[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plummeting prosecution rates by USAO were documented by Bowser admin in reports to the Council in 2017. Why were no alarms raised, hearings held, etc?[/quote] The Council actually did hold hearings about this in 2019. But in typical Council fashion, they made it clear that they were _only_ interested in the decline in hate crime prosecutions, not in any other crimes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-lawmakers-slam-us-attorney-for-skipping-hate-crimes-hearing/2019/10/23/0422ed1c-f5da-11e9-ad8b-85e2aa00b5ce_story.html The hearings lead to some more prosecutions for hate crimes, and since the Council didn't care about other crimes they just shrugged as the prosecution rates for everything else kept dropping. It's always crazy to me that these people kept getting elected.[/quote]
