I am a Christian and a retired attorney (I am no longer licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction ), former IRS revenue officer, and former naval intelligence officer. I am also a Son of the American Revolution and a Gideon. I oppose racism and antisemitism (please keep such stuff off my timeline).

Your logic lesson for today:

The genetic fallacy is the act of rejecting or accepting an argument on the basis of its origin rather than its content. Under the genetic fallacy, we judge a claim by paying too much attention to its source or history, even though this criticism is irrelevant to the truth of the claim.

If you understand the genetic fallacy you should realize that calling the originator of the argument a name is insufficient to refute the argument.

The solution is to hold all malefactors responsible; not to allow all of them to individually evade responsibility by pointing to the crimes of each other and claim that the crimes of the other guy or gal were worse.

Bill Barr: The Truth About the Trump Indictment

https://www.thefp.com/p/bill-barr-the-truth-about-the-trump

In short, giving a pass to Trump might cause more harm to the rule of law than honestly applying the law to him. The rule of law won’t be restored by further degrading the rule of law. As Andrew McCarthy pithily observed: “The fix for a two-tiered justice system is not equal injustice under the law.”

Why 'Team Reality' Isn't On Team Trump

https://townhall.com/columnists/scottmorefield/2023/06/19/why-team-reality-isnt-on-team-trump-n2624651

“ Trump, on the other hand, still insists that a 'vaccine' that has likely been responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide actually "saved hundreds of millions" of lives. His ego won't let him admit he was wrong on anything, and so even to this day he continues to double and triple down, hoping enough people will forget to allow him to win the presidency anyway.”
