As autocracy expands, so does the definition of "poor".
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Wilhoit's Law
How many lawsuits were dropped and people pardoned at the discretion of the sitting president? Wasn't he the target of many legitimate lawsuits that were dropped? Didn't he pardon a bunch of people, including convicted fraudsters who grifted millions of dollars, relatively recently?
Somebody in particular is above the law, as are all his cronies.
Strictly true but practically false. SCOTUS decided in Trump v. United States that core Article II actions by the president are completely above the law. Official actions are presumed to be immune from criminal liability. Non-official acts are not immune but get a free trip up to SCOTUS for adjudication before any trial can start. The one exception is if Congress impeaches.
