But that decision ends up being taken out of members' hands because Eric Swalwell, after ending his campaign for governor, is still facing significant pressure.
And he announces on Monday that he's going to resign from Congress.
Tony Gonzalez announces that he'll be doing the same.
That's a great question.
I think we're still reporting on this.
But there was a sense that Swalwell's position was increasingly untenable, that so many Democrats had abandoned him, and that a number of Democratic women said explicitly, I will vote to oust Eric Swalwell, and I will also vote to oust Tony Gonzalez.
And you had a number of Republican women saying the same.
Both of these men have committed serious accusations of misconduct that I find credible, and I'm going to get rid of them both.
But there's a sense that members don't want to have to take votes like this.
Even when they feel like it's a cut-and-dry situation, they don't want to vote to expel any of their colleagues without due process because they don't know if someday they'll be accused of something in a newspaper article that they might have to defend themselves about.

So it's very possible that he will face a criminal investigation in that case.
