The administration seems to be pro-crime, which is very problematic.

Given that the President is a convicted felon who maintains that what he did was fine, and that he has pardoned thousands of unrepentant criminals, and that the vast majority of his party enthusiastically endorsed all this, I would say "pro-crime" is an understatement.

Pro rich people crimes. They remain very much against poor people who break the law.

No, they don't. The UnitedHealth dude who got shot had a CEO title, but Thompson was ultimately a middle manager.
The actual CEO of UnitedHealth Group–the one who signs off on its financial statements and fields quarterly calls–and the billionaire owners were fine.
