If by "Defend" you mean point out that it's BS political prosecution and no one else ever gets charged with this, and point out that the court is making absurd value judgements, and that it's a waste of time and energy that only harms the country, then yes, I would.
I am, however, rabidly anti-both established parties.
I've seen a recurring subject on several conservatives leaning podcasts and commentators, that the Left tends to rabidly defend their people, no matter what, and the right will drop a schmoe at the first sign of misbehavior, and that in the Culture Wartm the Right might want to look at that, since it cost them folks on their side, and leads to folks taking deals with the enemy because they know they won't be backed to the fullest (cough Sydney Powell cough). I suspect as the younger folks come on line in leading the party and the culture you'll see that attitude catch on. "If he's our guy, he's our guy to the end. If he's not, bury him" Which is what you are seeing play out in the NY courts.
