A federal judge can do a downward departure, giving her less jail time than the Guidelines.

I won't comment on whether or not she deserves the time. But I must say, her ex-husband is hardly the person to be pointing fingers at her regarding honesty--after he cheated on her with one of her assistants.

Has Andy Stewart been dishing dirt on her? I though he declined to comment.

Quite true, regarding the ex-husband. As I understand it, the downward departure has been taken into consideration in the estimates of time she will serve. I am not an expert on federal sentencing guidelines and am only reporting what I have heard two legal experts on Fox say.

If you have a source that explains the guidelines in more detail it would be grat if you could post it.
