The entire narrative of the past 4 years has been threatened with investigation, harrassment and legal expenses, by multiple members of the incoming administration.
In his last administration, Trump attacked senior members of the FBI by firing Comey and McCabe - both of whom are Republicans who voted for him. Comey was subjected to years of investigations, IRS audits, and every sort of judicial harassment Trump could throw at him.
McCabe enduring 3 Grand Juries, lost his FBI pension within hours of his retirement. Both men sued the DOJ and won. McCabe's pension was reinstated.
Trump's antics cost the federal government millions in settlements. Strzoc, Page, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, the Clintons, the Bidens - all spent millions of dollars on Trump's attempt to punish them for exposing his criminal administration.
