As an excuse for his actions, one DEA agent told investigators that prostitution is “considered a part of the local culture” — Holder dismissed this line of reasoning outright in his letter.
“Regardless of whether prostitution is legal or tolerated in a particular jurisdiction,” he wrote, “soliciting prostitutes creates a greater demand for human trafficking victims and a consequent increase in…commercial sex slavery.”

"I want to reiterate to all department personnel…that they are prohibited from soliciting, procuring, or accepting commercial sex."
That was a friendly reminder from Attorney General Eric Holder to DOJ employees not to hire prostitutes even if it's legal in that country:
How about the AG pen a reminder letter to DOJ employees reiterating the obligation to cough up Brady material.
ReplyDeleteI want to reiterate to all department personnel, that they are prohibited from burying, hiding or destroying any information that undermines the government's claim to the defendant's guilt or demonstrates the accused's innocence, even if there are zero consequences for doing so.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
But this doesn't apply in Colombia, right?
ReplyDeleteRIGHT??
