The main reason the GOP fights impeachment it that they are in his crimes up to their necks. He goes down, they all (most) go with him. Scorched earth.
They are complicit and have been since before his election. We say what happened with Cochran. Thats not new. Just the first time anyone ‘saw’ it. McCain and Mittens both tanked their elections for Barry and the Dems. The GOP PREVENTED their members from bringing up anything seriously damaging to Barry. Palin was muzzled.
So here we are today with their handmaidens fighting conservatives to stop that discovery you mentioned from happening. Because we know two things.
1: The GOP would be indicted with him
2: The GOP has operatives across the net running damage control for them as does any political group.
These add up to one simple thing. And it’s obvious.
You have definitely hit the nail on the head. The GOP has been complicit and Obama knows where all the skeletons are buried.
