    Jeff Sessions last act at DOJ was to sabotage federal civil rights tools, leaving local police departments free to abuse rights without fear of federal intervention.https://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/reforming-police-practices/resigning-jeff-sessions-handcuffed-justice …

        "In his final move as attorney general, Jeff Sessions on Wednesday issued a new policy that all but eliminates federal oversight of state and local law enforcement agencies that engage in unconstitutional and unlawful policing." #CivilRights #DOJ #Police

        That is true. But like many principles of govt & Const.findings...The #FedGovt is under-funded & / or unequipped~ to fulfill either responsibility due2 >manpower or simply regional political realities

        by design and that can be remedied if we stop sending billions of dollars to Israel and Saudi Arabia for the wholesale slaughter of innocents and fund our own government programs instead.

        Or giving elite donor class & corps massive tax cuts, and squandering money on monuments to DT’s “big, beautiful” ego (a wall).

        That too yes. But of course the goal is to allow law enforcement to continue their policy of genocide against POC so the underfunding and now discontinuation of the program makes perfect sense.

        When he was here in Iowa, he commented when his new law firm was up & running, “At least we won’t have to hijack Taco John’s WiFi anymore.” Just the guy you want as US AG. I’m hoping he is now over his head & gets fired or better yet...indicted.

        I've been listening to and reading everything I can on the situation. Finally people r discussing what I originally asked, why the heck is he allowed to occupy Sessions office, why not escort him out. BC Republicans won't act on it, so we wait till Jan. for House to do something.

        LRT: anyone thinking that Sessions has or will ever turn on tRump doesn't understand that every cruelty tRump inflicts on this country's citizens, is a fantasy fulfilled for Sessions and the GOP at large.
