Trump's national security team has generally been spared heavy criticism so far -- the worst thing I've heard about the obviously unqualified Tillerson is that he's out of the loop, which I guess is better than "he's lining his pockets" or "he seems to be a fan of school segregation" or "he wants to throw low-level drug dealers in prison for life."
But now that Trump has sent them all out to lie on his behalf, and cut their legs off a few hours later, they're fucked too.
And the administration has a valid argument in that the drug dealer creates violence because the addict commits crimes in order to feed his/her addiction.
They believe in harsh sentencing, I believe in ending the war on drugs and using the savings to fund treatment and reduce the debt.
But their logic is actually flawless even if you disagree with their proposed remedy.
And that's actually Jeff Sessions over at Justice that you are talking about.
