Since he’s a metal guy, the good news is…once they toss him in the clink, he’ll NEVER find the key.

So now he’s going to get kicked out of the Oaf Keepers and the metal band.

Reaching a plea deal is not metal.

Wait till you see the Microsoft Word Eula requiring absolute compliance to terms they haven’t even thought of yet. In fact, your children and your children’s children will be bound to those terms. In violation of those terms, all versions of Word Processors you use, past and present will operate as if it is MS Word for Windows 1.0. And no patches.

He got a Humbucker of a deal on this one.

I wonder if he is a repeat A-Fender?

If he really is an Oath Keeper for Life, i’d just as soon he just get the life part. This country does not need that type of individual in our midst. He can cover Ted Nugent in the slammer . That’s what he deserves.

It worked for Flynn, but this guy probably doesn’t have the right connections.

Thought I would stick this Josh essay (bracketed excerpt) in here (regarding the “new” interest in Kilimnik)

["But this is the first time the US government has connected the pieces so clearly and categorically.

Why now?

The immediate occasion is a new raft of sanctions tied to on-going efforts to interfere in US domestic elections – not only in 2016 but in 2020 too. But why couldn’t this fact be asserted earlier and why is it being asserted now? Placing sanctions on Kilimnik didn’t require this specific claim.

The most likely reason is the one staring us in the face. Virtually the entire investigation into Russian election interference in the 2016 campaign took place while Donald Trump was President and while all domestic law enforcement and intelligence agencies reported to him. A lot came out under those circumstances. But it strains credulity to think that Trump being President wouldn’t place some limits on revealing information that directly incriminated him or at least his campaign. There was clearly an on-going balancing act between internal pressures to react to what the intelligence said and to be responsive to the President’s demands. It seems very likely that there’s a lot about the 2016 campaign that US intelligence agencies have known all along but were not able to state clearly as long as Donald Trump was President."]

Trump is an expert in pretending that pending charges do not exist. The best I have ever witnessed.

Read at CNN:

“Prosecutors and Schaffer’s attorneys agreed to recommend that he get between 3.5 and 4.5 years in prison, based on how fruitful his cooperation is with the government. The sentencing decision will ultimately be made by federal Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the case.”

So if the above is accurate, are they saying that if he cooperates extremely well that he’s looking at a minimum of 3.5 years? Or is the 3.5-4.5 year stretch a maximum sentence and he could approach very little time with highly productive full cooperation that lands many fishes for the Feds?

Will he have to turn in his gun and badge hat?

Maybe he could be forced to listen to Nickelback all day every day.
That would be even worse.

Only because Trump was president at the time. Otherwise, things would’ve gone very badly for him too.

That’s my read. 3.5 is the minimum sentence they would ask for if he meets the terms of the agreement and 4.5 is the maximum they would request. He could still get more or less depending on what the judge decides though.
