In a statement on the new policy, announced Friday, Mr. Holder said the decision “ignores a rare bipartisan political consensus that has formed around sentencing reform effort and will take this nation back to a discredited past.”

Enforcing the law is "dumb on crime"? This POS passes as intelligent in the DemonCrap political party.

Indicting Holder for Fast&Furious, for his
thugs used to stop Caucasian Americans from voting,
and his other crimes, would be a GOOD START.

Holder means Sessions should not prosecute crimes and do run guns to Mexico.

Found in contempt of Congress and given a slap on the wrist for giving AKs, ARs and other weapons to Mexican narco-terrorists, now Eric Holder is going to lecture grown men.
Go, I say, go away boy. You, I say, I say—you bother us.

I guess we are to assume that selling rifles to Mexican national drug lords is the way to fight crime?

I’d put a lot of faith in the guy that did that.
