Supposedly victims groups support Sessions? According to Flake

What about justice-involved individuals who may have suffered a conviction? They have rights too you know.

We need to ban the box and move forward with criminal justice reform to empty our prisons.

Well to be fair to that point Sessions was involved in prison rape reform

He is very pro death penalty though so take from that what you will

And, Sessions has been associated with cases prosecuting KKK. He also pushed the death penalty and saw that it was carried out. He also helped campaign against George Wallace. I don't understand why they are doing this.

And he's thrown white collar, including financial, criminals in jail. BHO and E. Holder could learn from his example.

Err. Are you aware, PP, that president and prosecutor are two entirely different jobs?

Really? Why was his DOJ awol on the biggest white collar fraud in history?

What are you referring to?

naughties mortgage fraud crisis, which is by appearances, a truly staggering act of crime, I can't think of any financial crime that has come close.

yes, BHO was a Pres, and Holder a prosecutor, but AFAIK, the only guy they prosecuted was a banker with a seemingly Muslim name: Serageldin. And the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission named, inter alia, Robert Robin as someone who should be prosecuted. And Bharara may have said that Holder and co. decided to not prosecute, which if even a little true, is a very damning thing for both Holder and BHO.

I get that it is easy for many to find Sessions distasteful, but viciousness and virtuousness are never wholly any one politico's preserve

I love it! Criticize lawyers and get the most pedantic defense ever: check out our list of wet-noodle lashings of FIRMS complete with fines that are small fraction of the $$$$ amount in question. Of course all of the individuals involved, many of who got frightfully rich off the crime, walk around freely

Sessions actually put financial execs in jail, maybe it's the only good thing he's done in his life, but I do give him credit for that

You sound like someone who knows nothing about the various laws passed by GOP legislators which make it nearly impossible to criminally prosecute individuals for these kind of crimes.
