The extremity of the sentence “will chill future whistleblowers from revealing corruption and wrongdoing,” the Freedom of the Press Foundation (1/30/24) said. Slate writer Alex Sammon (Twitter, 1/29/24) said, “This guy is a hero who showed us how the super-rich steal from the American public.” Nevertheless, he added, “the judge gave him a max sentence, claiming it was ‘a moral imperative’ to punish him as harshly as possible.”
(Emphasis original.)
“He showed off how the sausage was made to the peasants, so we had to have him enslaved for the maximum amount of time possible to dissuade the next one who tries it.” – Typical occupier-cracker judge’s reaction. I hope it’s a whole block piling their way into that cac mf’s house when the midnight raid for him comes.
