There's a saying that "Republicans eat their young." Here, the GOP were seeking to destroy one of their own who refused to prosecute Dems when evidence was lacking. First they force him to resign, then they bad-mouth him in public saying his performance was subpar even though it wasn't, and finally they try to derail his attempt to obtain a judgeship. The politicization of the Judiciary Branch is the underlying story here, subverting the Rule of Law to obtain political advantages.
