Mukasey: ‘Not every violation of the law is a crime’.

"Mukasey: ‘Not every violation of the law is a crime’"

Attorney General Michael Mukasey said yesterday that no charges would be filed against Justice Department officials who discriminated against job applicants for career positions for political reasons. “Not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime,” Mukasey explained yesterday in remarks to the American Bar Association in New York. “In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws.” What is your opinion to this?

I agree with Attorney General Mukasey.
I do not agree with Attorney General Mukasey.

People... the law is to guide not decide. Thats what judges are for. All laws should not be enforced all the time. There has to be a flexibility to it or we become a country like Iran that hangs children for theft.

Great bet Gab! Of course this doesn't surprise me they probably intentionally make laws so that officials can find a loophole if ever caught. Sickening. God I want to move to Canada.

Really good question, what he said is open to different interpretations, especially depending on your own experiences.
Btw, the link you left for the article isn't working.
This is nothing new - celebs, high ranking officials and those with money always beat the rap
