Republican elected officials had two choices: 1. wait for more information to come out before deciding on how to respond or 2. insist that Donald Trump is being politically persecuted by Joe Biden and we must act or risk becoming a Banana Republic!
Obviously they chose the latter because they are dead set on taking America down a dark, dark path. The stuff that "normal" Republicans are spouting is absolutely unhinged stuff. All for a guy who got his ass handed to him by Joe Biden. When violence kicks off against the FBI, DOJ, or others, of course they will blame everyone but themselves.
