To distract from her record of giving child pornographers a light sentence 100% of the time.
Osoff: You've had a lot of poison thrown at you.
[her own judicial record]
Blackburn: Is it your position that child pornography offenders are not pedophiles?
Jackson gave a non-answer
Blackburn: You have an unmistakable pattern of releasing criminals with dangerous backgrounds into the community, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to exasperate the trend. You used the COVID-19 pandemic as justification to release a Fentanyl drug dealer, a bank robber, a convict who murdered a U.S. Marshal, back on the streets.
Blackburn quoting Jackson: "Each and every criminal defendant in the D,C, Department of Corrections custody should be released because of the COVID-19 pandemic."
Blackburn: Do you stand by your position?
Jackson: That was not my position….two sentences later I say 'we can't release everyone, there are people too dangerous to release'. The sentence there I did say, but only to lead up to my statement which was the actual ruling.
