Jeff Sessions actually said...

"Isn't it true that a Federal drug enforcement agent who is investigating a drug organization can issue administrative subpoenas without a court or a Grand Jury oversight?"

"Isn't it true that the national security letters really have more oversight and more requirements on them perhaps than the administrative subpoenas that other Federal agencies have been using for many..."

"I think we struck the right balance. I think there is a lot of controls and limits and reviews over this."

"We have muddled entirely the classical distinction between war and criminal prosecution."
