Calling Attorney General Jeff Sessions new sentencing and charging memo unwise and ill-informed, Mr. Holder said the change in policy is not tough on crime. It is dumb on crime. 
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.

 is not tough on crime. It is dumb on crime.
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.

    EXACTLY what I was thinking... and so many other, I’d imagine.

    And yes this is inspired by Foghorn Leghorn.
 
To: rktman
    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.
