#2 On the morning of May 12, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed that he had instructed federal prosecutors to begin pursuing lengthier prison sentences for drug ~~offenders~~ traffickers.

FIFY. HUFFY wants you to think of poor addicted users. Wonder what Huffy would say if some major food supplier (the suits) was found pushing tainted products they knew would harm the consumer? /rhet question

#3 "It was a draconian change in approach..."

Former AG Holder instructed federal prosecutors to ignore sentencing guide lines. Now AG Sessions comes in and instructs prosecutors to revert back to pre-Obama days. And as "draconian" as it may sound to some, he's telling prosecutors to follow the statutes as written. Kinda old school really - back before laws could be changed with a cell phone and a pen.

#4 "growing bipartisan agreement on sentencing reform." Well if there is bipartisan support for sentencing reform then reform sentencing, don't tell the law to not do their jobs.

#7 Besoeker, in a word, yes. Trump is playing "Watch this hand over here" while the other hand is busy undoing and fixing Barack's legacy of failure.
