    I was going to say I couldn’t believe that he got 14 years. And when I scrolled I sort of laughed when I got here…

    Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for Michel, whom they said “betrayed his country for money” and “lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes.”

    “His sentence should reflect the breadth and depth of his crimes, his indifference to the risks to his country, and the magnitude of his greed,” they wrote.

    I don’t mean to sound like a lib but that’s hilarious. If a guy did that for Trump - not only would charges never happen - Trump would praise the guy for his “patriotism”. Trump might rename a federal building after the guy too.
