I keep thinking of the medium-info swing voter in 2016 who, at the last minute, decided not to go for Hillary bc she'd be consumed by scandals and investigations. The "actually it's defying the constitution and will of the voter to investigate the president" CW came too late!

And everyone should remember that the White House has done little to nothing about the robust conservative media infrastructure. The Trump admin got the FCC complete within a few months, and the Trump FCC rolled back anti-consolidation rules that let Sinclair expand. Biden FCC? Bupkis.

Did people fearing how an investigation might slow a president really exist? (vs people who just didn't trust the politician)

He wasn't a median voter but I remember Doug Schoen, a Clinton hanger-on who hasn't done anything real in decades, going on Fox to say that the Comey letter clinched it: He could not possibly vote for Clinton. If she won nobody would remember the Comey letter! It didn't lead to shit!

Then there were lefties who never saw a 3rd party candidate they didn't love.
