Remember "no one is above the law"? Neither do the Democrats and lefty media.
The Democrat and anti-Trumper hyperventilating about the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey as being part of a Trump "vengeance" campaign is truly rich considering what we've seen these last few years. The Democrats were celebrating over this one:
BREAKING: The sheriff's office in Georgia has released a booking photo of Donald Trump. He is the first former president to get a mug shot taken. https://t.co/gOj7AepBKb pic.twitter.com/4WRwHBQC87

Fast forward a couple of years, and now the Democrats are melting down over the Comey indictments (and to a smaller degree the FBI raid of John Bolton's home and office where they reportedly found classified documents) while pretending it's some sort of unprecedented event.
We've now reached the "'democracy' has to be destroyed in order for us to save it" stage from the Left. The Atlantic has served up a take that seems to depend on the reader not remembering what's taken place over the last several years:
“Now that President Donald Trump is perverting the Justice Department into an instrument of political persecution, jury nullification may be one of the only mechanisms that everyday Americans have to protect the rule of law,” @AdamSerwer argues: https://t.co/7FSCVksbhM

As usual, if you want to know what the Dems are up to, just watch what they're accusing their political opposition of doing.
Trump had a judge presiding over his trial in New York that literally donated to his current political opponent. There was no outcry about that. They want political judges when they're prosecuting and politicized juries when they're being prosecuted. https://t.co/8GlPHYqgRY

An administration and a political party turning the system into an instrument of political persecution? I've never even heard of such a thing! Oh wait...

We're supposed to believe that all of those cases were completely legit and not driven by politics whatsoever.
Cool, cool...now lemme see all Adam's breathless observations from back when the dems literally weaponized every single justice agency....🙄

The "plan" here in the story in order to save democracy and the legal system is to not convict anybody the Democrats would like to protect.
The prosecution of Trump’s political enemies requires the assent of a jury of their peers, and their peers can say no. They can say, We do not accept this corruption of the law and the Constitution; we do not accept the use of public authority as a mechanism of mafia-style coercion; we do not accept that a president who seems to believe that he is a king can throw his enemies in prison. That is the jury’s right. Every time Trump tells his lackeys in the Justice Department to prosecute his foes, the jury should refuse to let him do it.
[...]
When Trump tries to indict his political enemies on pretextual grounds, grand jurors have the option of refusing to indict. When prosecutors ask for a conviction, jurors can refuse to convict. The Trump administration can treat this government of the people as his own mob enforcers, but the people need not acquiesce. When Trump abuses his power to settle political scores, the people can choose to nullify.
You'll notice that nowhere is the possibility the person indicted might actually be guilty of a crime even given consideration. In other words, some people should be above the law, because "Trump bad" or something.
So you know he’s guilty. Thanks for playing.

If his opponents are not guilty, why would juries need to nullify?

And that's the question of the day! If the Left were to respond honestly, the answer would be simple: "Because certain Dem-approved people should remain above the law." The Atlantic just basically said it out loud.
