      sara mayeux Retweeted Eric Holder

      the premise of this op-ed & tweet seems to be that career prosecutors Yates and Holder did not themselves send ppl to prison unnecessarilyhttps://twitter.com/EricHolder/status/878428938757963777 …

      sara mayeux added,

      Sally Yates is right and Jeff Sessions is dangerously wrong. Making America scared again won’t make us safer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/making-america-scared-again-wont-make-us-safer/2017/06/23/f53d238e-578a-11e7-ba90-f5875b7d1876_story.html?utm_term=.0a33b8cf7655 …

      In retirement, everybody's a reformer.

      Kamala Harris counts as retired? (As a prosecutor, I guess! (Maybe.))

      All ex-prosecutors are reformers but not all reformers are ex-prosecutors! (This tweet counts as a perfect LSAT score right)

      in fairness I don't think Jeff Sessions is going to be a reformer when he retires

      I dunno. I watched Jeff Sessions talk about solving trans killings and recognizing LGBT pride yesterday, so I'm a bit confused about things.

      That just shows his carceral instincts are stronger than his anti-LGBT instincts, no?

      On the hate crimes stuff, sure. (As I said when he put out the statement in the release earlier.) But, that answer was a bit more.

      I was genuinely surprised. Who knows what, if anything, will come of it. But, here we are.

          I have heard...conflicting narratives on this. For everyone who agrees with you there's someone arguing he signed on to keep it from 1:1

          That makes sense. The legislation (and his positions) on this shifted a lot.

          I mean, he proposed adding a death penalty punishment to the hate crimes bill as a poison pill.
