wont have to answer for Moore, and that the need will become more acute if Franken hits the bricks:
The Senate Ethics Committee will immediately launch an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against retired judge Roy Moore if the Republican Senate candidate wins a special election in Alabama next week.
Moore, projected in most public opinion polls to narrowly defeat Democratic attorney Doug Jones, would likely be called to testify under oath.

Agree. Congress likes to cast the first stone. They are off more days in a year then they even show up for work. Even then -many days Congress quits early.
There is no upside to an ethics review of Senator Moore. It will not happen
Like how MM slinked out of military service.
As soon as Moore wins on Dec 12th and the President congratulates him McConnell will promptly STFU and seat him.
