... that's some rhetorical excess!

Left out of the quoted sections above are details about his first lawyer, Leduc. He has been deployed with the Army reserves to Qatar, where he is helping process Afghan refugees. He claims that “My strategy paid off to Paul’s benefit. No other Federal defendant who is pleading to a felony will get a sentence better than Paul.”

The QAnon Shaman has just pleaded guilty to the same felony charge, and prosecutors estimated his sentence at 41 to 51 months.

So we shall see.
