Justice Is Blind as a Bat

Compare and contrast.

Lie to a special prosecutor investigating a crime for which no one has been charged nor will anyone EVER be charged, because there may have been no actual crime committed. Sentence: Two an half years in prison. Quarter of million dollar fine.

Steal classified documents from the Nation Archives. Hide them under a trailer in a construction site so that you could retrieve them later, take them home and shred them. Sentence: Community service and temporary suspension of security clearance.

For the record, I have no real issue with the sentence in the first example, but maybe it's time for justice to pull of the blindfold and see what she's been missing.
