    “Y’all, impeachment’s not even the big concern,” the House speaker said. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the cabinet, his donors and friends.

              They’re also trying to deflect attention/blame in an effort to weasel out of punishment for their blatant crimes.
