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.

I think that's a reasonable bet - someplace between 6-18 months of actual prison time.

OTOH, this was committed during a Presidential election. The judge might want to send a message. Plus, federal probation is NOT a walk in the park.

I agree with the one year in prision but I don’t see how he will get only 5 years supervised when 2 of the charges mandate 5 and 3 years supervied release?That comes to 8 years supervised and IMHO if they do retrail for identy theft he is most likely to be found guilty because of the other two prior convictions. IMHO he will be be sentaenced to 5-15 years and let out after 12 months to 18 months. If found guilty of the other charge he is liable to do 3 years before being released.
