E.g. Trump's threat to fire the AG for not opening investigations seems official, if a bit unethical. So the righties' rhetoric about "Biden's persecution of Trump" is nonsense. It would (now) be a clearly official act for Biden to threaten the AG for refusing to open an investigation into Trump. But the conclusions of that investigation are another matter. The effects of such acts percolate down through the admin, then back up through the courts. What's missing in action is the 3rd branch, here.
