Nothing they do or say is in good faith.

They know that there's nothing meaningful to find from such an investigation, they were just demanding it because of the implication and because they can keep pushing conspiracy claims.

But an actual investigation to reveal the nothing is terrible for Republicans, because it cuts short the made up things they've been claiming.

Hence, their only option now is to try and discredit the very thing (and person) that they've been calling for.
