Republican criminal collusion

Why has no one called for the criminal indictment of republican senators?

According to the record and admitted by more than one, including the Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman, Richard Burr, were solicited, personally, by Trump, to end the investigation into Russia. However,
no mention of these requests seems to have been reported to the FBI or to the Special Counsel. Instead, we have witnessed the republicans on the Intelligence Committee do all they could to slow-play, obfuscate, misdirect or openly deny culpability of the Trump administration.

My read is that, they, Devin Nunes as a primary example, and to a lesser extent Trey Goudy, ie., Drako Malfoy, all played a roll in providing cover for the White House instead fulfilling their sworn duties of protecting the Constitution of the U.S.

By their actions and deeds, the republicans, fully aware of Trump's complicity and criminality, used such knowledge to provide cover for the largest legislative theft, (second only to the 2008 market collapse caused by their constituents on Wall Street), to enrich their donors and themselves.

As we the people, the 90% that work every day, pay, on average, $4,000 a year in taxes to subsidize corporations, while at the same time, providing profits to the same corporations for goods and services, and the same corporations paying zero tax dollars, leaving the cost of the infrastructure and the commons to the the tax payer.

The republicans, en masse, should be charged under the Rico Act as a criminal organization, no differently than would be another crime family like the Gotti's as they are all complicit in placing their party's power, goals and financial needs ahead of all other concerns.

We are now all part the Ayn Rand's (and Paul Ryan's) dystopian universe; "if you are too poor to live, then just die."

Let's sick our legal eagles on coming up with creative, legitimate methods for introducing the republican party to the RICO acts. If ANY organization deserves to be defunded and criminalized, the republican party is the POSTER child of such a group! The answer is as obvious to me as the sun rising every morning.

Perhaps some enterprising DU law students can fast track their career by undergoing such a challenge.
