Should County Commissioner Jerry Eversole get jail time?

Former Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and has  agreed to resign and not run for elected office for the next 10 years. His partner in crime, Michael Surface also sang. From the Houston Chronicle:

Houston developer Michael Surface told a federal judge Friday that he intended to influence Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole with roughly $100,000 in cash and gifts in what Department of Justice prosecutors had alleged was a bribery scheme to land county contracts

And.....

During Eversole's trial in March, prosecutors said Surface paid for trips, $35,000 for antique firearms with ivory pistol grips and $63,000 for the final payment on a $180,000 piece of land Eversole bought.

You have to wonder if these were the same antique firearms he bought with his donors money. As a felon, Eversole cannot own or buy guns again and come Jan 4 he will be sentenced for lying. If any other person in Harris county lied to the FBI what could we expect for a sentence? Probation? Jail time?

What would a former Commissioner with a high powered, expensive, lawyer, paid with his campaign donor's money, get? Or what should he get?

If it was Harris County, he would get a pass, as they have done in the past. The Tea Party talks tough on crime except when it's one of their own, but this is a federal case and a federal judge that will hand down Eversole's sentence. The judge could do us all a favor and sentence Eversole to at least 3 years in the pen.

But.....don't be holding out for a fair sentence. I bet he gets 10 years probation and a hefty fine.

Paid with his donor's money.
