Former Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) was sentenced on Tuesday to 11 months in prison and three years of parole for corruption charges, which resulted from his use of campaign funds for personal expenses, including several extramarital affairs.

Hunka Dunter.
Now he has time to patch things up with his wife.
Couldnât happen to a nicer wife-blamerâŚ
âDuncan Hunter came to embody the very notion that politicians thought they were above the law.â
Is there any doubt that this investigation would never have begun under Bill Barrâs DOJ?
Finally, good news for a change.
The presumed bad news is that Trump will quietly pardon him while everyone else is preoccupied. So he wonât get a chance to be Bubbaâs prison bitch.
He might have gotten away with it if he had just kept his pants zipped.
âThis is the new Department of Justice. This is the Democratsâ arm of law enforcement,â he said after being charged. âItâs happening to Trump and itâs happening to me.â
He also essentially blamed his wife Margaret for the violations at first, saying âshe handled my finances throughout my entire military career and that continued on when I got to Congress
'Canât a man cheat on his wife and blackmail his weeping mistress with donations without it turning into a big deal? Whatâs this country coming to?"
Howâs the health care at the penitentiary heâs going to?
During times like these, we Minnesotans turn to our sage (Bob D.) for guidance:
From âBlind Willie McTellâ
âPower and greed and corruptible seed seem to be all that there isâŚâ
Lovely man. I hope he and Issa some day get to spend quality behind bars and with Barr. Another sanctimonious creep who probably was forced to cheat on his wife by the Democrats.
Does anyone know if he was actually remanded today? Or like Roger Stone, does he get to postpone doing time to see if the most corrupt President in our Republicâs history pardons him before reporting to do his slap on the wrist time?
Sentence starts May 29 (wonder if heâll try to delay it due to coronavirus?): https://timesofsandiego.com/politics/2020/03/17/ex-congressman-duncan-hunter-gets-11-months-in-prison-for-spending-crimes/
Hunter got jailed because his grift was relatively small and he was working for himself. Had he gone for 20x more, he would have been swimming above the nets. If you get big bucks from the people who have massive bucks, you get some protection (and they own you).
Itâs tough when the Tough-on-Crime start doing time (though itâs never enough).
I look forward to reading about his beatings in the slammer.
Because the Tough-on-Crime politicians see those as part of the justice they want Others to get.
True that. Time to review how Mitch McConnell got rich.
Hunter must surrender by May 29, Whelan said, despite a prosecution request that he be remanded to prison immediately.
Hunterâs legal team had recommended 11 months home confinement and 1,000 hours of community service. His father â the former Congressman Duncan Lee Hunter â and son, Duncan Lee Hunter II, made written appeals for leniency.
And Duncan Lee Hunter, former congressman and father of this thief grifter had the chutzpah to continue to claim in his pleas for leniency for his son that this case was entirely a political hit job.
The Republicans have gone from stereotypical Reagan Clones to guilty elected officials claiming all the way to prison that they wuz done wrong.
He should be sanctioned with a lifetime ban on holding public office for his violation of public trust.
If he was African American, he would have got 5 years hard labor and no chance of a pardon.
