From the June 9, 2022, edition of Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime 

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): They want to tee up a felony charge because if an individual is charged with a felony, they cannot become president. Isn't that what that is about? Making sure Trump does not get re-elected in 2024? 

PETER NAVARRO (GUEST):  Well, look, they know that past could be prologue. I think the discredited Russia hoax, which began in 2016, and the two impeachments took their toll on the President. And so, if they can continue these discredited smear campaigns, they can prevent him either politically through public opinion or actually through prison from regaining the Oval Office. So Jesse, you're absolutely right. That's their strategy.
