“rich people can afford good lawyers, and (most importantly) politicians are either immune or don’t resign when under investigation.”

True, seems company CEOs resign faster and for less, than some politicians nowadays. I have also seen similar situations in the Netherlands with some politicians. Not saying that being under investigation means you have been found guilty or are guilty. These are three different things.

“Being in the right and getting (judicial) Justice are two different things”, said a lawyer once.
