You're not helping your case by starting your list with three examples that have strong indications of criminality. Is law enforcement expected to not investigate criminals just because they're in or running for political office? It seems like it would be more straightforward for Republicans to just distance themselves from criminals, rather than closing ranks and adopting some post-reality persecution complex.

Define criminals. It’s not just an opinionated matter, any allegations have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt with presumption of innocence till proven guilty. Law works like that in this country. But also if a person is subject to criminal investigation for extended period of times (over three years), you would expect charges. So far other than some obscure “lying about net worth”, there is no charges.

Vindicating individuals you seem criminal with questionable raids from agencies with sweeping powers that are known for abuse of power have consequences. As in this case, it can very easily come for the other side. FBI is reportedly known for profiling MLK and other activists.
