text: Republicans have other motives for trying to downplay this growing scandal aside from partisan loyalty to a president most of them barely know.The hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chair John Podesta were not the only hacks. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, was hacked as well and the information was professionally curated and disseminated by none other than the same Guccifer 2.0. The release of that information targeted close congressional campaigns.

  The New York Times published a long exposé about this last December showing exactly how the hacks were done, but amid the Trump furor it’s never been followed up. 
  
  
  One can imagine why Republican Intelligence Committee members would prefer it never is. 
  
  After all, the Russians apparently didn’t just interfere on behalf of Donald Trump. 
  
  They interfered on behalf of House Republicans. 
  
  Somebody might begin to wonder what they expected in return.
