Look, the whole thing was an obstruction trap from the beginning. They knew, and i mean even if Mueller came into it in good faith, more or less on the first day that there was no collusion. So the whole thing, in addition to being a big fishing expedition, was to leak enough and to poke Trump enough that he would do something stupid and start firing everyone like Nixon did. Then, the Republican Never Trumpers would have had enough cover to go ahead and vote for impeachment.

I think as they got into it and realized how clean Trump was in his personal dealings that provoking him into some overt acts that they could scream obstruction about and use to impeach him became THE priority and the only goal. I have to say that Trump was really well advised in this process. They did a good job.
