...lying to FBI agents...

From what I hear, that should be 8 to 10 years.

Baltimore Mayor Pugh used boutique co-owned with city comptroller to hide illegal donations, prosecutors say

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh didn’t only use Healthy Holly LLC as a conduit for illegal contributions to her 2016 mayoral campaign, according to a sentencing memorandum prosecutors filed Thursday in federal court in Baltimore.

She also arranged for money to flow through another side business, 2 Chic Boutique, a Pigtown consignment shop she co-owned with longtime City Comptroller Joan Pratt and two other women with ties to city government.

She looks like Maxine Waters. But even bitchier.

The extra day is nice artistic touch.

“We submit that, under the unique circumstances of this case, Ms. Pugh’s immediate acceptance of responsibility, her age and (redacted) and her entire life’s dedication to public service, the Court should impose a sentence of incarceration for one year and one day.”

...

In her case, what does “public service” mean?

“Ms. Pugh has become a tragic figure..”
No reason to feel sorry for her. It was self imposed.

FALL FROM GRACE??? LOL!!! She never had any grace! She's been cheating and lying for a LONG time!

PUBLIC SERVICE, my ass.

Here we go again. Another leftist, criminal government official who used government to enrich themselves, will be let go with nary a slap on the wrist. The two-tiered legal system is alive and well.

They should throw the book at her.

Sorry Horse Face but five years sounds about right. You’ll have plenty of time to work on your next children’s book and no longer have to hide from the FBI.

A tragic figure? Maybe for the people of Baltimore. But then again they elected her. Criminal not tragic.

[Rummyfan]

Throw the book at her!

FYI, Sheila Dixon who left office under a cloud of dozens of indictments some time ago.... is running for mayor again.
Oh Baltimore.....

From the article:

Her brother, Ardell Crump, wrote in a letter filed with the memo that Pugh “has not eaten or slept properly since these tribulations have unfolded,” and the impact is “hindering her emotional and physical well-being.”

Cry me a river CRIMINAL, a description you'll carry forever.

Fellow FReepers, keep close watch on the news on Feb 27, the day she'll be sentenced.

I don’t know HOW Defense attorney’s can even look at themselves in the mirror each day.

This group is particularly obnoxious. Their description of their client is straight out of Hell.
