Bang on, lion.
And to decline to take the journey is also to lose.
Michael d'Antonio told us before the election that Trump's method has always been to generate such a whirlwind of shadiness and dishonesty that observers end up letting some of it go by unchallenged. When they do finally challenge something, Trump refers back to the unchallenged bit and says, "But you were complicit in that thing, your hands are dirty too, you're not in a position to challenge me."
The habit's so ingrained Trump even tried to do it to Comey during that dinner, when there was no "thing":
Trump then said: “Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know.” Comey says he did not reply or ask what the president meant by “that thing”.

So if Congress had failed to act, once it knew about his very simple misdemeanour attempting to subvert the 2020 election, then this Congress too would have had a "thing" in which it was complicit and would have been held over it forever.
