The point of my argument is people are glomming onto partisan prosecutorial rhetoric to drive their Trump hatred into spittle-flecked overreach. These indictments are being levied by lawyers who are elected by the opposing party. Hell, Bragg even ran on a platform of indicting Trump. Folks who hate Trump see this as some sort of altruistic righteousness couched in law, when in fact, many of its motivations are purely political.

I'm sure there are political motivations baked into these cases brought against him. 

I also believe he'll easily be proven guilty of the majority of the various charges. 

So, I'm fine with that. 

If you want to go down the "if they can do it to the former president, they can do it to anyone" road? 
Sure, yeah.
 That all should be obvious. 
Yes, the law applies to everyone. 
If the folks across the aisle want to find legit crimes perpetrated by Democrat politicians, go get 'em, I say. 
Politicians committing crimes should always be a bad thing, and I support the prosecution of any of them if it's legit. Even if it's politically motivated -- if you can prove it -- so be it.

If the "Hunter Biden's laptop" witch hunt actually produces real evidence against Joe Biden? Throw the book at him too!
I am not in this for a party - and all about taking action to dissuade future office holders from making the same mistakes.

I have a friend who is a prosecutor.  I asked him about this one time.  I said, "these opening statements, and these closing statements, are so prejudiced, so biased, it seems unfair."  He replied, "we are supposed to be unbiased when we begin our investigation.  But by the end of it, we know what they did.  We had better behave as if we believe they are guilty, otherwise, how will the jury believe us? Of course we are biased against them, at that point."
