The real story here is that the BananaReTHUGs should have voted

to remove the Slobfather after the failed coup.

Not one fucking thing they say will change that but power seeking greedy men and women put party over country.

Oh and fuck Fux, Murdoch and all his hacks!

He could have rounded up enough Republican Senators to convict and remove him. He might even have won back the Senate last fall. By leaving T***p untouched, he exacerbated this mess.

At the first impeachment a few GOP senators could've knocked him out of contention right then. Or even the second one would've put his federal political aspirations to bed.

Nothing else makes sense unless they have been pretending about supporting the Constitution and democracy for decades.

They are simply that craven and depraved, they don't need to be coerced into not doing the right thing - that simply is a prerequisite for being an R at this point.

That doesn't necessarily mean that he actually has "the goods" on them, but they don't know that. There be lots of skeletons in them-thar closets.
