    The reason for this is both terrible and simple. It’s because they don’t want to be caught in obvious contradictions when “If a republican does it, it’s fine. If a democrat does it, it’s wrong”.

    This is absolutely so that if a Democrat president decided to do exactly what trump did, they’ll allow prosecution because “inciting a riot to steal an election is obviously not an official act.” This leaves the door open for Ken Star style witch hunts against their political opponents.
