Wall Street Journal editorial offers a perspective worth considering:

There’s no doubt that [the Comey Indictment] is a political prosecution with a revenge motive. …

“Yet please spare us the media narrative that this prosecution ‘shatters norms’ at the Justice Department. Mr. Comey led an FBI that spread lies about Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia in an attempt to defeat him in 2016. A member of his team lied to the FISA court to get a warrant to surveil an adviser to Mr. Trump’s campaign.

“The Biden Justice Department prosecuted Mr. Trump in an attempt to disqualify him for a second term. New York prosecutors indicted him, and Attorney General Letitia Jamescampaigned explicitly on a promise to find something to charge against him. Target the man, then find the crime. That is what Mr. Trump now wants Justice to do, but the Biden crowd was there first. …

“None of this justifies this week’s indictment of Mr. Comey. But it does go some way to explain why Mr. Trump has become a reverse Ahab against his enemies. A better President would have considered re-election the best revenge, but that isn’t Mr. Trump.”
