You'd think Republicans would wait until the indictment was unsealed before they declared it illegitimate and an outrage. They could at least then pretend their opposition isn't purely political and that they still believe that nobody is above the law. Disantis saying he won't cooperate with an extradition before he even knows what the charges are seems rather extreme for a country that has traditionally respected law and order.
It would be so easy for the republicans to pull off a win-win here...
Claim that you "trust the American people on the jury to make the right verdict". Maye if you are worried about the Trump base, make some sort of vague comment about "I liked what Trump has done in the past". And if Trump gets convicted (which I suspect most republican leaders are actually hoping for), they would find it easier to absolve themselves.
Instead they seem to be trying to tie themselves to a sinking boat anchor. Pushing a pro-trump narrative (and giving even more power for a racist con-artist to wreck your party in the future.)
