James Clapper and John Brennan are among those who are &#8220;above the law,&#8221; along with Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton, who mishandled classified information and ignored congressional subpoenas. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the contemporary left increasingly justifies using the legal system as a tool for political justice, as seen with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who promised to pursue social justice instead of impartial justice. The left&#8217;s double standards and growing disdain for limiting principles is doing profound damage to the system. Democrats who think that the Trump arraignment won&#8217;t come back to bite them are mistaken. <\/p>\n<p>Conservatives, on the other hand, must be careful not to engage in wish-casting when it comes to the consequences of Trump&#8217;s potential indictment. Rather than relying on shifting norms that reward those most willing to use power, both sides should respect the rule of law and hold everyone accountable regardless of political affiliation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">David Harsanyi is a senior editor at The Federalist, a nationally syndicated columnist, and author of several books. <\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/brett-kavanaugh\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Brett Kavanaugh<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/harry-reid\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Harry Reid<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Hillary Clinton<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/james-comey\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">James Comey<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Joe Biden<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/marie-hirono\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Mazie Hirono<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/nancy-pelosi\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Nancy Pelosi<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lock Donald Trump up, or don\u2019t lock him up, but don\u2019t tell me that \u201cno one is above the law.\u201d It\u2019s one of the most ludicrous fantasies peddled by the left.
