One, I think by then it would be a new House, possibly without a Republican majority. Second, McCarthy, or his successor, would probably have an even harder time keeping his side together against united Democrats than he did with the debt-ceiling hostage crisis. Especially after a lot of indictments, I think there's be a fairly decent chance that a few Republicans would vote across the aisle.
A slightly more interesting case would be if the Presidency goes to the new House, the new House is still barely Republican, but the Republicans never choose a Speaker. Effectively, we would have no House and no President for an indefinite time.
