Trump could not get the FBI or the DOJ to investigate the Bidens?

He only felt comfortable with a secret investigation done by criminal and shady characters in Ukraine, most of them with Russian loyalties. He used Rudy Giuliani to make the contacts with the most corrupt criminals in that part of the world.

Republicans say, he has the right to investigate anyone accused of corruption, even in countries like the Ukraine. He didn't trust the FBI or the DOJ, after the way they treated him.

Is that their argument?

nothing else in his bag of tricks.

He's using it to dogwhistle the basket-of-deplorables hounds.

Its a shrinking dog pack.

The FBI and CIA weren't enough for him, so he and his henchmen formed that remarkable group called the Plumbers which masterminded such brilliant and totally illegal feats as breaking into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist office to get dirt to smear the person who leaked the Pentagon Papers and, of course, the grand-daddy of them all, the Watergate DNC office break-in(s) (there were at least two).

Giuliani is the 21st century Plumber.

Watergate was the grand-daddy, until this moron came to occupy our White House. We are taking a further necessary step to get back our country.
