There will be no jail time for this punk.
Just two? What the hell’s wrong with those people. Most Tennesseans know better.
He should have been charged with conspiracy and Rico
Retry the little sh*t on the other charges an when convicted give him the max on all counts.
Open season has been declared. The dirty-tricks squads will employ young college students because, as this case has shown, you can’t get a conviction on any of the major counts. I also predict that only minor probation will get handed out for the counts on which you can gain a conviction.
Politicians beware.
Sarah Palin: FROM HER FACEBOOK PAGE
The Hacker Case Verdict
Share.. Today at 2:27pm
My family and I are thankful that the jury thoroughly and carefully weighed the evidence and issued a just verdict. Besides the obvious invasion of privacy and security concerns surrounding this issue, many of us are concerned about the integrity of our country’s political elections. America’s elections depend upon fair competition. Violating the law, or simply invading someone’s privacy for political gain, has long been repugnant to Americans’ sense of fair play. As Watergate taught us, we rightfully reject illegally breaking into candidates’ private communications for political intrigue in an attempt to derail an election.
I want to thank the public servants who worked so hard on this case, particularly the jurors who gave up precious time from their jobs and families to listen to the evidence and reach a decision.
My family and I appreciate the good people of Knoxville, Tennessee, who showed us true Southern hospitality. We can’t wait to visit again – but without having a subpoena in hand.

Jury could probably not figure out how to charge somebody for stealing Sarah Palin’s identity unless they locked Tina Fey away for 99 years....
I suspect young David may learn economics the hard way now in the state pen: two cartoons of cigarettes for him.
I think he will get a year at Club Fed and be on probation for 5 years. That is what is normally given for computer crimes. This is also a felony conviction, so now he has that hanging over his head.
Youthful hi-jinks. Let’s mooooove’on.
You are forgetting who the AG is. 
I think that under Federal sentencing rules a judge has limited (at best) flexibility when passing sentence.IOW,if a conviction in Federal court carries a max of 20 years I doubt that the judge can say "no time".A lawyer,of course,could set me straight if I'm wrong.
Felony obstruction means he won't be voting in most states for the rest of his life, nor will be be allowed to ever purchase or own a firearm. I think that fairly major.

Key word: “was”
We’ve spent enough money on this guy. Fine him, throw him in the slammer for a while, and let’s move on.
is that a photo of Eric Holder or an old Billy Dee Williams malt liquor ad?
