This rationale earlier claimed the career of Liz Cheney and is now the primary driver of the Republican Party's opposition to a January 6 Commission.
The most interesting thing about it is that it's as pure a distillation of the prioritization of in-group partisan priorities over national interests as you are likely to see.
