The destruction of the myth they created.

The myth that they wanted to put on Mt Rushmore. The greatest president since Abraham Lincoln. A genius businessman. Etc. Ad nauseum.

The Republican Party created a myth of a person that in no way resembled the real person. All the evidence was always right in front of them, but they chose to ignore it.

And he used them to maximum advantage. But they wanted to be "used" because it kept them in power. It didn't matter if it was all a lie.

They knew he was a liar. They knew he was a con-man. They knew he was a criminal. And soon, they will know that he was one of the masterminds in a worldwide sex-ring involving young girls and young women.

If it comes to a vote in the House, it is expected that dozens of Republicans will desert the myth that was once Donald Trump.

But, no more. He is part of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile ring. The evidence is coming out daily in the form of emails from Epstein himself.

Unfortunately for the Republicans, the polls are not nice to Mr Pedophile. He is down in some polls to 36-37%. That does not bode well for any Party to have a leader that is so unpopular.

That is why they will desert him when the vote comes to the floor of the House.

They will destroy the myth they created.

Wag The Dog (movie) Old Shoe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog

The film centers on a spin doctor and a Hollywood producer who fabricate a war in Albania to distract voters from a presidential sex scandal.

The President of the United States is caught making advances on an underage girl inside the Oval Office less than two weeks before the election. Conrad Brean, a top spin doctor, is brought in by presidential aide Winifred Ames to take the public's attention away from the scandal. He decides to construct a fictional war in Albania, hoping that the media will concentrate on this instead.

But when the CIA—in collusion with the president's rival candidate—reports that the war has ended, the media begins to revert its focus to the president's sexual misconduct scandal. To counter this, Motss invents a hero who was left behind enemy lines in Albania.

yada yada
