I find his sentence to fit the current status quo of our lovely criminal justice system. This individual was put in a position of power, trust, gainful employment, public service, leadership and Government. Yet his sentence, if compared to someone who is not, or was not, a elected official, is grossly light on average.
He will likely get out early with good behavior while incarcerated. More so, he will leave prison a fairly wealthy individual. Wealth that was mostly generated from his employment and previous investments. Investments that I am sure were just as corrupt as the ones he plead guilty to. He will literally never have to work again, gets to retire(resign) from his position in Government and will likely buy property in the hills away from much of the prying eyes of society.
Lastly, I find it nothing short of comical that he plead guilty to lying to the FBI. A institution known around the world for being deceptive, malicious, and most of all, willing to lie for its own gainful priorities. I don't think justice is represented well by this type of blatant unfairness. It should be equally illegal for the Government to lie to us, as it is for us to lie to them. But basic biology should allot us the fact that sheep still don't hunt wolves.
