It is absolutely obstruction and I'm not convinced they will have enough voters willing to believe whatever their false narrative will be.
My hope is that we can get enough of a hold in both houses and pass an immigration/border bill that is more progressive and maybe leaves a few Republican wants out. Then we can point out they had a chance, but didn't take it. Of course that all only satisfies my own ego and is a bit petty.
On your Russian theory, after watching this I'm even more convinced that Russia is heavily involved and I might be toeing the line on a few conspiracy theories. We may never know the full extent, but I do hope the truth is revealed.
