Department Of Justice Focusing On Porn Over Illegal Immigration, Corruption

Sigh...

Law.com - When FBI supervisors in Miami met with new interim U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta last month, they wondered what the top enforcement priority for Acosta and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be.

Would it be terrorism? Organized crime? Narcotics trafficking? Immigration? Or maybe public corruption?

The agents were stunned to learn that a top prosecutorial priority of Acosta and the Department of Justice was none of the above. Instead, Acosta told them, it's obscenity. Not pornography involving children, but pornographic material featuring consenting adults.

Acosta's stated goal of prosecuting distributors of adult porn has angered federal and local law enforcement officials, as well as prosecutors in his own office. They say there are far more important issues in a high-crime area like South Florida, which is an international hub at risk for terrorism, money laundering and other dangerous activities.

His own prosecutors have warned Acosta that prioritizing adult porn would reduce resources for prosecuting other crimes, including porn involving children. According to high-level sources who did not want to be identified, Acosta has assigned prosecutors porn cases over their objections.


Pathetic.

Our law enforcement agencies need to be focused on detecting and prosecuting real crime, not acting as the morality police.

Okay, so here’s the plan, guys.  We set up shop just south of the Rio Grande.  We give all wannabe illegals 100 copies of Debbie Does Dallas and tell ‘em the best way to make a buck in America is to sell the stuff once they cross over.  Technically, that makes ‘em ‘distibutors’ of consenting adult porn.

Then maybe this frigging administration will finally do something about the illegal immigration problem.

Once again, follow the money. How much does this person, Acosta, profit from these cases. There is no profit to his office in chasing terrorists and illegal immigrants. They can fine people for porn convictions, and they have money. And can get more.

I say lets do it LTM.

I’ll be in charge of the porn.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.
