10 months ago: The US courts have been quite harsh with white collar criminals who have been convicted of crimes - Conrad Black, Bernie Madoff, the Enron execs, and the like. I would expect a similarly harsh approach to an elected official who abused his office.

I do feel for his family. At the end of the day, his children are going to have to bear a huge burden because of what their father did. that's not the way it's supposed to work.
