5 Year Sentence Recommended For Former Baltimore Mayor
[HOTAIR] Back in November, we learned that disgraced former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh had avoided a messy trial by pleading guilty to multiple counts of corruption and tax evasion. This all stemmed from her self-dealing scheme to "sell" hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of her self-published "Healthy Holly" children’s books to people and businesses who had dealings with the University of Maryland Medical System, where Pugh sat as a board member.

At the time, I wondered what sort of deal she had cut with the prosecutors in exchange for the guilty plea. Whatever other information she provided to the state might not have turned out to be all that valuable because prosecutors aren’t letting her off with a slap on the wrist. They’re looking for nearly five years behind bars in addition to some hefty fines.

#3 Lex - you are too kind. An elected public servant pleading guilty to corruption and tax evasion should be sentenced to ten times Stone's sentence for - whatever it was he did. Anybody remember what got him 7-9 years? Fibbing?

#4 Bobby, IIRC, Stone was charged with lying to the FBI, the exact same thing that McCabe was NOT prosecuted for.
