I want to believe that, cause it confirms my biases, but you gotta source?

Took me a while but I found what I was thinking of.

It was the Fired FEC head

But it wasn't because she was fired they didn't go forward, it's because the board is 3/3 dem/rep so a republican would need to 'flip'

Asked by Alicia Menendez, "What is most alarming to you?" she replied, "Well, I can't talk about anything that would be currently before the commission by law, complaints that are filed and any investigatory action remains confidential until the cases are closed."

She then continued. "But I can tell you that in the past we have had 63 separate complaints filed against the president or his political committees –– and not all complaints are well-founded not all complaints are worth the agency's time to pursue. But our nonpartisan professional staff has advocated that we pursue 31 of those cases and, in not a single one, did we get four votes to move forward."

This is one of the things they talked about in the election interference hearings in December too

“Almost every matter that the FEC has not pursued is associated with the former president [Trump]” (Rep Torres, about 57minutes in)
