No. Because everyone should be held in the same standard. The moment that one is given a special treatment over the other is when justice fails.
Judging someone for being "less" evil because they're just the average joe and not the president is grasping at straws. It's nothing but a scapegoat for bad behavior and just makes certain individuals to feel less guilty about their terrible actions.

Anyone in a position of "Authority" should be held to a higher standard.
Why? Because they are supposed to be setting the example for others to follow. They also tend to be individuals that are noticed allot more in the general public's eye.
From a justice/law perspective, they should of course be seen and treated as equals of course.

They're bound by the law as well. Your argument is irrelevant. Everyone should be held in the same standard of ethics. I'm done with arguing with you as you clearly think one rich crook is worse over a dimeless crook.
I'll say let's agree to disagree because nothing is being brought on the table to bring a fruitful argument.
