This rhetoric fits in with the whole drain the swamp narrative. There is a lot of talk about criminal referrals to Barr from Nunes and others on the net if you search. Regardless of outcome it will be spun to a 2020 win/win, either they win or they claim Pelosi, and others stone walled and obstructed the investigation. The challenge is to prove they didn't, or as LBJ once famously said "I just want to hear them deny it". There is still plenty of time for Comrade Trumpkins to do lots of damage to his perceived enemies.

Trump wants to win at any cost. May heaven help us all. He sure won't.
