You saying so is just reinforcing the notion that they are. Yes, they have an advantage in our flawed legal system, NO THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW, no matter how hard they try to act like they are.

Thank you.

The last White House occupant that openly committed treason. WE ALL SAW IT. Bye will NEVER go to jail.

On edit: the people who stormed the Capitol so far are getting nothing. Even a judge commented on that fact yesterday.

Allowing random wealthy high status individuals to break laws without consequences means there were no laws to begin with.

Laws hold power accountable.

Without laws there is only power.
