The justice system is far from blind. And that is the point.

The people in control exercise power by deciding when the rule of law is applied, and when it’s suspended.

The other day we discussed how some people get 25 years in prison for driving while intoxicated, while others–law enforcement–only get probation for full-blown rape of a prisoner.

But the government also gets to manipulate justice when it comes to white collar crimes.

Take a recent example of two people who defrauded investors. Both committed real crimes that harmed others. One of them is hated by the media while the other was a media darling.

I am talking about Martin Shkreli and Elizabeth Holmes.
