Look guys, that’s not how it’s done. You’re never supposed to explicitly say that you live by different rules than the plebs. You’re just supposed to make sure that anyone with the power to prosecute you knows which side their bread is buttered on.
Look to Hillary Clinton and David Petreus if you want some good examples of how to do it right.
