14 days?

He won't even have time to learn the names of all his cellmates.

I thought Mueller was trying give him six months.

Two weeks for a process crime - which had nothing to do with Russia.

Yawn.

Start on a Tuesday so you’ll only miss two weeks of football. Saturday would be the worst start day — missing three full weeks! Don’t do it!

This is where it gets ridiculous.

We’re not talking about an actual crime that hurt the country or harmed people.

We’re talking about lying to the corrupt and politically weaponized FBI.

I in good conscience would have no problem lying to them.

How about Hillary colluding with Russians while trying to dig dirt on Trump, not finding any so paying them to produce the phony dossier?

What they need to do away with are Special Counsels. They are always politically motivated and bound and determined to get convictions...any conviction as long as they're at least tangentially connected to their target. The office of SC is an abomination.

Okay, I’d settle for the obvious four weekends, but haven’t come up with it yet.

So if you are asked by the FIB what time it is, and your watch is 4 seconds off, you are LYING and go to prison for a day?
