Mr. Attorney General, there's no blinking at the fact that for the first time in American history, we do have a presidential administration that's working to put its opponent in jail.
Not because of a lack of resources, but because the laws that have been adopted in the 1970s make it cost prohibitive.
Federal land managers have kept our forests in decrepit condition under these laws and they lose money.
