Also consider the woman jurist was 100% bias AF. The judge should declare a mistrial.

A fraction of what the sentence should be.

[mrfrontranger]

9 years was stupid, , compared to other similiar sentences, it was political. he got in the game and shouldn't have. actions have consequences

[aclem]

Disgrace. He should have gotten at least the minimum recommended. 7 years since it was 7 to 9 years recommended. At 40 months he will serve a year and 1/2 and be out which is not enough time for his crimes. That is if Trump doesn't pardon him outright which would not surprise me in the least.

[j.j.]

If I a black person lies to Congress will I get 40 months or 20 years?

[cpt.siskothinksyouresoft.]

Probably do his time in a bed & breakfast. & Parole to Mara Lagos. All men are created equal. But some are obviously more equal than others.
