It's more than that; it's protecting themselves from corruption charges and all that comes with
that. They desperately need Kavanaugh on SCOTUS to protect themselves since so many of them are complicit in so much corruption, not the lease of whicfh is the attack on the election, Russian colllusion, etc. And potential blackmail fodder from Russian hacking. They didnt just hack Dems.
And now there is the info about the upcoming SCOTUS case Gamble v. United States. "Gamble v. United States. isn’t related to the Russia investigation. But the outcome—which one senior Republican senator has tried to influence—could still have consequences for the probe."
