    I recall there being a specific rule with that prison program that barred her because her crimes were sexual in nature.

    Egg on my face for assuming rules would apply to the President’s special lil’ child trafficker.

      To be fair this presidency is showing the flaws in our system. Too much of our society is based on “rules” not law. A president can change the rules in an agency as long as they follow the law*. Basically congress needs to step up and codify many of these rules.

      *That’s how it’s supposed to work, but you know Trump and the Supreme Court are not great

        While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

          Re-read the comment. This was already addressed.

          Either way when codified it will give power to a future administration to punish those that break the law if we ever get a president with the stomach for it
