Pugh, 69, pleaded guilty last fall to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of tax evasion tied to the scandal. On Thursday, prosecutors were expected to drop all of the charges except the conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge. The government had called for Pugh to be sentenced to 57 months -- nearly five years -- in prison earlier this month.
"This morning was a sad occasion," Robert Hur, the US Attorney for the District of Maryland, said to reporters following the sentencing.

And unfortunately, the type of fraud and public corruption that Ms.
Just to make sure she’s a DEMOCRATIC go figure inter city

Another DEMOCRAT CRIMINAL....who’s SHOCKED?
A thru democrate. That's how we know them.
Drain the swamp!
Catherine Pugh, Democrat.
You forgot to mention she is a DEMOCRAT
Family must be proud.....🙈🙈🙈
Hopefully immediately remanded into custody
1- Turkey has started a rightful operation against Syrian Regime to protect its borders after the vicious attacks by Syrian Regime against civilians in Turkey controlled zones. 2- Turkey has opened its doors to Europe for 72 hours. All immigrants are free to pass!
Finally some justice for democrats who break the law. Now timeto get on Hillary, Obama and the coup cabal.
Russia and Syria killed 1 million innocent people. Turkey will take revenge
The deflection mob is in full force. “This is racist!” Or “BUT BUT BUT...Trump!” So f*cking typical.
That swamp is slowly draining. As long as you have liberals in office they’ll rob you blind.
I wonder if she'll write a book about it?
Scumbag
You forgot to mention she’s a Dem
White collar crime committed by black people seems to end up in punishment that doesn’t fit the same way with white people. Check it out yourself. You would be surprised.
What a surprise, a DemocRAT having to obey a law written only to pertain to Republicans. How did that happen? Hillary, Barry, Clapper, Brennan, Komey, next? let's hope. Stroke, paige, ? Where will it end? Holder?
It’s funny how the wheels of justice turn very quickly for some.
Only the cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics in Japan can prevent further coronavirus infection. If the Tokyo Olympics were to be held, the coronavirus would spread rapidly all over the world.
Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoga Yogaishi Suga said, 'It is Japan's greed to host the Tokyo Olympics under the heavy circumstances of the Olympics. Iocdick Pound said the 'Pandemic phenomenon of the coronavirus' is at its peak and that the Tokyo Olympics should be cancelled.
Throw away the key!
That's OK, Gru,p will pardon her just watch.
So do they have evidence or is it 'collusion' or some made up BS.
If she got 3 years then Lori the college scandal momma should get at least 20 years
And yet trump people get the same for doing more. Michael Flynn can't even be sentence as yet. Trump also put here pardoning horrible people.
you know she is a democrat because the tweet doesn't say what party she is in
Basically a slap on the wrist for real crimes and Roger Stone was sentenced to 40 months for “lying” to the liars of Congress. Nothing to see here.
Will Trump pardon her? I think not, she isn't part of his good old boys club. She didn't commit a crime for him so that kind of answers my own question.
When is MSM gonna ask Eric Holder about his coverup of the Arizona Mafia case?
“Tenure cut short” certainly is one way of saying that.
She needs to appeal that sentence. (Can you do that ?)
About time!
FIFY 'Catherine Pugh, the former Democrat Baltimore mayor who Pleads Guilty To Federal Conspiracy And Tax Charges, is sentenced to three years in prison'
Tf?
Hey, CNN, if this was (R) you'd have that right up front. Why do you shape your messaging in this way? Shouldn't it be an all or none standard in identification? Of course not right? 😂
If she was one of trump's cronies she would of 1. Not sentenced yet 2. Would do less time 3. Pardon
SaveIndianMuslims
Freakin’ prison for this? We’ve all lost our minds.
Obama supporters doing what they do.
Wow she gets more time than people that conspire to destroy America working in concert with our President and WhiteHouse. She should have been friends with realDonaldTrump I suppose. Smh
Roger Stoned still has not been sentenced.
To lite
Why am I not surprised?...🙄
Good. She deserves it. I seriously doubt realDonaldTrump will pardon her. After all she is black and a Democrat.
She’s just a mayor who wrote a popular Children’s book about good health. No wonder such few people want to run for political office.
Republican Criminals go Free. Justice?
Don’t believe you. I’ll check with FOX News
Yet the RNC buys 100,000+ copies of Don Jr. book and crickets
Hear the breakfast is good in prison
If it's that easy to get a Mayor, why not the President?
Noted Republican stronghold of Baltimore
Waiting on trump to say how unfair she was treated by the legal system 🤨🤨🤨
That ugly thing stole a million dollars and got 3 years but they are always the victim of racism
Oh no! She's going to prison for that?
For those who refuse to read the article: “Pugh, 69, pleaded guilty last fall to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts of tax evasion tied to the scandal.”
One word GOOD 👍👍👍
Strange typically a political party affiliation appears in headlines about politicians. I am sure just over looked.
A collegiate scandal only gets you 10 months
I'm sure we'll hear a lot from realDonaldTrump about how unfair this is.
Don't worry, you'll soon be pardoned by Trump.
