In Lawfare, the political prosecution is the point. Not the "crime". The point is that Trump, despite having 4 years to do so, never launched the kind of coordinated campaign against his enemies that the left said he would.

You can't launch a political prosecution unless you have a prima facie case that a crime was committed. The charges will be thrown out within a few days of filing. A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich, but if you don't have any prima facie case then a competent defense attorney will get the charges tossed pretty quickly.

The lack of indictment of Hillary Clinton isn't due to Trump's magnanimity. It's because she didn't commit a provable violation of a U.S. criminal statute.
