You can make the argument that they did not have probable cause for the spying but that in itself would just lead to incompetence and not malice. Without having some smoking gun to show that there was a conspiracy then they get away with it.
This is why I would at least want Republicans to run on how Democrats have politicized the FBI and were helped by the media. Legally they will most likely get away with it but it should not be without any consequence.
