If "doing their job" means orchestrating a conspiracy to unseat a duly elected president, you are correct.

The Mueller report was hardly an orchestrated conspiracy indedd Trump was going on and on about how it exonerated him and proved his innocence when it was published.
Sadly for the US, you now have a President who is trying to govern like an Absolute monarchy where the leader holds supreme autocratic authority.
The current legal arguments being put forward by Trump and his lawyers they have far reaching consequences for the US in terms of determing the power of the US President with Trump's Lawyer's arguing "that the president can behave with impunity and that article II and the supremacy clause, mean not only that the president cannot be indicted or put on trial for committing a crime, but also that he cannot be subject to any criminal investigation during his term in office".
The idea that the President has impunity to the law and is above criminal investigation is a danger one and sets a dangerous precedent should the Supreme Court rule in Trump and his lawyers favour. The Supreme Court itselfis also becoming ever more politicalised, and this is also unsettling.
