The Republicans were used to exploiting information from the Democrats. The got all the Democratic representatives emails a few years earlier. Russia helping them out with data was something they took too rather easily. No strong ethics there. It is our side that throws out Al Frankin without due process. It is their side that supports the most hideous internal crimes without any examination. Events have proven this.
When the Russians hacked the Republican servers though, we got no serious or prolonged complaints from the Republicans. For once, they were actually wounded and they stayed pretty much quiet. We haven't seen any leaks or lies about what was hacked. Not like we got from the hacking of the Democratic side of the isle. What Russia got, we don't really know. But whatever it was, that moment was the turning point. Before that Republicans, apart from a few people that have seemed to act as agents. (Hint, Hint, Lindsey, Gosar and McCarthy, I am leaving out the list of those that are no longer in positions of state.) After the hack of the Republican servers, the standard Republican tradition of being hard against Russia, turned around abruptly and sharply.
It is hard to imagine what was on those servers that gave Russia so much power over the Republicans. When you consider their standard set of sins one has to wonder what was so hideous that they feared the revelation?
