The law is quite clear as you have described, ignoring the law or considering some to be above that law is another matter entirely, our leaders have chosen lawlessness, or at the very least one set of laws for citizens and another set of laws for a new political royalty that is quite above the law.

There is no other answer possible.
We are no longer a nation of laws, but rather of men, there is no argument against this recent true fact.
