He could have been sentenced to 5 years house arrest at Maureen’s.

I wish it was more - but it will give him plenty of time to enjoy the lifestyle that his greed ultimately earned him.

Wow. Two whole years at Club Fed.
Will he also be sentenced to be whipped with a wet noodle?

Dollars to doughnuts that Maureen divorces him while he’s in the slammer.
She clearly has no loyalty to anyone but herself, and she’s not the kind who can be married to an ex-con.

After two years he will be worshiped like Ollie North on Fox.
BTW, it is notable how many Democrats testified in his defense today or in writing. Kaine, Wilder, Warner, etc. I have little doubt that if the tables were turned that not a single Teabagger would testify for a Democrat.

I’d be surprised if he spends more than 6 months behind bars.

Goes to show that, for all the “bickering” that we see in the news, it mostly is one big happy family at the high levels of politics. Democratic politicians serve many of the same masters as Republican ones, in large part because they need money to run for election and re-election and there are only so many sources of the quantity of money they need.

Another sorry example of how white collar crime among the influential gets a light sentence. $121000 in bribes may be chump change to the rich but it is a lot of money to the rest of us.
