6. This is the actual "lawfare" they spent so long complaining about

From the NYT article:

"But merely creating an aura of criminality around Trump foes by celebrating incremental prosecutorial moves is a trophy in itself to die-hard Trump supporters, who have said that naming and shaming targets is a legitimate aim of law enforcement."

It doesn't matter to them that there's no case that any court would take seriously; they just need headlines and social media excitement to keep their thoroughly-dumbed-down supporters happy. And it's fine to waste public time and money on this, rather than, you know, actually enforcing real laws.
