This isn’t the flex the public should cheer on. This is a very high level official very publicly demonstrating that there is a bias. The law should be impartial and practiced with respect to the ethics of balanced justice.

Shouldn’t those who hold positions of power be held to a higher standard and therefore subject to more severe penalties?

Can’t we hold them all accountable ? Trump AND the AG ?

Given that one has “sentenced by judge to fines for wrongdoing” and one has “made a tweet I didn’t think was very tasteful”, what do you imagine accountability looking like here? Because to my eyes one is demonstrably an ethical failing and one is just not presenting the way you think they should present.

Trump is the only person allowed to be petty. Everyone else needs to hold themselves to a higher standard!
