Fact Checker: Josh Hawley’s misleading attack on Judge Jackson’s sentencing of child-porn offenders

So Jackson would not necessarily be out of line with other judges. “Less than 30% of all non-production cases get a Guidelines sentence because just about [every] federal judge realizes these Guidelines are too severe,”Moreover, Hawley is not including what U.S. probation officers had recommended in these cases. In a pre-sentence report, a probation officer recommends sentencing options informed by the federal sentencing guidelines.

Here is an examination of each of Hawley’s claims about particular cases, with responses from a White House official.“In United States v. Savage, the sex offender was convicted of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and also admitted to transporting child porn. The Guidelines recommended 46-57 months. Judge Jackson gave him 37.”These were not the guidelines for the defendant.

“In United States v. Downs, the perp posted multiple images to an anonymous instant messaging app, including an image of a child under the age of 5. The Guidelines recommended 70-87 months. Judge Jackson gave him the lowest sentence allowed by law, 60 months.”Cases in which Jackson was below the probation recommendation“In the case of United States v. Hawkins, the sex offender had multiple images of child porn. He was over 18. The Sentencing Guidelines called for a sentence of up to 10 years.

In other words, only in two of the seven cases cited by Hawley did Jackson render a sentence that was below the probation office’s recommendation. Moreover, as noted in the quote at the top of the fact check, Jackson later refused to grant Sears compassionate relief for medical reasons. “Sears also admitted to doing

SageIsis Let's not forget, Hawley is a seditionist and is soft on sex offenders

thewebbix When Trump became president the republican party took off their hoods and sheets. That was really apparent this past week they demonstrated the racism that exists in the party First is was President Obama now it's Ketanji Brown Jackson so sad

'Republican Lie About...' There. I fixed the headline.

GOPLiesAboutEverything

We heard what she said. Her record shows she’s light on child crimes and doesn’t know what a woman is. Stop normalizing child crimes.

imagine being the person trying to justify and defend her on her child pornography sentencing record and theory, pretty disturbing

Misleading He lied

What a Warped Answer. Pedophiles may not truly be Pedophiles but just looking for 'liked minded' people. Are you kidding me! You can be a 'little bit of a Pervert' or a 'little bit of a murderer' Save our Children! VOTE NO!!

In keeping with the history of Republicans shameless habit of attacking anyone that could pose a real threat to their long planned campaign to push conservatism-they feel entitled to spread dirt/lies particularly when strong intelligent women are involved.

You mean Hawley lied.

Fact check her answering the question 'are there more than two human genders'

So your own writing says 'As she put it'. But you twist it to say 'as Josh Hawley put it.' And this is because you have created a community of liars. Otherwise known as 'the swamp'. And you would fill the high court with liars.

Republicans Lied During Nomination, On the Record!

We know who they are -

You mean like Kavanugh?

One is a medicro, melanin deficient, male with low emotional intelligence. One is a highly qualified, melanin rich woman with high emotional intelligence & a moral compass that brings Kiddush HaShem. Which candidate is GOP RJC? Which candidate is DNC USJewishDems? ConfirmKBJ

Every CONservative accusation is a confession.

Knowing him… I do not believe it

He is such a weenie. Ugh.

Racism, alive and well in the gop.

Anyone who abused children in gruesome ways will be begging to being locked up in casket for eternity. Begging… and still god won’t listen.

She is a radical left wing activist and has no business being on the SC.

The lies like it breathes

Funny I would have never imagined the Amazon Post would be supporting Jackson's appointment so fervently. LOL LOL LOL

WAPO defending pedophiles. Sick.

Republicans are the queens of marketing and propaganda.

HawleyMO is favoring overthrowing the government. He has only one thing on his mind. How do I do it…

What’s misleading

Anyone else wonder about this guy’s obsessions?

Yet again we see White people helping Black selfish white hating back people. I don't hate the Supreme Court nominee. I see she's black and she has her negative feelings towards the white culture and white history. The only reason she's playing nice is the Supreme Court job.

he needs a ‘reason’ to vote no for her confirmation as ‘I can’t possibly ever vote for a black woman for the Supreme Court’ sounds racist

That’s how gop operates lies and disinformation

Can we all agree as a nation that pretty much anything Hawley says is misleading

I love the way some people only use what make a person look bad shame on hawley

But let's let hunter off the hook. Like father like son.

The facts speak for themselves, the Was Post is in the business of fact checking unless the subject is democrat.
