William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson Gets 13 Years

I don't see the sentence as unjust, this man was aggressively corrupt, and took bribes.

I do wonder though why Randall "Duke" Cunningham, who did far worse, compromising major defense contracts and the operations of the CIA in the process of his corruption only got 7 years?

As to whether it's a black/white thing, or a Democratic/Republican thing, or Cunningham's age/health, or his history as a stick jock, I don't know, but the disparity is troubling.

I'm not saying that Jefferson didn't get what he deserved. He deserved that, and more.

I'm saying that Cunningham should have gotten more, even with the leniency accorded a guilty plea relative to Jefferson's conviction.
