...it's almost impossible to believe they went from indifference to full blown targeting with nothing occurring in between.

Just because there wasn't something that could be termed an official probe into Trump doesn't mean DOJ took abandoned the notion he was involved in crimes. It means there were differences among prosecutors about what they believed was enough to move forward, and it didn't flesh out in a way that achieved consensus to target Trump until later.

Still water can hide a deliberately progressing current underneath.
