I think many of us in the United States saw this coming when the current administration stated they would not be addressing the previous administration's law breaking.

The law is now "in your face" optional, depending on how much money and/or power is involved. Power has always had undue influence, it is just flagrant now.

From what I read, this is fairly common among many countries, so I take it as part of the "human condition."
