There are no “secret laws” or “secret courts” involved insofar as the examination of the behavior and actions of the Clinton Family Crime Syndicate is proceeding.

The law books are open and available for any to peruse, and for prosecutors to apply in open court.

Herself certainly had time enough to become acquainted with the letter and the spirit of the laws which the entire Clintonista machine has knowingly and blatantly flouted again and again.

Flout - To ignore or disregard (a rule or convention, for example) in an open or defiant way.

You miss the salient point: if ignorance of the law is no excuse is completely valid and if taken to its logical conclusion then secret laws are the best, for this would allow the ruling powers to prosecute ignorant lawbreakers at will and allow for them to be modified (enacted, amended, etc) in secret.

I seem to vaguely recall that a European nobility did this (writing laws in another language that the commoners couldn't read them) -- I think it might have been the Normans using French as the law-language on the English, but I'm not 100% sure.
