Jeff Sessions is going ham on drug traffickers – instructing US Attorney Generals to pursue the most ‘readily provable offenses’ with mandatory minimum sentences.
In a two-page memo issued to all US attorneys this week, Sessions lays out a policy of strict enforcement, rolling back Eric Holder’s more lenient policies under Obama.
This policy affirms our responsibility to enforce the law, is moral and just, and produces consistency. This policy fully utilizes the tools Congress has given us
By definition, the most serious offenses are those that carry the most substantial guidelines sentence, including mandatory minimum sentences.
In a speech earlier today, Sessions says he’s not targeting individual drug users – only traffickers:
“If you are a drug trafficker,” he said, “we will not look the other way. We will not be willfully blind to your misconduct.”
Furthermore, Sessions allows Attorneys General discretion when individual cases may not warrant a mandatory minimum sentence:
There will be circumstances in which good judgment would lead a prosecutor to conclude that a strict application of the above charging policy is not warranted. In that case, prosecutors should carefully consider whether an exception may be justified. Consistent with longstanding Department of Justice policy, any decision to vary from the policy must be approved by a United States Attorney or Assistant Attorney General
The memo infuriated previous Attorney General Eric Holder, who wrote a lengthy screed calling the new policy ‘dumb on crime,’ stating:
It is an ideologically motivated, cookie-cutter approach that has only been proven to generate unfairly long sentences that are often applied indiscriminately and do little to achieve long-term public safety

Sessions, however, argues that it’s the DOJ’s ‘responsibility is to fulfill our role in a way that accords with the law, advances public safety, and promotes respect for our legal system. It is of the utmost importance to enforce the law fairly and consistently.’
That said, you may want to revisit private prison stocks CoreCivic ($CXW) and Geo Group ($GEO). CoreCivic is currently flagged with a light oversold signal in Exodus.
This particular OS signal for $CXW (3 month) has a short track record, only having triggered once – however there’s another signal in Exodus which has a much longer track record; 8 out of 8 signals have returned an average return of 5.39% over a 10 day hold.

Yeah this is a tricky one. Drugs were rightfully “legal” before fuckhead lawyers got involved. But libtards make up 90% of addicts and dealers so…. Gotta take the good with the bad. When sitting in ones own puke and waste sick as fuck trying to figure out where it ALL went wrong. The ultimate red pill for libtards. No doubt.
Well, it’s all this…..
