This is your big chance @LindseyGrahamSC – you’ve got more ammunition than you’ll ever need! It’s time to finally do something, or go away and let someone else take care of business!

Trust me. He's not getting around to it now either.
He's all bluster.

Update:
Mollie Hemingway makes a good point:
Reporters like to describe political pressure from voters as "pressure from Trump." A convenient way to ignore conservative voters & avoid political realities, such as the voter demand for holding people who spied and leaked against Trump campaign and administration accountable. https://t.co/XI9UJVg7dl
