Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday directed federal prosecutors across the country to “use every tool we have” to investigate and prosecute violent offenders as part of his effort to crack down on recent increases in serious crime.

In a memo to the Justice Department’s 94 U.S. attorney’s offices, Sessions told prosecutors to work closely with federal, state, local and tribal authorities to target the most violent offenders in each district.

“Turning back our nation’s recent rise in violent crime is a top priority for the Department of Justice and it requires decisive action from our federal prosecutors,” Sessions said in a statement released late Wednesday. “I’m urging each of them to continue working closely with their counterparts at all levels, and to use every tool we have to put violent offenders behind bars and keep our citizens safe.”

I think at this point sessions is going to be completely ineffective. Need to get Rudy in there so we can go after the far more dangerous deep state actors.

Trump still has the Obama Adminstratioon Federal Prosecutors in office. They, the Obama goons, are calling the legal shots for Trump.
In a few months, they will overtly invesigate and perhaps, indict, Trump.
His policy is turning into a self imposed fatal wound.
