2. Maybe after the mandatory minimum

I suspect that having put the state through an unnecessary jury trial, he's going to be facing a somewhat longer sentence. Spending it in the DC luckup will make it harder time than prison would be.

Mark Meadowns had better pay close attention, along with the lower profile scofflaws.

4. Is parole appropriate/possible for a misdemeanor?

Or would it be probation? I would think if it were probation it would be in addition to the time served .. I'd love to see him get a year or two of probation tacked on. Meeting the requirements will be a real ignominy to someone like him (i.e. arrogant) - and if one violates probation one can get amuch stiffer sentence than the lengthof the probation ...

6. I think you're correct. But probation is not necessarily early release.

On a state rap, one can get probation as part of the initial sentencem thogh (as in x month in prison plus y years probation) and it was such a delicious thought I couldn't resist wishing.
