(1) The author forgot to mention that 96% of the people in federal prison have pleaded guilty to a REDUCED charge. In other words, the general public will have no idea what crimes these people have actually committed.
(2) The author forgot to mention that one third of federal prisoners are not USA citizens. Are they eligible for release?
(3) The author forgot to mention that President Trump has the power to pardon or commute the sentence of any federal convict. If thousands of federal convicts have been unjustly imprisoned, why doesn’t Trump release them immediately?
Answer - because Trump is demanding Congressional and MSM cover for releasing people he knows are going to commit new crimes!
Thank you. Many are big time drug dealers too. TONS of the stuff. Meanwhile this FAKE OPIOID CRISIS is based on LIES by Redfield and Kolodny and Krebs. Redfield’s 37 yr old son OD’d on Heroin/Fenatyal and has charges pending in MD for Illicit drugs. Kolodny owns Suboxone Clinics. Krebs wants more Research $$. All this is cloaked in wrong words. INTRACTABLE PAIN, also known as Intractable Pain Disease or IP, is a severe, constant pain that is not curable by any known means and which causes a bed or house-bound state and early death if not adequately treated, usually with opioids and/or interventional procedures. It is not relieved by ordinary medical, surgical, nursing, or pharmaceutical measures.
CHRONIC PAIN IS SHORT TERMED and can be treated.
Prescription drugs are Opioids or Pain Meds. Heroin etc are ILLICIT DRUGS either smuggled or made be dealers synthetic Fenatayl is the most faked, and most imported from CHINA through the USPS.

CDC head
On the face of it, veteran virologist Robert Redfield seems like a good pick to lead the agency, but decades-old disputes are shadowing his appointment.

This is just the tip of the FAKE Iceberg. Younger War Wounded Veterans are Committing Suicide at a higher rate as well as older Retired Veterans. Also INTRACTABLE PAIN PATIENTS are also committing SUICIDE at high rates that ARE NOT BEING REPORTED. Cancer Patients are being Denied the high doses of Pain Meds by CVS, Walgreen’s and Walmart. They may have to go to 10 or more Pharmacies to find 1 who is willing to fill their scripts.
Why would you FORCE a severe Osteoporosis patient and a Chemo bone weakened patient to take a Steroid shot that resulted in 5 Fractures in 1 week knowing Steroids are BONE DESTRUCTION DRUGS before they could have another type of treatment? Same goes for Gastro Patients why script Known GI upsetting drugs? Or Heart Patients drugs that are known to cause heart disease?
