It's what happened within the 2016 election cycle, and to this day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
COINTELPRO (acronym for COunter INTELligence PROgram) (1956-1971) was a series of covert, and at times illegal,[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.[3][4] FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI deemed subversive,[5] including the Communist Party USA,[6] anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the civil rights movement or Black Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Panther Party), feminist organizations,[7] independence movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like the Young Lords), , and a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left. The program also targeted white supremacist groups including the Ku Klux Klan[citation needed]. Nationalist groups including Irish Republicans and Cuban exiles were also targeted.[8]

Weaponizing the IRS, DOJ, and the FBI by the Obama administration is undeniable. SICK!
