Trump is livid with his attorney general and the FBI director for refusing to investigate Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Trump is furious that Barr isn’t releasing before the election what Trump hoped would be a bombshell report by U.S. Attorney John Durham on the Obama administration’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Trump’s plan for winning reelection was to use the federal government to investigate and indict members of the Obama administration, including Joe Biden so that he could replicate the both candidates are equally bad perception that existed in the 2016 election.
Donald Trump needed voters to believe that their choice was between two bad candidates because otherwise, the spotlight would be solely on his record and corruption. A second Trump term would certainly a purge of administration officials and civil servants.
