There's only a couple people who ever got close to being attacked this hard. They don't normally last. Unfortunately, the slander normally works, and as such, the victim either gets imprisoned or dies. On the other hand, a lot of the targets of this level of political aggression are actually people who aren't so innocent.

Randy Weaver (and his family) were quite clearly harassed for at least 9 years until the infamous Ruby Ridge incident. It's a long story, but for the most part, the FBI tried to make him an informant by trying to imprison him, failed, got into a gunfight, caused a complete shit show, and ended up shooting 2 additional family members from a sniper in one of the single greatest American shit-shows in all of Law Enforcement history. Randy's harassment was much lighter than Trump's most of the time, people literally harassing him verbally to his face, and working with the local government to make his life harder. He wasn't a big public figure so there wasn't a ton of slander before hand, and not much lawfare.

Alex Jones obviously comes to mind because he was the mock-run for Trump. But even then, Alex has only been pursued with lawfare around the Sandy Hook stuff. He's been slandered, but the amount of lawfare is much less than Trump.

After a certain point, we actually have to start looking into Leftist groups to find this level of lawfare and slander. There are some members of the Black Liberation Army that were legally pursued this bad... but they were actual terrorists that committed bank robberies, assassinated state's witnesses, and even murdered a judge. In other cases you have to go back to the early WW1 anti-war Socialists who were being locked up for protesting the war and things like that, but even they were less publicly defamed.

Really, Trump is a unique case because he's survived the longest, the defamation hasn't worked, and he's genuinely innocent.

One of them who was innocent was Richard Jewell who was the hero who managed to evacuate people away form a bomb planted at the Atlanta Olympics. Because he evacuated people, the FBI assumed that he planted the bomb because he wanted to be seen as a hero. So, he was harassed and persecuted by the FBI until he killed himself. The media was, of course, complicit in it. But, since he killed himself, he didn't get additional charges, and wasn't harassed for 8 straight years.
