Alan: The following passage was emailed to me by "CRO1" in response to my Kushner-Kislyak-Clinton meme above.
"Since she couldn't even be imprisoned for worse security felonies than got other people in prison, let alone destruction of evidence bigger than Nixon's, or election fraud worse than some third world countries against Bernie (which is why the DNC filed a brief stating they were not bound by the actual votes of the f**king voters!!!), - I would have to say the evidence indicates no. Law is applied differently to elites like her and poor plebes like us."
My reply:
"Poor plebes" sounds like "the victim card" conservatives used to find so repellent.
As for "elites..." The only meaningful definition of "elite" is financial. And in comparison to "the man in the tower with gold-plated toilet seats," Hillary's "fortune" is penny ante.
"Follow the money" and you find "Agent Orange" living every day of his presidency on the wrong side of "the emoluments clause."

"Follow the money" and you find that Kushner is the beneficiary of a quarter billion dollar loan from shady Russian bankers. (Hillary herself has amassed $51 million in the last ten years.)
If you aggregate Benghazi, "missing emails" and "private servers" you have a trio of relative trivialities in comparison to the in-your-face malfeasance Devious Donald embodies every day.

My second language is Spanish and for 25 years I have been an ombudsman for latinos in central North Carolina.
Every day I see Hispanics -- even illiterate Hispanics -- who succeed against "a stacked deck" while simultaneously I see a surprisingly large number of indolent whites who never learned saleable skills other than meth production and opioid marketing while waiting for Aryan-white Donald Drumpf to restore their oppressive ethnic privileges so they can enjoy (imaginary) "high-paying manufacturing jobs" (which capitalist automation is systematically destroying), coupled with "the restoration of coal" which is never coming back even though a large enough drug dose might make "true believers" hallucinate "Trump, Their Savior) whose dazzling ineptitude and bewildering self-destructiveness are on daily display.
Sure, Trump flips a cathartic finger at the so-called "elites." (Near as I can tell, "elite" refers to anyone who values fact-checkable knowledge over randomly-concocted opinion.)
At ground zero, Devious Donald fails to repeal-and-replace Obamcare; fails to build The Wall (much less get Mexico to pay for it); and increasingly turns to Schumer and Pelosi (Tommy can you hear me?) to build legislative coalitions because his own party is reduced to a bitchey umbrella organization housing combative factions that would rather rip one another's throats out than Hillary's.
Half an hour ago, the New York Times (Fake News! Fake News! Fake News!) published an article titled, "Trump Confirms Support For Law To Protect "Dreamers.""

If Hillary has committed the litany of actionable crimes you claim, why doesn't Trump "lock her up?"
What's he waiting for? I would love to see Trump prosecute Hillary!
Republicans "control" The Oval Office, The Supreme Court, both houses of Congress and have an Attorney General whose political sentiments lie to the right Mussolini.
As you say, "Law is applied differently to elites." The crucial question is: "When will the nations dimwits-and-addlepates realize they've given carte blanche to a self-interested megalomaniac who exploits their gullibility by creating a fake reality of alternative facts, conspiratorial meanderings and whole-cloth falsehoods.
The 1%: Smart Enough To Know You're Stupid Enough...
The volcanic anger erupting from Trump supporters is not a measure of their power but a measure of their impotence.
The 2018 mid-terms are just around the corner.
2020's presidential race heats up in a mere 18 months.
And "the smart money" says a recession starts next year.
For over a decade, American "conservatives" have prided themselves on obstructionism as their sole "achievement." (Obstructionism and the Gorsuch Supreme Court seat which should have gone to Merrick Garland.)
Fearful alarmists that they are, American conservatives have focused exclusively on "the trees," simultaneously blinding themselves to "the forest."
And in that forest, China is assuming global leadership, filling the void made by America's fractious civil war over spending and taxes so that our grid-locked nation draws ever nearer to "2nd World" status.
Soon, white America could look like a meth lab "from sea to shining sea."
