> And then there's the fact that this guy had contacts to criminals that can create fake passports.

The fact the you are reading this on HN probably means that any one of us could have contacts capable of creating fake passports. I am certain that most tech savvy people with the right motivation could easily learn to use dark net tools and purchase fake documents within a few hours. This is 2016, contact with criminals no longer means hanging out in seedy drug dens or back alleys.

Absolutely not what was stated. Being able to create a fake passport or contacting someone who can do it is in no way comparable to actually doing those things.

It's 2016, where engaging in criminal activity is still a crime.

Tell me that when Hillary Clinton gets indicted, or Tony Blair gets charged, until then I will continue to say that the rule of law is increasingly farcical and the elite are not subjected to nearly the same kind of justice as the middle class or poor.
