At what point does arresting duly elected officials (who also happen to be candidates for office) rise to the point of electioneering?
Aside from the optics of being arrested a week before a primary election, it's a chilling method of dissuading potential candidates from even running for office.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process.
