Senate GOP shrugs off latest Trump revelation

The Jan. 6 select committee filing that set off a siren in the political world landed with a thud among Senate Republicans on Thursday.

The House panel said it had "a good-faith basis for concluding" former President Trump and members of his campaign "engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States," including trying to obstruct Congress's formal counting of the Electoral College vote.

The filing marked a bombshell moment for the committee, offering a preview into the panel's thinking about the former president months into its investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, when a mob of his supporters breached the Capitol.

But Senate Republicans, many of whom have been skeptical of the House panel, shrugged off the revelation -or said they missed it altogether.

and it's happening to Trump, not to them, so it's not a problem.

They will soon claim they never supported Trump in the past.
They just played along to get along but they never supported him.
