that said the Russia interference was real. That would be enough for Fat Nixon to want to punish him. I was actually surprised that the FBI is investigating Burr for his dodgy stock trade - I figured he'd get away with it because he's a GOPer - but maybe they have orders to investigate him in order to retaliate for that report. Also, after the report came out Burr announced he wanted to investigate Hunter Biden, so maybe he's trying to retaliate against the retaliation. A tangled web, indeed.

... who needs to be punished. In fact, he delights in punishing those who do not succumb to complete obedience. Burr is getting his comeuppance, from Trump's POV. He ordered it, Barr jumped, and now Burr gets the "treatment."
