We have this AG, who supports these illegal and unethical seizures, because of who was voted president.

When you choose the POTUS, you also choose his choices for cabinet.

Obama had 8 years to end these 'illegal and unethical seizures', but he obviously didn't.  

That said Sessions sucks, and I agree these are illegal and unethical unless the person is convicted of a crime and the cash & property seized is directly related to the crime.

Quote:"Additionally, many states allow law enforcement officers to keep cash that they seize, creating what critics characterize as a profit motive. The practice is widespread: in 2014, federal law enforcement officers took more property from citizens than burglars did. State and local authorities seized untold millions more.
Since 2007, the Drug Enforcement Administration alone has taken more than $3 billion in cash from people not charged with any crime, according to the Justice Department's Inspector General."
