I struggle with your view more than almost any other.
I recall when Eliot Spitzer was busted for using high end escort agencies and I wanted him to do serious time.
Not because I think that is a crime that deserves time (as I don't) but because he was the law and order Governor cracking down on prostitution and trying to get those caught longer jail time.
For me it is a particularly bad offense if you are put in a position of power and you break the laws you govern. And even worse if you argue for stronger sentences against those breaking the laws thinking you will not get caught.
In my view those should be sentence multipliers and the full weight of law should come at you hard.
If those in charge of the law can break the law at their whim, the concept of law really becomes meaningless. It is not law, and is simply punishment for the weak and powerless.
Trump and Barr are the top two law enforcement agents in the country and for that reason they should be held way above the standard of average citizens.
