Drug Sentencing Memo (crack vs. powder)
A slim briefing memo composed of a short stack of typed, letter‑sized pages—single‑stapled—headed with policy language on drug sentencing disparities (crack vs. powder). Quick penciled annotations and timing cues crowd the margins. C.J. references the packet on live television, its lines shaping her public phrasing while staff watch and react.
