Politicians value power first and foremost and an elected office confers them power.
So their main objective is to get reelected and stay in power. End justifies the means including lying (Nunes), looking the other way or pretend it did not happen (most members of GOP congress) or try and deflect like Grassley.
And they are betting that their own electorates will have no memory come election time or they me pander on red meat issues, god, guns, gay, abortion, etc.
