as determined by the ruling party?

  If you refuse to see the system investigating your chosen candidate as legitimate, then I suppose you could describe the process of the rule of law in hostile and bad faith terms, yes.

    They're legitimate, in that they "hold the reins of power". The legitimacy of the election by which they came to hold that power, is still disputed by a significant portion of the population.

      So, if we are talking about Trump: 1. I don’t think he is Alvin Bragg, Jr.’s, leading opposition candidate, unless the news has misreported what position he has declared he is camapaigning for, and 2. I am unaware of any signficant debate over the legitimacy of the 2021 election for New York County District Attorney.

      > The legitimacy of the election by which they came to hold that power, is still disputed by a significant portion of the population. No, it isn't. Even Fox News was caught out admitting they knew the "stolen election" conspiracy was nonsense, they just pushed it for ratings. It being "still disputed by a significant portion of the population" is delusional.
