When criminals are elected into political office, does that mean that they are above the law?
Very often times politicians who are also career criminals and/or have direct ties to organized crime use their power and the instruments of government to effectively put themselves above the law and utterly immunize themselves from criminal prosecution and investigation, even from federal law enforcement.
Their political office is wielded in a manner to protect themselves, each other, and to advance their nefarious criminal activities.
I believe that former (corrupt) attorney general Eric Holder and many members of the Obama administration comfortably fit within this category. Chicago/Illinois is well known for breeding crooked politicians.
