Man who threatened judge in Michael Flynn case gets 18 months in prison

And while his hero walks free, Frank Caporusso gets to sit in the jug and reflect upon his crimes. Hoping for a pardon, Frank? Too bad.

Link to the story here.

Man who threatened judge in Michael Flynn case gets 18 months in prison

Frank Caporusso, a Long Island man who left a threatening voicemail last year for the judge presiding over the Michael Flynn case, was sentenced Monday to 18 months in prison.

Caporusso was arrested last August and reached a deal with the government in April in which he pleaded guilty to one count of Influencing, Impeding, or Retaliating Against a Federal Official by Threat.

"Back out of this bulls**t before it's too late, or we'll start cutting down your staff. This is not a threat. This is a promise," Caporusso said on the voicemail.

The voicemail was played during Monday's sentencing proceedings.

Caporusso showed no emotion when it was played, but later said that he had been "shocked and embarrassed" when he first heard the recording of the message.


Well, at least he's embarrassed now.

Actually show up, attack the capitol and the members of the House and Senate while sitting, get 8 months. Something is clearly wrong, actions (participating in the attack on the Capitol) speak a lot louder than words (threatening a judge) yet the sentences seem to be reversed.

Let's hope whoever is next in line gets a more 'deserved' appraisal of their actions against America...
