"A serious sentence is necessary to reaffirm a foundational principle of our criminal justice system: no one is above the law, particularly those entrusted with administering it," the DOJ says in its sentencing memo.

If no one is above the law, Trump would be in prison for life.
What they mean is “nobody dare oppose us”

Exactly, this administration is very often above the law and most of the US Constitution. They have zero room to complain.

That's a bit hypocritical, given the fact that the DOJ itself is actively undermining the justice system it's been entrusted to administer, by ignoring court orders and violating people's Constitutional rights.

So when the DOJ won't release the epstein files, despite a court order?

The party might as well call themselves “Haha We’re All Above the Law”

"No one is above the law," says man who's been given a specific Supreme Court decision outright declaring that he's above the law.

Rich coming from an admin that got out of charges because and when it won the election. That refuses court and congressional orders about releasing files that seem to bear his name thousands of times. That refuses to release ICE hostages when law tells it to. Trump and his GOP clearly gets to be above the law.

Wait a minute, she was convicted of felony obstructing a proceeding? Is that not one of the charges that wasn't allowed for Jan 6 idiots because of some bullshit technicality, like paperwork needing to be stolen or something?
