What We Discuss with Elie:
🤑 How the rich and powerful exploit flaws in the justice system to evade accountability while being able to afford lengthy trials and secure better plea deals.
🤑 Why using wiretaps and flipping complicit parties are essential tactics for gathering evidence against the people at the top.
🤑 How intermediaries are used to shield the rich and powerful from being held responsible for crimes committed in their name.
🤑 Why donations to political candidates can lead to special treatment during prosecution, indicating potential corruption.
🤑 Why we shouldn’t completely abandon faith in the justice system despite its numerous imperfections.
🤑 And much more…

Ideally, when the boundaries of law are breached and somebody must be held accountable for their violation, the justice system would give everyone equal and fair treatment in the process of rooting out the guilty party. Unfortunately, as we all know, the rich and powerful not only play by different rules than the rest of us — they own the board on which the game is played.

Here, we discuss the loopholes that allow people with enough money and power to circumvent the legal system, how law enforcement pushes back against such abuses, and why we shouldn’t completely abandon faith in the justice system despite its numerous imperfections.
