Conspiracy to obstruct justice? All of them. Because that is what they are doing.

I don't think elected officials can be impeached but the House Committees can supeona his ass for all the lying and sneaking around the White House smuggling documents back and forth. If he lies then he can be charged.

From Wikipedia-

Article I, Section 5, of the United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member."

That won't happen, but he could be stripped of committee assignments. Give him an office with nothing to do.

Yes, if they wanted to they could throw Nunes out completely. In addition, as you say, they could make him Chairman of the Janitor's Closet. Every day Nunes is in charge of that committee it's because Republicans want him to be.

This is true. Impeachment would not apply but Congress can kick members out. Sadly they can run again.
