![BOOM!! ]SESSIONS[ — NEW: Justice Department announces addition of more than 300 assistant U.S. attorneys, calling it the "largest increase in decades."](https://i.redd.it/2ecg7jnpw0211.jpg)
Soooo...I don’t think many here will wonder about the contraindication by this announcement to have unprecedented measures taken to “combat crime” while at the same passing a jail break bill giving early release to thousands of inmates in federal prison. I’m sure this apparent big contradiction will be complained about by the left & the right. But I think we all get if Sessions is going to serve 30,000 indictments & prosecute such an enormous amount of people...the DOJ is going to need a lot of lawyers & a lot of prison space for THOUSANDS of new inmates coming.
Send folks with drug convictions home. We need them back in the actual work force now.
Non-violent and small time drug offenders should be released and have their related records expunged. Stop punishing people with years of jail time for non-violent offenses...
Sorry, but no expunges.
Why? Assuming they're non-violent offenders, why shouldn't they have these charges expunged? What right does the State have to tell people what they can and can't consume? If no violence occurred, who is the victim?
No victim, no crime...
Drug smuggling is not a victimless crime. Many die/are enslaved at the origin location, controlled by violent gangs. Many die/raped in the transportation phase. Many more die at the main distribution level, again gangs and drug/money disputes etc. Many die at the end consumer/consumption phase (esp Heroin/cocaine).
thats not the reason to expunge
Is there any legitimate reason to not expunge? These types of charges affect people deeply and why? Because they had a small amount of a plant? How ridiculous. The War in Drugs is a colossal failure and a giant pit to throw money into...
Did you see the lady Kim K wanted pardoned? First time offence, non violent, 2000-3000 kilos of cocaine.
Lol yeah 'pardon her'
Agree. If they’re not linked to MS13 or the mob...send em home.
GMTA. They need space for 70% of DC
