More like the GOP using former members with nothing to lose to help push the Dems into impeachment so Trump and co. can walk away scott free.

I just can’t understand taking a Republicans words at face value. If you’re a Republican today your motives and ethics are automatically in question AFAIC. If they had any real ethnics the Republican Party would be tiny.
