DC is actually quite tough on reckless and drunk driving. I know people who got a first offense in DC that were much tougher on them than people who got a 2nd offense in VA. His lawyer told him not to even bother attending the DMV hearing in DC because the 1y suspension was a 99% certainty.

Too bad he can’t be charged with espionage or materially supporting terrorism.
In most countries if a policeman tipped off a terrorist group to so much as a free coffee refill at 7-Eleven, they’d be charged with a capital offense.

It could be worse. In NJ, the lien purchasers get to keep all the extra equity, its legalized theft from poor and elderly people to wealthy investors.

Seems light but maybe the evidence wasn’t strong enough for trial. Personally I’d prefer he gets 13 years in the electric chair but it’s an imperfect world.

Assuming it’s Federal time, 85% is the minimum so 132.6 months for perfect behavior

Possible criticism: The song is pretty martial for an anthem sung at international sporting events. Though it is pretty similar to the Polish and Ukrainian anthems in that way. A lot of anthems are based on 19th century nationalistic poems with similar themes.

Ha yeah, Maryland My Maryland is a protest song, which would be cool except it is protesting the Lincoln administration.

Sounds like he is just a felon with time on his hands filing pro se motions.
