Subject: Some good news: Crime is down in DC
Just looking at the numbers. Crime is down from 2023 highs but on track to still be above 2022.

Carjacking is also down over last year but juvenile carjacking is up.

No one should be dunking the football about this and it reveals that while everyone is focused on the USAO, juvenile crime is a major and growing problem that rests at the sole responsibility of DCs democratically elected AG.

Seriously. If you are unhappy with USAO’s work, let me introduce you to juvenile crime in DC, courtesy Karl Racine and Brian Schwalb.

People who were upset about the proposed criminal code and who hailed passage of the updated version ought to realize that none of that makes any difference if the feds won't prosecute the cases under the new laws.
It’s hilarious that you think Brian Schwalb would be more aggressive at prosecuting adult crime than the USAO.
