Pleas & Bargains

Does US law only apply to a few? Should higher officials NOT be held to the same standards? What does it say about us, as a nation, when we have the highest incarceration rate in recorded history amongst all nations, including China, where their entire population outnumbers ours ten-fold? Why are the highest officials NOT held to the same account as a petty crack-cocaine dealer, while literally instigating a war which has cost over 1 million lives in Iraq? The number is over ONE million, actually. Out of sight, out of mind… as usual.
