    There was no expectation that he would get the maximum sentence. Still, I think he got the longest sentence ever handed down to a senator. The most disturbing thing about all this is that he still gets to keep his pension.

    why does he keep his pension? He was convicted of a felony.

    It may be more accurate to say that his creditors can continue to collect from his pension. My understanding is that there id quite a bit of debt.

    OJ got to keep his pension despite losing the civil case. The Goldman's never got a penny. He's still got his NFl pension in jail today.

    There is nothing in the law to make a felon forfeit a pension that he earned before he committed a felony, unless his felony had something to do with his pension.

    If Jefferson gets out and runs for Congress again, He would get reelected.

    OJ lost the civil case and owes $millions that he will never repay.

    So does this case fall under this category. He got his pension while defrauding the pensioner right?
