I thought that there was precedence for this across both liberals and conservatives.
For those not watching McCloskey case while we have been focused on the election circus...... the entire case has fallen apart and a court has removed the prosecutor and her entire office from the case clearly stating she started the criminal prosecution for political purposes.
St. Louis Prosecutor Removed From McCloskey Case After She ‘Initiated A Criminal Prosecution For Political Purposes,’ Court Says

A St. Louis, Missouri, attorney has been barred from prosecuting Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who were charged after they were seen on video warding off rioters with guns outside their luxury home in June during nationwide unrest.
Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner was accused of having “initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes” after it was found that she had circulated two fundraising emails about the case to aid her re-election bid, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The McCloskey legal team argued that Gardner circulated one such email weeks ahead of the Democratic primary in August, the local outlet reported.
“Like a needle pulling thread, she links the defendant and his conduct to her critics,” wrote Judge Thomas Clark II, who determined the city attorney was unfit to prosecute the case, in a ruling reported by the Post-Dispatch. “These emails are tailored to use the June 28 incident to solicit money by positioning her against the defendant and her more vocal critics.”
