Akey witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia-Trump campaign collusion probe, on Friday received a 10-year prison sentence on child sex charges.
The witness, George Nader, who also acted as an adviser for President Trump's White House transition team following the 2016 election, was handed the sentence by Judge Leonie Brinkema at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Nader, who has already served a year in prison, admitted to bringing a 14-year-old boy from the Czech Republic to the United States in 2000 for sex trafficking. As part of the sentence, he is also ordered to pay that victim $150,000.
His lawyers, who lobbied for the 10-year term rather than a longer stay in prison, expressed "a real fear that [Nader] will not outlive the sentence" due to health problems as well as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Nader in court said he was "dearly, deeply sorry" for the crimes.

Going to be that guy... when is it going to be the death sentence instead of some random duration of time that costs the tax payer more money instead of the death penalty?
We all know this wasn't a one and done.

For now I'm happy with an undetermined or short sentence for the sake of coaxing more names out of them. Hard to know what the utilitarian cost is, I don't know the output of prison labour force. Either way I usually only believe in killing when the law is against you, but I'm hopeful for fair convictions in the coming years. I don't know how to ethically, legally punish them, so I won't focus on that; just hunt them for now.
Let them stack up, until we get each one. Witness their fall, their names disclosed, to live through the public eyes. Then get a head count for how many we caught, accumulate their testimonies. Then do what you want with them.
This is an amazing news piece, far out.
