Worse than legitimizing wrongdoing, which is exactly what they're doing, they also are rubbing our noses in it and telling us that, not only can they break the law with impunity, there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. This kind of admission legitimizes their crimes and their ability to commit them, it also demonstrates most clearly (as if we needed such demonstration) that there really are 2 standards of justice, one for us deplorables, and a different one for the elites.

This has been the case in any capitalist country that ever existed. That is how the system works.

Get a clue: Tyranny and dictatorships are independent of the economic system being used. Feel free to prove me wrong by pointing to the government that is loaded up with moral and ethical politicians ?
