Bad idea to prosecute January 6 house committee for several reasons. Trump would need democrat help to implement legislative priorities because of small republican majorities in congress. Also public would be reminded about the horrors of attack on capitol and Trump role which lead to impeachment. Since committee members have really done nothing wrong, prosecution could turn them into martyrs.

Agreed! And of course prosecuting innocent people just to seek vengeance can backfire both in the public eye and in lawsuits for defamation....similar to the two innocent Georgia election workers who were severely defamed and traumatized.
