Guess I'll ping one more. I'm conflicted here. I'm aware that Rubashkin was a generous man in his personal life. There's no question in my mind that the sentence was excessive. For what reasons, I don't know. The judge's conduct is of great concern, but the Supreme Court didn't agree. So a judge can work with police/prosecutors to plan a prosecution, then sit as judge on said prosecution without disclosure. Stalin would like that. However he committed a crime, which he was convicted of. Thanks to President Trump's courage he's free. But he is a felon, and I find public celebrations in this circumstance distasteful.

I wasn’t breaking out the party hats and noisemakers. Glad he’s free. Now let him just go somewhere and run his factory and shut up.
