Former Trump staffer gets 30 days in jail after being convicted on 10 counts of election fraud

Failed Michigan State House candidate Brandon Michael Hallwho was a prominent volunteer with the Donald Trump campaignwas sentenced to 30 days in country jail Tuesday for forging signatures on petition forms in 2012, the Detroit News reports.
Ottawa Circuit Judge Ed Post sentenced Hall, who was found guilty on ten counts of election fraud on November 30, 2016, to an additional 18 months probation, 60 hours of community service and $3,105 in legal costs. He was convicted of forging other peoples signature in support of 2012 judicial candidate Christ Houtaling.
The case eventually made its way to the Michigan Supreme Court in June 2016. Halls defense argued his crimes should be tried as misdemeanors instead of felonies. The state Supreme Court overturned a lower courts ruling in favor of Hall, noting the extent of his deception.
Hall attempted to disguise his handwriting by using different colored pens and writing with his right and left hands, the Supreme Court ruled. Defendant continued to sign false nominator signatures the next day while (Houtaling) drove defendant to Lansing.

They are getting ready to hound Hillary again for doing her job.
