The argument for Bill Clinton, and for others of his ilk in the ranks of the Lords, is pretty much that "they rose to the pinnacle of society, so how can we expect them to serve jail time?"
We can go down the list, if you'd like:
Bill Clinton - felony perjury in a federal judge's face
Charlie Rangel - tax evasion
Jon Corzine - 1.7 billion in co-mingled customer funds stolen
Eric Holder - felonies galore, unprosecuted
Elijah Cummings - using the IRS to target political enemies, conspiracy and many, many others.
Now we have this peasant Cornealious who was slated to go to jail, but the lackwits who run the state of Missouri FORGOT to incarcerate him, thus exposing the other peasants of Missouri to danger if he had been dangerous.
He rises to the pinnacle of his talents, like the others above, and becomes a productive member of society.
He's got to go to jail, though, because he's not one of the Lords.
You should fear a government that has no common sense, and has two classes of Law, one for the peasants and one for the Lords.
Strange that you don't get it, after watching the foul sludge of our government Masters flow by on Free Republic all these years.
No offense but I don’t find your arguments compelling.
BTW you have a nice short list of criminals who have skirted justice and need to do some time. No wonder people get so cynical. I include myself in that category. :-)
