1. K&R...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Well, there's a little good news today.

[QED]

5. That was my reaction.

We all need good news.

[Leghorn21]

3. Well,

GOOD

[Zorro]

4. Too bad it wasn't 11 years

[volstork]

6. Womp womp

n/t

[Polly Hennessey]

7. Does he also pay a fine?

He misused 200k.

[Scarsdale]

23. Amen!

People who stole much less have received much longer sentences. He will get lots of time off for good behavior too, no doubt.

[NotHardly]

9. The rich & well connected go to prison for months. You/I would be punished in prison for decades

nice life for the rich and powerful... no wonder they want to keep it for themselves.

[Fritz Walter]

10. Don't drop the soap, Ducan!

Depending on your cellmates, that 11 months could seem like an eternity.

11. Trump Pardon coming

[Fritz Walter]

25. Possibly.

He did use the phrase “Witch Hunt,” but — mysteriously — pleaded guilty anyway.
And I think Cantaloupe Caligula has more than enough on his plate right now...

Even so, his career in politics is over and done with. Exit, stage extreme-right. No curtain-call, and no bowing, especially in the shower at the Cross-bar Hotel. However long he stays there.

[Sneederbunk]

26. Will Trump allow a fellow grifter to go unpardoned?

[lagomorph777]

12. He's not very scary. His prison name will be Duncan Hunted. Or Duck'n'Cover.

[Under The Radar]

13. The witch hunt finally caught a witch

[usaf-vet]

14. Hopefully he will pave the way for some of his thieving breathen.

Hopefully, he will pave the way for some of his thieving brethren. Starting with the cult leader.

[relayerbob]

15. Good, one down, plenty more to go

[ToxMarz]

16. So we don't have to rely on him self isolating

We'll do it for him

[Dennis Donovan]

17. 11 months in quarantine

This is good news on an otherwise gloomy-ass day!

[smirkymonkey]

18. Finally, at least some justice for this dirtball!

It's not long enough, but it's better than nothing. I hope he suffers in there.

[rurallib]

19. Shelter in place, Duncky!

I hope he doesn't get his vote back until he repays what he stole.

[ooky]

20. Hmmm, not seeing anything about him being taken away in handcuffs

yet.

[gratuitous]

21. A little more from the San Diego Union Tribune (which Hunter claimed was fake news)

The story is here.

Former Rep. Hunter sentenced to 11 months in prison

According to the indictment, the Hunters relied for years on campaign contributions to pay routine family expenses such as dental bills, home repairs and fast-food meals. They also used the donations to pay for exotic vacations, private-school tuition, video games and plane tickets for Margaret’s mother to travel to and from Poland.

The Hunters used more than $500 in campaign funds to fly the family’s pet rabbit, Eggburt, across the country with them, Margaret Hunter admitted in her plea agreement.

Many more rib-tickling details that you may have read about, but forgotten, including Hunter's attempt to portray his extramarital dalliances with lobbyists and staffers as "legislative acts" and therefore immune from prosecution.

22. The Humane Society gave him an F rating

4yrs in a row for voting against any and all animal rights bills. Typical R, more than likey, equals a dumb, selfish, cruel human being.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

29. Why are people like this economically successful?

He was even too dumb to hide it.

And didn’t he get re-elected after he was already indicted?

[Duppers]

30. Yep, hubby said he did.

I don't live in CA but just keep mental notes on people voting against animal rights laws because I love critters so much and give to many animal groups.

[calimary]

24. He'll probably get a pardon.

Typical of trump and anyone around him. Just more ill-gotten gain. These things take many forms, dontchaknow.

[badhair77]

27. I want to see him in an orange jumpsuit.

[More_Cowbell]

28. We'll see if he really ends up there

He's supposed to report on May 29.

[Hulk]

31. I hope the crook has to pay back every penny

Seems to me that would only be fair. I believe that applies to individuals who caused property damage in other crimes.

[edbermac]

32. Hillary feels his pain.

[Upthevibe]

33. Frickin' A!

Good. P.O.S.

[Marcuse]

34. I thought he was working on a deal to let his wife take the fall.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. This is a great time for him to be confined in a vulnerable population.

I approve.

[cwydro]

36. I dont like the guy.

But come on now.

[Marcuse]

37. I thought he was working on a deal to let his wife take the fall.

[TruckFump]

38. Locked him up!!!!!!!!

Way to go, Judge!!!!
