This, perhaps...And I hate to say it, but I have just become so cynical that I have to wonder in what nefarious ways this could lead to a big nothing burger. Debbie kept him on her staff for months after others cleared away from him; I can't help but to wonder if that just bought time to set up a ruse for him to seemingly be the "fall guy" whilst in the background he's being well taken care of. I mean even if he does time I am sure he and his family will be well-compensated. It's not like we haven't seen this sort of thing before. Take Hastert's light sentencing for example. And Larry King. And I am sure there are more. Forgive me, but I just don't think we should celebrate too vehemently.
My fear are soft sentences as well, just like Hastert's, those who are making the laws are the crooks, and they will take care of each other, put on the appearance they are doing something, then hand out light sentences, only the common people, the serfs will see hard time.

I hope Awan and his wife have a good security detail.
