"Elite Deviance"

Roger Stone explains:

 '[E]lite 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," said Professor David Simon in his landmark book "Elite Deviance". Elite deviance is a phenomenon in which those with enough wealth, political influence and personal connections can immunize themselves from the consequences for illegal acts that in the rest of the lowly world would bring severe, if not life-ending, repercussions. Jeb is nothing if not a elitist.
