What ever happened to teaching your kids to accept responsibility for their actions?
She did that, really. Upon questioning by investigators, she admitted to everything she did. She then accepted a plea agreement and reported to prison.
I don’t agree with her actions, but she certainly did accept responsibility for them. Now she’s doing time for those actions.
However, her mother does have a point that this seems to be a singular case where someone caught doing this was actually sent to prison at all, let alone for any significant time. I wish the DOJ would be more consistent. There was nothing particularly unusual or egregious about this case to make you think it merits a harsher response than what is commonly seen. I’m not a fan of leaks and I wish they’d go after leakers more in general to discourage it, but this case seems like an odd one to suddenly decide severe enforcement is important. There are plenty of other examples far more deserving of this kind of treatment.
