. . . investigative journalist Paul Sperry revealed Saturday that Jackson "heard horrifying details of 'sadomasochistic' torture of young kids including 'infants and toddlers' yet challenged the disturbing evidence presented by prosecutors and disregarded their prison recommendations to give the lightest possible punishments in each case."
Not only that but "in some cases, she even apologized to some of the kiddie-porn perverts for having to follow the statutes, which she called 'substantially flawed.'" Jackson repeatedly "made excuses for the sex fiends' criminal behavior and cut them slack in defiance of investigators and prosecutors and sometimes even probation officers serving her court who argued for tougher sentences because the cases were particularly egregious or the defendants weren't remorseful." This contradicts Biden's handlers' claims that her light sentences for child pornographers were "mainstream" and within "normal range."
The details are stomach-churning. "In July 2020," Sperry reports, "Jackson gave the bare minimum sentence to a defendant convicted of distributing images and videos of infants being sexually abused, and who had boasted of molesting his 13-year-old cousin, even though she knew the defendant refused 'to take full responsibility' for his crimes, a transcript reveals." The offender whom Jackson ensured got off lightly had posted a nude image of a two-year-old girl and a video of sex with a prepubescent girl. . .
. . . Jackson even apologized to one child pornographer as she sentenced him, saying: "This is a truly difficult situation. I appreciate that your family is in the audience. I feel so sorry for them and for you and for the anguish that this has caused all of you." This was a habit: to another, she said: "I also feel terrible about the collateral consequences of this conviction," adding that "sex offenders are truly shunned in our society, but I have no control over the collateral consequences."
As revolting as all this is, it doesn't look as if it's going to derail Jackson's confirmation.
