FYI, it's also a crime to lie to the FISA court and to lie under oath to Congress. The FBI did both, as did other members of the security state, most notably John Brennan and Jim Clapper. If we are a nation of laws not men then those in power need to be held accountable for their crimes too.

I agree that people in power should be held to the standards of the law.

The powerful people(prosecutors, for instance) use prosecutorial discretion to NOT prosecute those who are in the power. It is the revolving door, and collusion between powerful classes.
