On Friday's NBC Nightly News, correspondent Hallie Jackson filed a report that focused on concerns by liberals about Attorney General Jeff Sessions giving orders for federal prosecutors to charge criminals with the aim to give tougher punishments, reversing former President Barack Obama's trend toward releasing criminals and seeking softer charges.
Jackson spent a significant portion of the piece relaying liberal talking points from parties including former President Obama, "civil liberties advocates," former Attorney General Eric Holder, and an ex-convict who was released from a life sentence by Obama.
