US Probation Office Recommends Ten Years In Prison For VA Republican Ex-Governor Bob McDonnell

10 YEARS IN JAIL!?!?!????

10 YEARS!?!?!????
The U.S. probation office recommends that former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell spend at least ten years in prison for the eleven counts of corruption he was found guilty of committing. The probation office calculated a recommended sentence of between ten and thirteen years in prison for the disgraced public official. U.S. District Judge James R. Spencer is not required to issue a sentence within the guidelines. He can exercise discretion to decrease or increase the penalty. However, legal analysts have pointed out that Spencer has typically given sentences that fall within the guidelines suggested by the U.S. probation office.
About a year ago, McDonnell turned down an offer to take a plea agreement that would have cost him no more than three years behind bars. He could have pled guilty to a single count of lying to a bank and escaped with probation or a much shorter prison term. However, McDonnell rejected that deal. Now having been convicted of eleven separate charges, he could spend over a decade in prison for his crimes.
The ex-Governor is scheduled to be sentenced on January 6th of next year. His wife will have her sentence handed down on February 20th.

Jesse Jackson Jr. looted almost a million and got 2 1/2 years, I think he is already out on the bricks again.
What hurts McD was the fact he took it to trial and has failed to accept responsibility or plead guilty. He must have been pretty confident he would walk.
Trials are expensive and the feds will always go harder on you for running up the bill and making prosecutors work overtime.
Seems excessive, but maybe the U.S. government will hold all politicos to the same harsh standard from now on. Doubt it though.

Not excessive at all. Most politicians should be in there with him. But most know how to not get caught. They know to keep their wives out of the loop.

McDonnell should be put in year for being a moron. Driving around in a Ferrari as the VA Gov?
Did he really think nobody in VA would get pissed off? Wife's trips to luxury clothing stores in New York city with suspected lovers?

If McD had been a liberal democrat, he'd have been elected to the Senate rather than going to prison for the same thing. Ask me how I know!

McAuliffe can't pardon McDonnell. McDonnell was convicted of Federal charges.

How do you consider it excessive, sir?
Elected politicians are to be held at a much higher standard for criminal acts than the public. If they are found guilty (which they rarely ever are), than they deserve a much harsher penalty than an ordinary citizen, seeing that the public put trust into their leadership and he failed us.

Exactly true that most politicians deserve to be behind bars for a long, long time.

We elect and trust our politicians to be representatives of us as a whole. NOT to do shifty shit and party.
