Thanks, John. HRC actually expressed some reluctance about the term
"non-violent."   If you launder drug money, isn't that more serious than if
you knock someone down and steal their wallet?  She thought better to say
minor or low-level. Michael Waldman has made the same point.

On treatment, that's actually something she's been quite fixated on of late
because she heard a lot of stories in Iowa and NH about heroin and meth and
prescription drug abuse. So if we had something smart to say on that, I'm
sure she'd welcome it.
