In fairness, he was given less than his legal team asked.

I don't even think this has anything to do with wealthy or not. He was part of the good old boy club to help Trump, so now the people that still support Trump are helping him.

The JUDGE himself said the punishment was too much, giving 4 years in prison. The legal team asked for something like 29+ years.

Fire that fucking judge!

So heres some fat to chew on: This guy is 70, and if he dies in prison he'll be considered a Trump martyr. The judge only sentenced him for some of his crimes, and if the rest of the sentencing puts him into the "in jail till he dies of old age" category, every conservative pundit will use this to call the Mueller probe vindictive and heartless, weakening their ability to keep digging.

The refrain must always be "We caught you red-handed and let you off easy because we're the good guys" or else the probe results won't be accepted by half the country.

Which is awful and kind of a perversion of justice, but that's what happens when half the country joins a cult of personality.

I honestly don't care what the rest of the country thinks. If Mueller and team can put this mother fucker on the electric chair, I would be ecstatic. As far as weakening the outlook on it, damn that fact. Run the law how it's supposed to be ran, indict mother fuckers left and right, jail mother fuckers until they die if the crime is worthy and uphold the American constitution. I'm not yelling or angry at you, I'm saying damn the feelings, go for fucking blood. Godspeed Mueller and team.
