Last week, AG Holder decided not to prosecute anyone for torture or murder of detainees in the War on Terror (over 100 detainees were murdered or killed under the Bush administration). This country has also decided not to prosecute anyone for the financial crimes that caused our current depression. No one is going to be prosecuted for the War of Aggression on Iraq (just like no one was held accountable for our prior Wars of Aggression) and no one was held accountable for failing to protect the American people on 9/11/01. And no one is currently being held accountable for the drone murders.
And it goes back further than that. No one was prosecuted for the Iran-Contra crimes, and the folks behind those crimes are also the ones behind the war crimes on Iraq and the planning of war crimes on Iran. A War of Aggression is the worst crime of all crimes, because it spans so many other crimes that are massively hideous.
I really don't see how this country is going to make it long-term when big crimes are ignored or rewarded, even while the law comes down hard on the little people who commit little crimes or even victimless crimes. The financial crimes alone will crush us one day.
