The fascist bastard should have been ordered shot. However, a hard 12 is good. Will wipe the smirk off his Demofascist face.

As Dan Akroyd once said, “He’s a nasty piece of work”.

Typical Democrat authoritarian.

Hope he likes his Trump & Rump-loving cellmate Clem.

I thought he was a republican, till I read the article and there was no mention of political affiliation.

So, I guess it’s just a NY Value thing.

Texas has it’s fair share of corrupt politicians (excluding Sen. Cruz).

Will he actually serve a day?

Absolutely. He'll serve a minimum of 3,723 of them. Federal time is no joke.

At 72, 12 years, he will die in jail...unless he makes a deal to give them a bigger fish.

He doesn’t want to make a deal, wait until one of this new playmates beats the bejesus out of him and someone tells his family it will continue until they pay a “small fee” to assure his safety.

Several names come to mind; Cuomo, Schumer, Nadler...

He’s 72 years old, so this might as well be a life sentence even if he only serves half of it.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer ‘Rat. Even out here on the west coast we know he’s a scumbag. When they disclose where he’s going to reside, I think I’ll send him an assortment of lipstick and eye make-up. He’ll enjoy his stay more if he feels “pretty”.

I’m disgusted that supporters argue the “public service” should be taken into account for a lighter sentence; the “public service” is to enrich themselves, not help people!
