A London-based lawyer was ordered to serve 30 days in prison after a federal judge Tuesday handed down the first sentence in special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Alex van der Zwaan, 33, a son-in-law of a prominent Russian-based banker, pleaded guilty Feb. 20 to lying to the FBI about his contacts in September and October of 2016 with a business associate of onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and with Manaforts deputy, former Trump aide Rick Gates. Prosecutors said van der Zwaan also destroyed emails the special counsel had requested.

Mueller and his Democrat duds cut a fat hog with this massive 30-day sentence ... !!
30 days! Gasp!! You can get that for littering.
How much did this cost the American taxpayer for 30 days in jail? Mueller is a clown.
You could do worse with a drunk driving charge.
In the meantime, terrorists and shooters pull off their kills....despite the FBI being warned.
There's a damn pattern of incompetence within the FBI.
The ‘take-away’ from this whole circus is this:
if you are ever questioned by Federal law enforcement, use one of the Hillary replies, “I don’t recall”, “I really not sure”, “I don’t remember”, “Wiped, like with a cloth?”
“There’s a damn pattern of incompetence within the FBI.”
Maybe not.
The ones who are working with Russia and the communist are the ones doing the investigation. Trying to protect themselves.
That’s some mighty big game they’ve bagged there! (chortle)
‘Prosecutors said van der Zwaan also destroyed emails the special counsel had requested.’
But if your name is Hillary and you destroy 33,000 emails and take a hammer to the cell phones, free pass.
Sessions’ DOJ is a joke.
Better yet, don’t talk to them at all. They apparently do not record their interviews. F’ers can lie about what you said.
And then a superior can make you change your lie to the lies he wants to include
That’s 30 more days than hilz or B.O. or even Teddy got.
How much do you think it cost your and I for Mueller to get that 30 day sentence?
Next, they’ll get a son of a brother of Trump’s uncle for jaywalking.
30 days in prison, or 30 days in jail? In Washington State I believe prison is reserved for people convicted and sentenced to more than one year.
30 days in jail is like a DUI sentence, it sounds sort of basic.
There’s a damn pattern of incompetence within the FBI.

For decades.
Better yet, dont talk to them at all. They apparently do not record their interviews. Fers can lie about what you said.

I’ve read about incidents in the past where they drop the idea when a potential victim insists on recording the interview, with counsel.
30 days! Gasp!!
That was for his hairstyle.
And he got off easy, on that one.
