Tom Cotton on Sentencing Bill: ‘Almost Mathematical Certainty That Someone Is Going To Commit a Heinous Crime If This Bill Passes’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COTTON: “We have a problem in this prisoners should be given a helping hand in prison to get back on their feet once they paid their debt to society so they won’t be a menace to society. They passed a bill that is the first step toward that. In the Senate, it has become an early release and sentencing production bill. As you mention come up to 2500 series drug traffickers are going to be released almost immediately, within weeks or months of the bill passing. These are the 2500 that were so dangerous, not even Barack Obama would commute their sentences. It is an almost mathematical certainty that someone is going to commit a heinous crime if this bill passes.”
