That certainly correlates with the quantum of evidence against him, but it's not the same thing.
Also, I think we can assume that the GOP believes he did it. If they didn't, they'd be looking for an investigation to show he didn't.

The GOP does not believe he did it. Not at all. They think this is engineered. They're just not taking any chances. It's a strategy. There are arguments for and against it. If I were their lawyer, I'd probably err on getting him seated. Get the win under the belt, then figure a long term strategy for addressing the fallout.
I don't see any evidence yet. I see an accusation and a denial.
