I'm okay with guards for billionaires being rank amateurs unable to tell their asses from elbows.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Just take out the body guards first.
Drop an acorn and let them do the hard work for you?
If the billionaires enabling this shit don't rot in cells, it will keep happening.
100%, this creates precedent and normalizes this type of ‘meh laws’ behavior.
One lucky desk pop is all it takes. I believe in you, P320-carrying mooks.
Whoa. Are you saying "Big Balls" wasn't carefully vetted to access and share restricted information? This comes as quite a shock.
Considering between then and now a million other illegal things have been happening, I don’t think this will be a high priority for anyone.
If we want justice, this is why we need to hire many competent federal prosecutors. Undo the gutting of the justice dept that happened with doge/trump2, and then add to their ranks on top of that. Then each of them can have their own handful of high priority cases to ensure none of these bastards flies under the radar. This is precisely the type of enormous task which governmental institutions should be well equipped to handle.
So the people protecting elon musk with their lives aren't even the best of the best? Hmmm interesting to think about
Rules for thee.
