You do have a point here, but it doesn’t hold up when the DOJ has such an extensive history of going after other state sponsored hacking.

The DOJ goes after operatives and individuals - not heads of state or states themselves.

According to this story MBS is an operative. If heads of state decide to become operatives, perhaps they should lose any protections that might normally be afforded to them.
