In tribal societies, the chief(ess) is supposed to get paid just for being the chief. All of this law stuff is a racist white construct. :)

This is the federal system so Horse Face has three years to do. There is no parole in the federal system The best she can do is stay clean and out of trouble and get her “possible” 10% reduction in sentence. THAT she probably is almost guaranteed so maybe she does 32 months and 2 weeks. Commutation? Not going to happen. Horse Face would be asking Trump for that.

“disgraced former mayor of Baltimore”

Pretty much defines most if not all former mayors from baltimore.

Maryland’s largest city... has struggled with grinding poverty, political mismanagement, record crime rates and police abuses that led to massive riots.

"for arranging fraudulent sales of her self-published children’s books to nonprofits and foundations to promote her political career"

Taking a page from the Hillary playbook.

Except giving books to charities in Baltimore is like sending bikinis to charities in Alaska.

Agree. Abuse of the public trust deserves double punishment.

It’s why a couple dozen high criminals from Obama on down deserve 20+ years.

If they convict any more Democrat politicians in Baltimore, they can hold their City Council meetings in the nearby prison. A couple of ex Mayors, city council members, police, and local politicians would make more than a quorum.

He spoke too soon.
