Patel works for a President that the Supreme Court decided it should grant immunity to, and who routinely doles out pardons for his political supporters. There is now a whole class of people in America who assume the law is irrelevant to them, and it does not include the judge who was arrested.

There is almost no way to prosecute when the criminal decides what qualifies as evidence.

In fact, no one will if we don’t eliminate that right if kings.
History has already told us what happens next and it is rarely pretty.

They want a system divided into two groups of people, one group which the law protects but does not bind, and another which the law binds but does not protect.
This is what I see happening.

Wouldn't need to be this way.
So with upholding contracts that create capital and paying taxes.
They are not.
It was bad before but the restraints are off
FYI, Barr was Trump's AG & in charge of the Justice Dept when Epstein died.
The republic is broken, trust is gone. Pardon power needs to go away, SCOTUS reformed, and everyone criming
needs to go to jail.
That change being that you need a super-majority vote from both houses of Congress to confirm a pardon. Votes on an individual basis, no mass pardons. - Sort of like a reverse veto. Or a reverse impeachment.
American law enforcement has certainly evolved some peculiar traditions.
