Bad precedent to indict candidates due to future political indictments of candidates? You need good crimes to indict anyone. Minor crimes and manufactured political prosecutions won't cut the mustard. Ever. The public will see right through it. The greatest deterrent would be to indict TDFG whenever the indictments are ready. An indicited GOP candidate on the ballot? They've earned it.
