    8. Consider the massive blunders & crimes that have gone unpunished or not nearly punished enough: Vietnam, Watergate (Nixon pardon), Iran/Contra (many pardons), Iraq war, torture, 2008 meltdown. When do elites pay for their crimes?

        Elites usually only pay for their crimes if they become so egregious that the people see no other alternative than over throw them.

        Most of the movements to "make the elites pay for their crimes" end badly.

        Especially when you define a "crime" as a Constitutionally granted prerogative (pardons, military interventions).

        Iran Contra just keeps paying dividends. cf: Iraq, our current Attorney General.

        They don't. And when someone tries, as Congresswoman Ostacio Cortez did with Venezuelan envoy Elliott Abrams, they get reminded that that's not how the game is played.
