Among the senators who shrugged off defending Trump from the potential “unprecedented abuse of authority” were Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and John Thune (R-SD). Speaking with Punchbowl News, each senator had a varying degree of indifference to calls for transparency from House leadership.
Cornyn suggested the leadership should mostly ignore Bragg’s potential indictment and focus on legislative priorities. “I would hope they would stick to the agenda they ran on when they got elected to the majority,” Cornyn suggested.
Capito appeared to shrug off altogether the House’s attempted oversight: “The House is gonna do what the House is gonna do.”
Tillis warned the House leaders not to interject themselves into the so-called “legal process” and tried to direct his comments toward the origins of the potential case against Trump.
“You’ve got to fall short of getting involved in the legal process,” he said. “I think there is a legitimate question asked of, ‘Why are we here?'”
Thune said he did not want to get involved with the House’s effort to defend the former president. “I try to stay out of talking about the House,” he said.
The GOP senators’ willingness to shrug off the House’s demand for transparency comes as legal scholars believe Bragg’s potential case against Trump is shaky.

Wait until these clowns are hauled into court on bogus charges.
What has happened to Cornyn over the years? Or is he just finally showing who he really is? Capito is surprisingly disappointing for being a Republican from West Virginia.
The usual suspects - Cornyn, Thune, Tillis and Capito. Republicans lite, if that. I gave Tillis a fair amount of money back in 2018, not a dime more.
“Wait until these clowns are hauled into court on bogus charges.”
They never will, because they go along.
That’s the deal.
With bums like this it really doesn’t matter if the Rs ever control the Senate.
As labor leader Samuel Gompers(1850-1924) said:
“Reward Your Friends and punish your enemies.”
And if that looks bad, beloved American icon Obama said:
In what can only be described as a very ugly exhortation, President Obama called on Latinos to “punish our enemies.”
...the appeal to “punish our enemies” smacks of a Nixonian mindset. “Our enemies?” The millions of Americans who oppose “comprehensive immigration reform” as the president defines it are “enemies?

RINO shrug fest. There will be penalties.
No kidding.
When RINOs and traitors deserted their voters and reached across the aisle to give in to the Dems on major bills, Rush used to say “Well, their votes must be something they are really proud of, so I’m going to now read their names to you.”
No irony at all.
Deep State Rethuglicans do what Deep State Rethuglicans do.
Cornholio has always sucked.
The four Senators mentioned are a waste of sperm.(and an egg)
Typical responses from cowards who are pushovers in any tough political fight.
Hence (and proof) of my Moniker for these “Congresspersons..” GOPeahens.
Without even glancing at the article, I can already guess that Mitt Romney is one of them.
Kudos to Ted Cruz, getting to what is really important and pressing right now:

The crucial word in your headline is “usual” because, as others have noted, this kind of behavior is no surprise to anyone.
We are here because you don't fall short of getting involved, you always don't get involved, & we are here because you conspired with the Democrats to steal an election.
Any other questions traitor?
Surprisingly, not in this instance - yet..
