I'm not even sure these GOP reps are getting a dime from Russia.

More likely: they're not getting anything from Russia, but their god-emperor Donny sure is, and he's also got a vendetta against Ukraine after the whole Biden investigation debacle, so he's using his inexplicable political clout within the party to pressure them into doing his bidding, with the penalty for falling to do so being that he says bad things about them, costing them an election.
