If the subject of an investigation or a defendant claims improper political motives or selective prosecution, it should be taken seriously.
The most important role is for the public. We need to destigmatize being attacked by Trump and the instruments of government he controls. When we hear that someone is under investigation, we should not assume they have done something wrong or even worth investigating. If they claim they are the victim of a political smear, we must believe them unless there is public evidence to the contrary.
