In 1965, when Lyndon Johnson was grappling with whether to fire J. Edgar Hoover as the head of the FBI, he said: “Well, it’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in.” In the case of the beleaguered freshman Republican Representative Madison Cawthorn, Republicans are putting the squeeze on him for being inside the tent and still pissing inside it.
On Thursday evening, the Daily Mail published screenshots of a video of Representative Madison Cawthorn with his staffer Stephen Smith putting his hand on the congressman’s crotch. Cawthorn’s communications director initially said he could not give any response until he saw the video, but offered up an even more damning detail: Cawthorn and Smith are apparently cousins, which could mean that the congressman had violated a federal statute that says public officials cannot employ their own relatives.

..."Mr Kinzinger also told Ms Brennan he hoped former vice president Mike Pence — a target of the mob for his refusal to unilaterally reject electoral votes from swing states won by Mr Biden — would “voluntarily” give evidence before the panel, and said committee members would make decisions on whether to subpoena Mr Pence or fellow House members in the next few weeks as the panel prepares for public hearings beginning next month.
“I think everybody needs to come and talk to us. We've requested information from various members. In terms of whether we move forward with a subpoena is going to be both a strategic tactical decision and a question of whether or not we can do that and get the information in time,” he said."...
