"He's not a team player," said one senior House GOP member, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about a colleague. "He's not someone who contributes to the caucus. Most of us don't really know him. If he did it and gets indicted, so what? A new Republican will replace him in that district and probably be a better member of Congress."... Two GOP sources say Gaetz didn't attend the House Republican Conference's weekly meeting Wednesday morning -- and there was no discussion of his conduct. It's the latest sign of House Republicans keeping their distance from Gaetz amid the swirling allegations... If Gaetz is indicted, he would be removed from his committees, which is what occurred when former GOP Reps. Chris Collins of New York and Duncan Hunter of California were indicted on insider training and campaign finance charges, respectively. Collins and Hunter each won reelection while under indictment before they resigned after pleading guilty to the charges against them. Both were pardoned by President Donald Trump.
