One month? That's incredibly ridiculous!
It should be years, this in not the only person looking the other way and what was his reward for looking the other way.
A month is something, but still not much.
Looks more like he was awarded a vacation instead of punishment.
ONE MONTH IN PRISON?
What the heck is this about?
Oh gee what a message to others.
I'm shaking in my shoes over this joke of a punishment all that motive and intent to obstruct justice and we paid his salary while the good people were submitting their evidence of wrondoing?
I N S A N I T Y and I strongly disagree and object
I hate this. Where would we be without whistleblowers? They should be protected and anybody who tries to interfere with that protection should be severely punished, starting with Scott Bloch.
