Threats to his well-being and that of his family? We know that is why some Republican senators did not vote to convict Trump during his impeachment trial.

That's the secret sauce behind the entire Trump racket. A violent horde of supporters, armed to the teeth, eager to hurt or intimidate others, eager to follow orders from an authoritarian, and now under the protection of a lawless president. For now the horde is only used against Republican politicians, but I imagine he'll find other uses for them soon enough.

Ironically if theyтАЩd convicted him his power over his mob would probably have dissipated pretty quick and the DOJ would have felt much more empowered to get into it Im sure

Also simply safety in numbers. Being one of ten is more dangerous than being one of 20+. It's hard to whip up outrage for something when more and more people are doing that thing.

Sure, that too.

IтАЩm sure Cassidy would love to show a spine but he canтАЩt do that.
