She’s old, white and thinks she did nothing wrong. Also tries to whisper some Hydra shit to a few people thinking they will call Trump HQ and save her or something.

While it’s great news that someone’s finally going to prison I can’t help but feel that 9 years out of the 20 that the prosecution were seeking is still a slap on the wrist. At 68 this may still prove to be a life sentence but I’d feel a lot better if she had received the max and removed all doubt. If anyone deserves it, it’s this woman, the judge even recognized she has no remorse for her crimes and would do it again if she had the chance.

These weak sentences are only going to embolden the republicans organizing the next attempt to steal the elections. And that one is mere weeks away.

If she actually serves 9 years, that’s a massive sentence. If she lives to 77 and gets out, what in the heck will she do with the rest of her life? Getting out of prison after any long sentence is difficult, but I can’t even imagine how one would try to rebuild their life at that age after that many years behind bars.
