NEW: Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence former Rep. Christopher Collins to nearly 5 years in prison for his involvement in an insider trading scheme and for lying to the FBI.

He was the first sitting member of Congress to endorse then-candidate Trump in 2016.

The sentencing guidelines are for 46 to 57 months and prosecutors are asking for the top end of that range, citing his lies.

Longer, please...

1. Make Trump pardon him.

3. Manafort is still waiting for his pardon

he's been in jail since when?

Trusting Donny Dollhands was his mistake

4. Trump is guaranteed to go out the door without handcuffs, there's

nothing to stop him doing it on his last day in office. And indeed to play to the yokels, it makes sense.

2. Unlike in a basketball game, he was given points

he really didn't want. - Paraphrased from Chuck Rosenberg.

Is Daryl Issis' story over yet, or is he to be sentenced?

5. And Flynn is only getting 6 months? WTF?

6. I wondered that, too

5 years or so for a financial crime. Okay. So far so good.

But only 6 months for treason?! If he were really being used to bring down bigger fish, then where are those bigger fish? He has had more than enough time to testify. He should either give up names, dates, crimes, and whatever else he has or spend the rest of his life in prison.

7. Mueller offered Flynn a plea bargain deal.

But actual sentencing is up to the judge on January 26th.
