    Are they so selfish that this is self serving and too stupid to realise they are playing into Russia’s arms or do they do this willingly and only pretend to not realise.

    Either one is horrible and regrettable but I am genuinely curious if they are opportunist idiots or trecherous idiots.

      Neither, they are actively working towards Russia’s goal just like they were paid to do, and they don’t seem to be pretending at all.

        I’m not even sure these GOP reps are getting a dime from Russia.

        More likely: they’re not getting anything from Russia, but their god-emperor Donny sure is, and he’s also got a vendetta against Ukraine after the whole Biden investigation debacle, so he’s using his inexplicable political clout within the party to pressure them into doing his bidding, with the penalty for falling to do so being that he says bad things about them, costing them an election.
