The US gov and justice system are not "insane".
Mentally ill? Certainly! But the ones destroying the country know exactly what damage they're doing. They are the product of a system built by oligarchs, for oligarchs; progressively corrupted by the most sociopathic &/or psychopathic capitalism can possibly enrich — crime pays, so the most criminally corrupt naturally excel to the top of capitalism — All a wealthy criminal has to do is hide behind the liability shield of an LLC, a legal team, a profit motive, and plausible deniability... as long as they do it for profit they're free to kill millions via the stroke of a pen, bribery (aka "donations"), etc, etc.
