They're not criminals; they're sociopaths to whom the commoner law doesn't apply.
But, they DO commit crimes, so they are criminals.
It is just harder to prove because they write the laws to protect themselves.
Not all sociopaths are criminals!!!
@Serg97 I'm not saying all sociopaths are criminals, or that the special ones in charge don't do things that violate the laws that apply to the commoners. I'm saying that the law doesn't apply to our sociopathic ruling class so, among them, they don't see criminals but colleagues doing whatever is necessary to get move the agenda forward.
