To "Assume" Makes An ASS of U and ME

Here are two cases which show how the practice of "assumption" is unevenly applied in America:

(1) If a small business makes several cash deposits, it is assumed to be doing something illegal and the government seizes its bank accounts:

(2) But if corporations and rich individuals make huge donations to the Clinton Foundation (or whatever it's now called), we're not supposed to assume any quid pro quo is involved:

Does this make ANY sense to you? What kind of an idiotic country are we living in?
