27. They're drunk on power. McCONnell & Ryan are in on this since before the RNC convention.

Remember how they condemned tRump's statements but never condemned him?

The Republicons have sold out the country for personal political power and ultimate financial gain.

They are in it too deep now to back out, especially now that the coverup is expanding at the same time it is unraveling. Senator Nunes has been drawn in by dragging his feet on investigating the Russian Scandal and is becoming ensnared in the coverup.

It is looking a little more likely that the Trump organization sold out for $11 billion worth of Rosneft shares (19.5% of the company):

What do they stand to gain by letting the freak stay in power?

Bannon: White supremacy and end-times eschatology.

Pence: Power via replacing tRump as President.

McCONnell: Wife already got a plush appointment (Chao). Power. Avoiding jail.

Ryan: Ayn Randian remake of government. Power now. Presidential run in 2024. Avoiding jail.

tRump: Money, fame, narcissistic glory. Avoiding ignominy and jail.
