He sounds whiny, wheedling, nasally, high-pitched, lisping and petulant. He's trying for outrage but it sounds rehearsed and he stumbles over his words when he tries to emphasize them. His stiff hand motions don't help either. He needs some voice coaching, because it would have been a lot more impactful otherwise.

he got the quote he was looking for, it'll look better in print

How so? His timbre or his vocabulary or his attitude?
basically everything

that was more or less the definition of political grandstanding

if he really thought there were misdeeds, he should ask questions to elicit the truth or to force a lie. he was going off about smell tests and poo poo, that was nothing.

well, it turns out that literally everything that might bear on that question is covered by executive privilege

You mean DoJ rules, which the head of the DoJ who has control over such things is mysteriously unable to do anything about
