"This policy affirms our responsibility to enforce the law, is moral and just, and produces consistency," Sessions wrote in a memo sent Thursday night to U.S. attorneys and made public early Friday. The move amounts to an unmistakable undoing of Obama administration criminal justice policies that aimed to ease overcrowding in federal prisons and contributed to a national rethinking of how drug criminals were prosecuted and sentenced. Critics said the change will subject more lower-level offenders to unfairly harsh mandatory minimum sentences. Sessions contends a spike in violence in some big cities and the nation's opioid epidemic show the need for a return to tougher tactics. "The opioid and heroin epidemic is a contributor to the recent surge of violent crime in America," Sessions said in remarks prepared for a Thursday speech in Charleston, West Virginia. "Drug trafficking is an inherently violent business. If you want to collect a drug debt, you can't, and don't, file a lawsuit in court. You collect it by the barrel of a gun." The policy memo says prosecutors should "charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offense" — something more likely to trigger mandatory minimum sentences. Those rules limit a judge's discretion and are typically dictated, for example, by the quantity of drugs involved in a crime. The memo concedes there will be cases in which "good judgment" will warrant a prosecutor to veer from that rule. But any exceptions will need to be approved by top supervisors, and the reasons must be documented, allowing the Justice Department to track the handling of such cases by its 94 U.S. attorney's offices. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-prosecutors-told-to-push-for-more-harsher-punishments/ar-BBB2Pgg |

This nightmare will end when a Special Prosecutor is named and republicans starts getting scared of the people in their districts. Senators Howard Baker and Barry Goldwater went to Nixon and told him the impeachment is unavoidable and Nixon was forced to resign and I can see the same scenario here with trump. America deserves a focused leader not a clown. 2 Likes |

Some of them are clamoring for Independent Investigations as we speak. Once that's accomplished, trump's goose is cooked. 1 Like |

From UK: Trump is an embarrassing, evil lunatic. He's in debt to the Russians financially and it is all in the tax records that he won't show. He fired Comey because Comey has the goods on him and now he's threatened Comey with "tapes." Nixon was brought down by his "tapes" and Trump is obviously too stupid to recall that. The fact that in his letter firing Comey, he mentioned that Comey had told him three times that he wasn't under investigation shows the depth of his paranoia and the fact that he knows he is guilty of being in the pocket of the Russians as are his minions. Trump is so gormless that he didn't have the guts to speak to Comey in person and fire him, of course, what else but cowardice can one expect from a draft dodger, a serial liar, and three time loser at marriage (I count the current one because the arm candy lives in NY and just shows up for photo ops periodically and is glad to not be in the constant clutches of the short-fingered orange crud.) And after his fall everyone who supported this anti-democratic figure should be denied the right to vote. They were willing to sacrifice the democratic state thinking that it would be in their interest so they are not fit to vote and should not have another opportunity to sell the highest good of a free nation. And while we are at it, the dumbos on this thread with the one digit IQ should be sent back to Nigeria. This is the political climate they deserve. Let them exchange for people with integrity who are willing to respect the luxury that democracy grants them. 4 Likes 1 Share |
