Senator Lee; The fact that it's easier to commit the offense [child pornography] shouldn't diminish the severity of the punishment should it?

Jackson: The point of the [sentencing] guidelines is to help judges figure out where in that range a particular defendant should be sentenced.

[some of her sentences for child pornography were far below even prosecutors recommendations]

Sullivan interestingly made a distinction between 'gaining access' to a system, for example to collect intelligence, and causing actual damage, when asked if Russia has been engaging in cyberwarfare against the United States. He declined to accuse Russia of doing so.

Price [State Department] keeps referring to 'reports' that accuse Russia of using people as 'human shields', targeting and abduction of journalists, indiscriminate bombing…unclear who the source of these reports is.

Cruz just showed quote of Jackson:

"sentencing is just plain interesting…because it melds together myriad types of law- criminal law, of course…constitutional law, critical race theory…"

Cruz: When you testified a minute ago that you didn't know critical race theory is taught in K-12 [Georgetown Day School], I find that a little hard to reconcile with the public record.

[Cruz then shows books: 'The end of policing', 'How to be an anti-racist', 'Anti-racist Baby'. that are either assigned or recommended by the Georgetown Day School]

Cruz quotes from one of the racist books for children from Georgetown Day School:

"can we send white people back to Europe?"

Cruz: You raised [in law school notes] significant doubts about community notification, and you heavily suggest that civil commitment for sexual predators is unconstitutional.

Jackson denied that as being in her notes.

Cruz: If the views you advocate in law school prevailed, civil commitment laws across the country would be stuck down, releasing sexual predators, and community notification and DNA bank laws could be struck down as well.

Cruz reading Jackson quote:

"…there are people who get involved with this kind of activity who may not be pedophiles who may not necessarily be interested really in the child pornography but have other motivations with respect to the use of the technology and the being in the group and, you know, here are lots of reasons perhaps why people might engage in this."

Cruz: Every single case, 100% of them, when prosecutors came before you with child pornography cases, you sentenced the defenders to substantially below, not just the guidelines, but what the prosecutor asked for, on average, 42% less.

Cases referenced:

-64% reduction

-17% reduction

-14% reduction

-88% reduction

-24% reduction

-41% reduction

Now sicko Coons will try and clean up Jackson's mess of a record.

Coons: Your record, in my view, demonstrates you're an even-handed, and impartial judge.

Jackson ordered USAID to release Clinton documents…I don't remember those. Were they of any value?
