America USED to be a country of laws, but that all changed during Slick Willie's regime - it became a banana republic. The laws don't apply to the "elites", only to the peons and little people.
“If America is a country of laws...”
America is a country of laws only for the schmucks. The “leaders” are too big to jail. They can do damn well what they want—they’re demi-gods and thus entitled. Its justice—just us, not you.
How fast would you be in jail had the FBI wanted your hard drive and you scrubbed it? Yep. Laws are only for the schmucks, not the demi-gods.
