I don't think he ever held political office but was a Republican policy director before leaving the party after the 2016 election.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/national/read-the-transcript-of-the-conversation-among-gop-leaders-obtained-by-the-post/2209/

The conversation provides a glimpse at the internal views of GOP leaders who now find themselves under mounting pressure over the conduct of President Trump. The exchange, which was obtained by The Washington Post, shows that the Republican leadership in the House privately discussed Russia's involvement in the 2016 election and Trump's relationship to Putin, but wanted to keep their concerns secret.

Excerpt from transcript: (House majority leader Kevin McCarthy to colleagues in 2016) 'There's . . . there's two people, I think, Putin pays: Rohrbacher and Trump . . . swear to God."

... about Putin paying trump. The conversation occurred before the republican convention. It was written about in the Washington Post.

saying "let's keep it in the family"

I am so shocked that this tape is not all over hell and gone

It is evidence they took money and they all knew about it

There is a lot more material out there instead of just asking to impeach Trump. Put the info out there and the people will be asking to impeach Trump.
