#1 Another more famous prosecution involved Billie Sol Estes. He was targeted, prosecuted, and villainized by the DoJ and liberal press assets of the Democrat party not because of a real desire to jail him, but in order to try to force him to "roll over" on LBJ, the real target of the Estes prosecution. In fact, that prosecution was a political operation meant to discredit then-vice president Johnson so that the Kennedy partisans could remove him from the 1964 presidential ticket.

Motive.

#2 At the meeting Estes was told that what was really wanted was for him to let the DoJ write an affidavit for Estes to sign, and then his prosecution would end. That affidavit would have been critical of LBJ. Estes refused to play the game, and as a result he was eventually tried and sent to prison.

He didn't want to end up like some of Hillary's associates.
