Because the whole gov't is corrupt!

While Hillary (and Bill) are by far the prime example, power does have a lot to do with it for many others getting away with things we "little people" can't. And now combine power with politics, which it of course always was, but increasingly with a certain persuasion of politics.

I'd say beginning will the rise of Progressive Liberalism, power was supplemented by whether you followed the "right" worldview. The more you are in good standing with the Left, the more will be overlooked. which in turn has been further supplemented by the shift of the modern press and "journalism", with few exceptions, to following the the Left's agenda and "advancing The Narrative", rather than that old-fashion objective search for the Truth. Hence, again with thankfully ever-growing exceptions, people in the category of the Clintons are simply not going to be seriously investigated by the MSM. And given the fact that, unfortunately, the majority of Americans still get their news from the MSM, and therefore it's effectively that no investigation is done. (Fortunately, that is changing in the right direction, too.)

I think a great example (although some may disagree) is Nixon. Hard to say he was not "powerful" by any definition. He was POTUS for God's sake. And he had a lot of very powerful friends. But I felt at the time, in my early 20's, having read Rand and "seen the light", that if the exact same actions, including the cover-up, committed during Watergate, had the been committed by a POTUS with a "D" after his name, there would have been no Woodward/Bernstein, no Pulitzer, no "All the Presidents Men". If it made the MSM at all, it would have been a "ho-hum, everybody does it" story, even in 1972.

Finally, as a final thought on power, I also believe that ideology may be more of a factor than power now in terms of who gets away with what. Being from Detroit, and also an Economist, I paid a lot of attention to it's years of immense prosperity that I am old enough to remember, to watching to tortuous 40 year decline to bankruptcy. Yes, the Democrats destroyed it, and of course they had some power, but nothing in comparison to the Clinton's and their like in DC. But what the crooks did have was the right ideology, party backing, and I'll say: race, to get by with graft and corruption that "you and me" would never have gotten a pass on.

It's different for the same reason the standard of sexual behavior is different for Mr. Trump. She's got enough money and power to corrupt anyone she wants to buy, and there are very few in Washington who aren't for sale.

I have noticed that too

I think it's time to accept that it's a war and not waste time with people who don't respect you. It's easy now- if they vote for Hillary they are not your friend

Fox Business Channel is more sane. BT

"I have noticed that FOX has switched to giving Hillary preferential treatment since the last debate. Someone high up was bought off I think and they are trying to be "balanced", whatever that means."

Have also noticed that............am running it through the gristmill of my mind. BT

Excellent. BT

"drain the swamp"
That is the key phrase! BT

Thus far, I have tried to keep away from politics in terms of Facebook (friends, etc)... in particular, as it applies to my immediate neighbors. I am capitalist-libertarian-conservative ... whereas they are hard-left libs... John is on SDI and Mary teaches underprivileged kids at a govt. school. He tends to keep quiet on politics - knowing that we're on opposite ends of the "freedom spectrum" (plus the fact that he enjoys walking his dogs up on my acreage). She buys the entire Lib platform as religious orthodoxy. It is frustrating. By and large, we have so much in common ... but one of us votes for individual liberty and the others vote for the power of the state. Whenever there is a proposed tax increase, Mary will say "The state really needs that money." There is apparently no thought that the individual who earned the money need it (um, that's why they got jobs and / or started businesses!)

A good number of my running friends are serious libs and progressives -- and they are quite vocal (in social media) about it. So far, I have had no rebuttal or comments on their posts ... go along to get along. But my patience is getting thin. I suppose that I'm just venting a bit on this here in The Gulch . . .

I just got the impression that FOX was leaning to hillary since the last debate. Totally an impression.

I'll take your word for it. I are very rarely watch The Five since Beck left that slot.
I just took a quick look at The Five. Saw Miley Cyrus and a brunette celebrity I did not recognize shown trying to encourage students to vote Shillary.
I like to catch the opening of the O'Reilly Factor but I often wander off after that. That's usually when I eat with a TV table.
Sometimes I catch some Hannity on the car radio like today.

And then they pardon and give monopolies to other big criminals.

Little criminals go to jail. Big criminals get elected.

But I noticed that the rest of their "reporters" have started giving hillary more time to spout their propaganda and trashing trump more than they used to

Don't think they've shut Hannity up.

It`s different simply because we allow it to be. Us, you and me, along with millions of others, allow it.

We have a new aristocracy in this country, and they're heady and drunk with power. The level of arrogance and condescension is such that they feel no shame nor need to hide their corruption. If past history is any gauge, they will either have to take a deep breath and try to become more responsible, or the pitchforks and torches will be the first indication that the natives have had enough.

I have unfriended anyone who votes for Hillary !! Life is too short to waste on people who dont respect me. Having voted for Hillary is a GREAT indication of that.
I have noticed that FOX has switched to giving Hillary preferential treatment since the last debate. Someone high up was bought off I think and they are trying to be "balanced", whatever that means.

I am not a Federal Prosecutor, but if I was, Hillary and the Clinton Foundation would have a big, red bulls eye on them. I saw first hand how things worked as I had the sad misfortune of being stationed in Dirty City during the reign of Bill, Hillary and their minions. Having to deal with them on a at least weekly, if not daily routine, I had to give security training and scope of operations to habitants of the White House, personnel at the Pentagon and many other facilities that had access to secure communications. I have nothing but distain for the Clinton mafia and still think they had a hand in more than a few murders in Mordor (Vince Foster) and backwater Arkansas after the White Water scandal.

The legal standard isn't different for Hillary. What's different is that we allow them to treat her differently. We no longer have a respect in this country for our laws. It used to be "obey the law or cause the law to be changed". Change is coming, but it's not the laws that are changing, it's the acceptance of criminal behavior by the elite and other minorities. The big problem is that half the population accepts this and the other half is unwilling to do much about it. Personally I see it as treason against the country. This is not supposed to be happening in this nation. Perhaps it's part of our transition to some other form of government leadership, like Iran's or North Korea's. It will come out to whatever we vote for, or rather whatever the outcome of the election dictates.

Me dino once respected Glenn Beck, especially when he exposed all the activities of George Soros even though it cost him his afternoon TV show on Fox.
Was noticing him unravel since then.
But to endorse Shillary?
Believe that ties in with what Michael Savage saying about liberalism being a mental disorder.
I have no use Glenn Beck has to say about anything ever again. Same goes for anyone who votes for the evil hag.

Funny that only the supporters who give large amounts of money actually get anything in return. The so called 'little people" get promises and no action- even though they think that "stronger together" means THEY will get goodies.

Why is the legal standard different for Hilary? Simple. She has both the Justice Department and The FBI in her pocket. Why? We can only imagine. But one more thing to contemplate is that the heads of those divisions are complicit in her crime(s). If Trump does nothing more than "drain the swamp" of these criminals in Washington, then he's worth voting for.

I am not a person of religion, but my mother would say from your mouth to gods ears.
