It’s not about precedent in the legal code but precedent in the eyes of the public.
The theory is that if Trump had tried to arrest the Clinton Family, the Bush Family, the Biden Family, and the Obama Family all on day one of his Presidency, it would have made him look like the Hitleresque tyrant the corporate media had painted him as, and I think most people would have been against it.
So how do you arrest all your political opponents without it looking like it’s sketchy? Perhaps if they do it first, and without reason, they open the public’s mind to the concept - at which point it could be flipped around on them. Much easier to arrest Obama for raping and killing a child after Obama arrested Trump for jaywalking.
