[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy shit, when will you realize that the DC City Council has no oversight of adult criminals or the Bureau of Prisons? Neither the Mayor nor the Council nor the AG had any part in whether this guy was released, how and when he was released, etc. [/quote]

No direct control is quite different from no oversight capability. The council had oversight hearings about the low prosecution rates of hate crimes under Jessie Liu, which lead to her increasing the number of hate crime prosecutions. As we know, the number of all prosecutions dropped significantly during that time, but apparently the council only cared about hate crimes (the oversight hearing was titled “Hate Crimes in the District of Columbia and the Failure to Prosecute by the Office of the United States Attorney”).
