While what she did was wrong and she should go to prison, I think that this sentence is ridiculous. There are murderers and rapists that get out of jail, why should someone who stole face a stiffer penalty? (Just my opinion)

This was not her sentence, it was what a reporter says she "faces." The reporter probably got that number by taking every crime she is charged with and adding up the maximum sentence for each. Federal sentencing guidelines don't actually work that way. Realistically, she will probably get 20-25 years.

Oh. That’s what I get for not reading the whole article.
