It's that they want the same interference to happen in Nov 2018 so that they can keep their power base. They are counting on Russia messing with the election again. They have no incentive to put a stop to this interference.
I don't understand why the talking heads on the cable news shows - don't mince words and tell the public this. They seem to be talking around the issue. They acknowledge that Russia interfered in 2016. They admit that there have been no measures taken to prevent it from happening in 2018. They just won't say that the Repugs have a vested interest in Russia interfering in 2018.
The Repugs are in kind of a win-win situation going into 2018. If they maintain the House and Senate - they are home free and continue on the path they have taken since 2016. If they lose the House and/or Senate - they then will get on their high horses and say that the Dems winning was illegitimate because of Russian interference. We know that is what Fox News will be touting and guess what - the deplorables that listen to Fox - will believe it.

Who gives a damn about ethics and laws when you can get what you want illegally?
