My personal opinion is they simply have no ethics or real convictions and realize that if Trump goes down as the traitor he is the GOP is finished…
But there is a far darker possibility…
Democrats tend not to question why Republicans in Congress stick with President Donald Trump despite his various ongoing scandals — including new reporting that the FBI investigated the possibility that the president is an actual Russian agent.
We live in a hyper-partisan age. And so congressional Republicans continue to back Trump, goes the thinking, simply because he’s a fellow Republican. (After all, congressional Democrats remained loyal to President Bill Clinton during the 1998-99 Monica Lewinsky scandal even after they knew he had lied to them and the country.)
But some anti-Trump Republicans increasingly believe there’s more to it than extreme party loyalty — and they’re increasingly being vocal about it. They worry that some GOP congressional members defend Trump while also believing he’s a danger to both U.S. economic interests and national security.
These Trump critics believe, in short, that at least a handful of prominent congressional Republicans are compromised by Russia, just like Trump.

Is it really that outlandish? We know GOP mouthpieces were LITERALLY sleeping with the enemy… we know the NRA – essentially the militant wing of the GOP- was deeply in bed with russia… is it that hard to believe individual senators have become traitors for russians?
