I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off

Seems to be paraphrasing:

“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”

I've heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don't even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.
