Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump wrote: GOP Senator Thom Tillis slams his “immoral” Republican colleagues for scuttling an immigration-Ukraine aid deal on behalf of Trump:

“I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy.
It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for President Trump to win.”

Good for him.

Ranking Member Raskin Urges Chairman Comer to Investigate Whether Former President Trump’s Attorneys Lied about Chairman Comer’s Statements to Bury Further Evidence of Trump’s Foreign Emoluments
Following Chairman Comer’s Statements, Ranking Member Raskin Also Calls for Committee to Issue a New Subpoena to Mazars

Press Release

Washington, D.C. (January 26, 2024)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, sent a letter to Chairman James Comer pressing

him to launch an immediate investigation into the apparent efforts of Trump’s counsel to deliberately mislead counsel for Mazars, former President Trump’s accounting firm, by falsely claiming the Committee had no interest in requiring Mazars to complete document productions under a court-supervised settlement agreement. The request follows recent public comments in which Chairman Comer explained that he “had no involvement” to cut off the flow of Trump documents from Mazars to the Committee in early 2023. Noting Chairman Comer’s claims, Ranking Member Raskin also urged him to issue a new subpoena to former President Donald Trump’s former accounting firm, Mazars USA, LLP (Mazars), so that the Committee can receive all responsive documents pertaining to payments Trump illegally accepted while in office in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

“If, as you stated, you were not involved in—much less directing—the termination of document productions to the Committee, I urge you to launch an immediate investigation into the false and fraudulent misrepresentations by former President Trump’s attorneys, and to join me in ensuring the Committee receives from Mazars all the records it has pertaining to all the payments received by former President Trump from all foreign governments during the entirety of his presidency. Former President Trump’s acceptance of these payments is not only illegal and unconstitutional but also raises significant national security concerns as the corrupt and autocratic foreign governments making these payments sought—and often received—favors and specific foreign policy outcomes,” wrote Ranking Member Raskin.

I saw him being royally ripped on social media for saying he had no problem voting for fuckhead, 91 indictments notwithstanding.

So it's interesting seeing him calling out the House.

I'm waiting for the PRIMARY HIM shouts, but not hearing any yet.

When pressed if his answer was still the same “if I ask you that question in terms of your position as a father,” Lankford doubled down: “Yes, they can.”
