She'll be treated like the son or daughter of every other President who has "misbehaved". Privilege is not a partisan guardian.

But she'd not the son or daughter of a president (yet). She's the neice of a president. She's also the granddaughter of a president. She also the daughter of a governor. The story (from yesterday) is a "breaking news item" today.

The headline she generated is that she is the neice of somebody famous. Certainly is peculiar given that her dad is a bigger influence in her life (but then the story just isn't as big).

The point that I was trying to make (obviously not successfully) is that privilege has always been an advantage when the need to extricate oneself from a run in with the law presents arises. And I don't think applying it to the niece, as opposed to the daughter, of a powerful man mitigates it in the least.
