Oddly enough, to most of us on this thread - judging by most of the posts - it goes without saying that there's a balance of power stuggle, and the legislative branch is the one that weighed their side of the scale with illegal cash while threatening to lighten law enforcements side by cutting funding.
So you choose to invoke the democracy argument, also known as mob rule. If the vast overwhelming majority of members in a lynch mob support a lynching then it must be okay.
We live in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, with due process and separation of powers designed to trump the passions of the moment.

With their misplaced prosecutorial overzealousness the Justice Department has now compromised a perfectly legitimate investigation and allowed yet another DemocRAT to escape the consequence of his mischief and mayhem.
A good time was had by all.
