You are right about Bush/Clintons/Mena. I always understood that was why the Bush DOJ carefully avoided any meaningful prosecution.

I used to believe/hope that Bush 43 was only protecting his father and his administration out of a wrong but well-meaning sense of loyalty to family even at the cost of harm to the country.

However, when Jeb calls Clinton "bro" and Bush 41 and "Bar" call him "son", a very different and even uglier picture begins to form. IMO it's not just blackmail. The Political Class has more in common with each other than they do with us, even when they pretend to be in opposition.

They are sort of like pro-wrestlers. On stage (in the ring) they are deadly enemies, fighting to the death, or time limit. Back behind the curtain, they are buddies, heading out for drinks together.

We know that is true with the Senators, for example. They fight on the Senate floor and buddy up for drinks at the end of the day.

They all have their public persona for the camera and their real face off camera.
