look at the appointment of jeff sessions, the nomination of william barr. these men literally have fought every step of the way, any type of criminal justice reform, have said they don't think mass incarceration is a problem. william barr wrote the book on mass incarceration. he literally wrote the memo on what it looks like to use mass incarceration. the need for the drug war and the need to ramp up here. and has not disavowed that in the last 30 years who many people have. they have said, i went to far. and there were, not even unintended consequences, but a level of consequences that impacted communities too harshly. it's important to look at the trump record in that context. secondly, one more thing on that point, they infect tried to roll back criminal justice reform so significantly that they were trying to prevent people going into a diversion program from becoming federal employees. diversion programs are set up by states and localities and courts specifically so people do not end up with a conviction record, so they don't get impacted by the collat
