not a hoax, a plan to :
1. run out the clock, to prevent Republicans from implementing their agenda.
2. Hopefully get Trump or some of his people on something in the process of investigating the fake crime, such as lying under oath, or obstruction, ect.
“run out the clock, to prevent Republicans from implementing their agenda.”
Republicans are doing their best to prevent Trump’s agenda.
3. Run out the statute of limitation on the CLINTON crimes by keeping those who would offensively investigate busy on the defense
