For all Trump/MAGA whine that this is a witch hunt, the reality is that Biden/Garland are moderates who strongly believe in norms. I think that they had a strong personal preference against charging him.
But when he became a candidate, he forced a special counsel. And the SC is not constrained by personal feelings or politics--it is just about the law.
And that's bad for Trump.
He was so worried that they were out to get him that he didn't realize they were protecting him.

If he didn't want to be indicted, they gave him double digit off ramps and declined each and every one of them
