In this drop Q linked to a constitutional analysis of criminal charges against members of Congress. That analysi cites this case in footnote 4: Williamson v. United States, 207 U.S. 425, 446 (1908)

The case involved a member of Congress who was indicted, convicted and jailed for conspiracy to suborn perjury. In part the Supreme Court held that "Under § 5440, Rev. Stat., the conspiracy to commit a crime against the United States is itself the offense without reference to whether the crime which the conspirators have conspired to commit is consummated, or agreed upon by the conspirators in all its details." (Syllabus and p447). Made me wonder if this might be applicable to Schiff, S's staff, Vindman and maybe Atkinson.

The court also detailed the history of the limited privilege of members of Parliament against arrest for civil lawsuits. In this history, the court discussed a case in which a member was properly prosecuted for "writing and publishing seditious libels" against another member. (p. 400-401, 444) Again, I wonder if Schiff's "parody" of POTUS' Ukraine transcript and claims by many Dems that Nunes' memo was false might also be considered "seditious libel".

Any actual lawfags care to comment?
