Recently, we have had to endure a series of reminders that “no person is above the law” from a batch of folks, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio.
But that is not really true, is it?
There are many, many people who are and have been, at least so far, above the law. Here’s a very short list:
• Hunter Biden, and the “big guy,” aka President Biden, assuming he really did profit from whatever Hunter was doing with the communist Chinese, the Ukrainians or the Mexicans
• The honorable Hillary Clinton
• The FBI agents who offered whatever wound up being necessary for the FISA court to issue warrants to surveil the Trump campaign in 2016
• BLM rioters/“mostly peaceful” protesters
• “Mostly peaceful” pro-abortion protesters, either picketing outside the homes of Supreme Court justices or tossing the occasional firebomb through the windows of a pregnancy center
• The folks who gave you the wholly fabricated Steele dossier
• The 5 million people who have crossed the southern border in contravention of American law since Mr. Biden became president
**SNIP**
Given all this, it is small wonder that Mr. Trump’s followers are skeptical of the idea that no one is above the law. The legal system itself - like all other American institutions - with the possible exception of their church and local law enforcement - has proved to be a hollow and cynical shell. Federal law enforcement, rule of law and equal application of the law? Government? Schools? Medicine? The media? The military?
Consequently, federal officials telling pleasant fictions about no one being above the law only serve to highlight the distance between the elites and the people, between stated aspirations and ugly truths.

There is clearly a two tier justice system in this country. Because of that, we can never trust police or any DA.
He’s just using his platform to say what we all have been saying but do not have the megaphone to be heard.
Peter Schweizer wrote the book on this a couple of years ago.
Who is above law is determined mostly by the legacy media.
You are above the law if they “debunk” all the charges.
How did Liz Cheney make 30 million dollars in 6 years in Congress??? There’s one for you Merrick!! She’s a Republican so she isn’t covered by the Democrat Protection Plan!!
Actually, Tucker reported 36 million. Don’t short Liz 6 million. She would not be happy.
Alec Baldwin vesus the Kim Potter charges and prison time for the same mistake.
