If we look back in history, these people always claim that everything they do is "legal."

emails by Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner infringed on the McCloskeys’ right to receive a fair trial, Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II ruled Thursday, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Gardner’s emails suggested that by charging the McCloskeys in July, she appeared to have “initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes,” the judge wrote, according to the newspaper.
“Like a needle pulling thread, she links the defendant and his conduct to her critics,” Clark wrote. “These emails are tailored to use the June 28 incident to solicit money by positioning her against defendant

Exactly. Even the Soviets put a veneer of "legality" on their actions, when the only rule of law was whatever Lenin or Stalin or whoever said, at that moment in time.
Their law is:
Whatever advances our power is law.
Whatever works against us is illegal.
We decide which is which, on a case by case basis, at the moment of decision.
If we change our minds, later, then that becomes the law, retroactively.

The court decision is a beautiful thing to read.
They never broke the law. I don’t see another prosecutor bothering to charge them.

Agreed! Legal and moral are two different things and democrat judges are definitely not moral.
