I don’t know. Five years prison is probably adequate. It just needs to be a real possibility. Send a few officials of varying levels of seniority to prison with 5 year sentences and I think the situation would clear itself up lightning fast.

Five max. Having faced a potential five my self and having gotten probation that's not to weird if you plea.
Unfortunatly we don't have any sentencing guidelines which would tell us the 20th percentile and 80th percentile because nobody has gotten in trouble for it.
Keep in mind a process crime like purjury has a max of 10 years per charge. This is a process crime but by the government so it should have a higher standard.

I don't think so; not with golden parachutes and the shadow gov't intact. They'll go in, go maximum-over-Jew while in office, and afterwards, take their five year vacation— knowing full-well that they have their payout and life of freedom, awaiting them on the other side of their
paid-for resortminimum-security prison sentence.[–] 11826124? ago
Please tell me the golden parachute a federal employee will get when sent to prison for violating the law. I'd like to hear it.
