...so defending against an individual being subject to this unjust action of using the weight and power of the federal government against a political or personal adversary, enemy, or dissident will demonstrate that the objections aren't just a partisan political defense of Democrats or Democratic party interests.

This antipathy or objection about the consequence of his actions in that election cannot be assuaged or remedied by approving of, encouraging, or tolerating Trump perpetrating the very abuses we ostensibly object to against even this political rival of our own.

Moreover, it doesn't take much reasoning to conclude that Trump has likely put this Democratic antagonist forward for this abuse of power, cynically hoping Democrats will stoop to his level, acquiesce to this because of our own resentments, and absolve him of his dirty deed.
