I’m convinced the DS existed then. Or at least the roots of what we now know as the DS.
Election of 2012: Barry weaponizes the IRS against The TEA party. Lois Lerner pleads the 5th. Koskinen found corrupt but immune.
Election of 2014: (Fill in the blank here _____)
Election of 2016: Barry weaponizes the entire National Security Apparatus, including misuse of foreign espionage and FBI/DoJ in a full-court press to invalidate Trump and get Hillary elected, but Trump interrupts the plans with the help of his supporters. Operation Crossfire Hurricane hatched by rogue FBI/CIA sedition cell, led by Mufti Soetoro and Imam Brennan. Multiple "insurance policies" are crafted in case Trump cannot otherwise be removed from office.
Election of 2018: The DS, run by Barry and ValJay, keeps the impetus of the 2016 Crossfire Hurricane going, stretches out the Mulehead Debacle well beyond the time necessary to determine there was never a "there there", impacts the election, and flips the House BLUE.
Election of 2020: The entire SpyGate Operation, going back to 2012, was a tax-payer-funded oppo-research arm of the DNC (led by the FBI/CIA sedition cell, led by Mufti Soetoro and Imam Brennan with supplicants Page and Strzok) to tank Trump in 2020. It won't work. Operation Crossfire Hurricane (led from the Soetoro White Crib, then DS) converted to Operation Deadly Boomerang (by Honey Badger Barr).
The roots are deep! Perhaps we need a sequel to the movie "ROOTS"
