Politico has released this article where Republicans are certainly not happy with Trump's Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney after his recent press conference where he admitted without consulting any lawyers, that Trump conducted quid pro quo:

Or keep obstructing justice, continue piling on the obstruction charges against Trump for his impeachment trial.
When your star players are making it harder to root for them so the solution is to just tell them to stop talking about the crime. Sounds just like our sports institutions except this actually has devistating effects on a whole nation.

Look this quote from the article, looks like Mulvaney won't care if he's Trump's "fall guy" and that according to a person close to Mulvaney, we have a "stressed president right now":
So he doesn't care that the president is committing crimes, he just doesn't want anyone in the White House sharing that with the public.
Anyone who actually cares about the country would prefer if he kept talking. It's not a game and it's not about your team. If people knowing the truth hurt your side then your side is wrong.
The people who are still in the White House are idiots. Anyone with half a brain left at least a year ago.
That's where I'm at. Having people like Mulveney and Guliani spill the beans only makes finding the truth and connecting all the dots much simpler than entertaining politics and parsing through partisan nonsense.

I also agree, better for people on the inside essentially leaking stuff that makes it hopefully very very easy to impeach Trump.
While I understand from a legal perspective why these people should keep their mouths shut, from my American citizen perspective, everyone should be saying everything they know on this subject. If the truth is damaging, let the victims be those who committed the offense, not the American public or our system of government.
Of course. It's more of, "why you numbskulls do this in the open and put me in uncomfortable situations?"
it gives me an aneurysm every single day to see how blatant these fuckers are with openly lying now like it's totally normal now. It's only wrong when they literally spell it out, otherwise we are supposed to turn off our critical thinking skills and not dare say they are lying.
I'm astonished that not only is the White House repeatedly and nakedly admitting to everything, Republicans in the administration and Congress are openly acknowledging the admissions of guilt and saying the admissions, not the actual crimes themselves, are what's regrettable. There is no basic sense of decency or shame. I wish I wasn't so surprised by it, I know better than to expect anything, but I'm still amazed by how brazen the entire operation is.
Man its so fucked that an entire party is going to bat for traitors. He was unhelpful??? Really? You can't make this shit up.
And this is why I have absolutely no qualms saying "Fuck all Republicans."
They're just normalizing corruption.
It's been non-stop bullshit corruption from Trump that they're hoping that people just see this as normal now and give up.
You know, all the republicans starting to speak out doesn't mean anything to me. It's far too late. They should've said, and done something, back when trump belittled Mexican immigrants. Or when he said he liked to go up to women and grab them by their pussy.
No, it's like admitting guilt and then saying, Get Over It.
Mulvaney didn't strike me as a dummy, i think he had some ploy in mind to paint this as "only 2016" investigation, which is .. still stupid since Biden is on the Wh-released memo of the call... I dunno. I still feel like there's a revolt going on and a certain faction within Trumpland has decided to let Dear Leader hang himself and step back while it happens
