The current administration is squishy-soft on white collar crime.

(The United States Department of Justice is mostly to handle white-collar crime. Most DOJ authority comes from the Federal power to regulate interstate commerce. Violent crime is primarily a state matter. Then came the ICE overexpansion.)

I disagree. They actively support it in a hard core way. Squishy soft imply not wanting it but being weak. They are not weak, they love it.

  • It sounds to me like you and parent poster are in agreement in all but wording.

    But okay. Let's rephrase: "The current administration is hard for white collar crime."
