Process Crimes

Roger Stone argues the FBI didn't need to be so tough on him because he's merely charged with "nonviolent process crimes."

This is why “process crimes” — like lying to the FBI — are crucial to our justice system, and not “made up” crimes as some suggest. Incentivizing people to provide investigators with truthful information ensures that cases proceed apace and evidence is uncovered without delay. https://t.co/YeZvCh1F9f

A note on so-called “process crimes.” Imagine if people could lie to investigators, tamper with witnesses, and obstruct justice without penalty. The justice system would grind to a halt. Process crimes are still crimes. Shame on those who try to minimize their significance.

BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL! This is the new theme, for two years until the Wall is finished (under construction now), of the Republican Party. Use it and pray!

Application: The Bellman’s Rule

#! /usr/bin/haskell
import Data.List
statementList :: [String]
statementList =
  ["BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"1+1=2"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ,"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!"
  ]
atLeastThrice :: [String] -> [String]
atLeastThrice sL =
  [head grp | grp <-
    group $ sort sL, length grp >= 3]

Result (if loaded and executed in GHCi):

*Main> atLeastThrice statementList
["BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!","I am a stable genius!"]

Interpretation: “BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!” and “I am a stable genius!” are true, because both assertions appeared at least three times. Actually, “BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!” is double-plus-true, because all letters have been capitalized and because the assertion ends with an exclamation mark.

Undocumented Immigrants Reduce Crime in the US

Perhaps you should open the borders for both legal and illegal immigrants? The have lower crime rate than native born americans. So you should focus on fighting crime inside us borders. Use $5.7B on that and you will see results.
