but that article fails horribly at making the case that most of the misguided policies broke a law.
Yea I started to put a disclaimer in my OP that a lot of them were very questionable about any laws actually being broken.

Just as an example.
Shitty policy and a very underhanded way to go about implementing something he knew would never make it through Congress.
At the same time it's not a "classic case of criminal racketeering."

2) Attempting to shut down gun stores outside of law
In a classic case of criminal racketeering, the U.S. Department of Justice was pressuring banks to refuse service to gun stores in a program entitled Operation Choke Point. Under the program started in 2014 if not before, the DOJ was attempting to shut down legal gun dealers by coercing financial institutions to close the bank and merchant accounts associated with their businesses.
In 2012, Bank of America told a gun company, McMillan Group International, that because the company was expanding into firearms manufacturing, the bank no longer wanted McMillan’s business. “We have to assess the risk of doing business with a firearms-related industry,” the bank’s representative told operations director Kelly McMillan.
And not long after, BitPay, a U.S.-based bitcoin processor, likewise refused to do business with gun dealer Michael Cargill of Central Texas Gunworks due to a similar policy.
