We as a society have grown too soft on prosecuting and sentencing those who consider themselves "elites", and on those that we the people have allowed special access, and the ability to take from and influence what is ours, and the right to make life very miserable for average Americans, and those can claim justice when there no justice has been served. We need to prune society and weed it and then take out the trash.
Specifically I'm speaking of those such as, and not just these two crooked "historians" who were able to get unfettered access to archives, but of law enforcement, elected politicians, appointed bureaucrats, judges, regulatory bodies, DAs and to many others that regularly abuse their appointed privileges, and it is because they are treated special and are connected and they get off before they are on the hook.
I favor a new mandatory sentencing law that would apply to those entrusted and sworn to protect and defend and represent society; yes those elite souls most likely to get just a tap on the wrist, and instead would receive an automatic three strike and "you are out" sentence that would mean serving a generation long (20 year) minimum sentence at hard labor.
Only if those who are so able to critically damage our society and who consistently believe they have the connections necessary to get off, understand that instead of getting off, that they will pay a very harsh price, will it ever change. We need to make harsh examples of the elite instead of making examples of the serfs.
I care mostly about honesty and ethics and integrity and not about the connections, politics, ethnicity of those involved. There are many who believe politics should justify and create exemptions and exceptions. I'm not one. My obsession is honesty in government and opposition to all political corruption.
