Has there ever been a conviction of a D in DC?
Clinesmith was and her is what the judge had to say at sentencing:
While the government argued for prison time, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said that the 38-year-old attorney had already suffered greatly since he was charged and pleaded guilty.
Boasberg said the offense represented the “only stain on the defendant’s character that I have been able to discern,” adding that the case had thrust Clinesmith into “the eye of media hurricane.”
Page, who also testified Friday, said he had suffered greatly, as well, from unwarranted law enforcement and media scrutiny, though he told Boasberg that he had “no desire to see (Clinesmith) suffer.”
So, you’re a Democrat. You commit Perjury. Admit to it. 1year of Probation and you get to keep being a lawyer.
