Just making sure everybody realises (because the comment sounds a tad sarcastic), but that comment is completely true - the politicians have quite seriously exempted themselves and certain types of people.
What other certain types of people?
I don’t exactly recall all of them but I believe it was people doing things to do with “national security” so things like intelligence orgs, certain government orgs, military etc…
The guys that get them things without asking questions
Exactly those that should be subject to scrutiny.
