The Opposite of Lynching

The current administration is well known for accusing others of what they themselves are doing.  It is like a compulsion to expose themselves.  The very definition of projection, where they project the heinous thoughts and actions onto others.
So it is with the use of the word lynching to describe the Constitutional process that is going on right now in the form of impeachment.  First and foremost, it is the sort of thing that the current administration baits its followers to do to others.  Debasing  people, making them seem less than human, so that in committing the crime of killing them it is not seen as murder because they are not human.
But think about it.  Lynching is pulling someone out of the protection of the law and due process.  Impeaching is the polar opposite of that, pulling someone in the the sphere of the law.  Here is the thing, though--when you are a criminal the last thing that you want is for people bringing your acts out into the light of day.  And it goes without saying that appropriating a lawless act as your cover is reflective of why the process is indeed quite necessary.
