"The Clintons’ lifelong history of lying and violating the law, seemingly without consequence or punishment, is a phenomenon known as elite deviance. Elite deviance is a condition sociologists say exists in a society when the elite of that society no longer believe that the rules apply to them. “It is not due primarily to psychopathological variables, but to the institutionalization of elite wrongdoing,” says Professor David Simon in his landmark book now in its eighth printing, Elite Deviance. Elite deviance is an anomaly in which a tiny few people who have enough material wealth, political influence, and personal connections can immunize themselves from considering the consequences of their most abhorrent, destructive, vile, and even criminal behavior."The facts in the book are well-researched and documented. The denials are, as usual, big and showy. Yet, it takes guts for ordinary people to stand up and be heard when an avalanche of threats, bribery, psychological warfare and physical bullying are encountered.
