Judge Jackson sentenced Rick Gates to 45 days (which can be served on weekends), three years of probation, and a $20,000 fine.
She acknowledged the valuable cooperation Gates provided to prosecutors and investigators and noted that she believed he is truly remorseful.
However, she added that she was not inclined to overlook his crimes and sentence him to probation only. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/17/788490826...ys-in-jail

Next up for sentencing, former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn. His sentencing hearing is set for Jan. 28.
Flynn appears to be claiming deep-state victimhood and hoping for a pardon from Trump now, despite admitting guilt under oath and despite the recommendations from the judge at his last sentencing hearing. https://theweek.com/speedreads/884642/ju...ncing-date
