What did the Republicans in the Senate really do? They've been working on this for months. What have they done? Get testimony from Yates? Sessions? Even though Sessions lied under oath, did they MOVE on that? No. They excused his lie, but impeached Bill Clinton for lying under oath about something far less important: having sex with Lewinsky. Sessions lied about meetings with Russians while he was working with the Trump campaign, for gosh sakes.

The Republicans are protecting their own. As Paul Ryan said, "We are a family." (I'm paraphrasing.)
