Laws are an important element in a perfect society; it keeps a society together and function properly.

She already had cases where it was pretty obvious that she did not follow orders, yet she is still free until now acting like she did not do anything. This just proves how unfair the society is. For example, Committee Chairman Priebus said that, “The fact that Hillary Clinton did not abide by the same rules her State Department employees had to comply with is just the latest example of how the Clintons think the rules don’t apply to
