I'm generally on the hang'em high side of the arm wrestle, (for the bad
guys, that is), but this commutation is so overly frought with "politics"
that it's almost laughable...Dubya's "Justice Dept" is taking the rigorous
position of enforcing/increasing Fed sentencing terms, yet Junior and
his band of genius advisors feel that while the jury's decision was ok,
the sentence was too harsh.
Lil'Scoot was caught up in cover his master's fanny, (the Prince of Darkness),
among other labyrinth efforts and he lied under oath.
Whether that calls for that sentence, whether there was any intelligence "leak",
etc., is sort of beside the point.
I suspect if it was JoeCraptheCitizen who is looking at that sentence, he
might be hard pressed to get his time commuted by the gang that can't
shoot straight, much less talk straight.
Back at the ranch, it is politics and ol'boy network, but that's just one
of the aspects of why I find our current "system" so out of touch and
self serving. I wouldn't spit on any of the politicos, if they were on
fire in my driveway...
