I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

    Nah they’re just exempted.

    … because they have money/power. You think the judge let him off free just for fun? The judge got paid (or threatened) one way or another. If the du pont guy didn’t have the money/connections he did they would have locked him up and not given it a second thought.

    Same with Shelly Miscavige, there’s a lot of people with money involved. It’s an uphill battle. Nobody should be above the law, but it’s allowed because if you have enough money you can at the very least exhaust the resources of those trying to come after you.
