I just cannot agree with you here. Protected from political persecution perhaps, but not from criminal prosecution. There is no reason on earth that any politician, bureaucrat or public employee should be able to break the law (in many cases, we see it being done flagrantly) and get away with it just because of who they are or the office they hold/held. In fact, I argue that they must be held to a much higher standard. Perhaps the threat of prosecution and accountability might give them incentive to obey the law in the first place!
What you and I know to be criminal acts are just ‘differences of opinion’ to the political class, who do not feel bound by the rules they make for us ‘little people.’
I’d like to see Hillary go down. I’d like to see DC mucked out (with a nuke if necessary) but the consequences for subsequent elections and for what remains of the Republic could be very bad.
There are so many laws that pretty much everybody is a felon, esp. anyone with ambition or achievements. If politicos face prosecution after leaving office or losing an election, then the civil war is inevitable.
