It only bothers me because I sincerely believe that our legal enforcement agencies are padded with Republicans, and I know now that civil torts that border on criminal are often ignored if there is political clout around to shut down investigations. In addition, some Repubs have been known to play dirty so it doesn't take a leap to figure out that they'll use whatever resources they have available to shut down someone's livelihood, if necessary.
