Part 6/8:
The Elites and the Justice System
A salient point of discussion involved the treatment of elites within the justice system. The panelists noted a recurring theme: those in the corridors of power often escape the repercussions of their actions, while ordinary citizens face harsher scrutiny. Trump's outrage seems to stem from a belief that he has been unjustly thrust from the elite class into the realm reserved for everyday citizens when facing prosecution.
As the political landscape evolves, the notion of an "enemies list" further complicates the debate. Patel, having reportedly prepared a list of adversaries, raises the specter of tactical prosecutions based more on grievances than on actual legal violations.
