He should get 20' years, just as the SS guy did.
Add another 20 for possession of classified material!

He's claiming he has an illness and is getting help. He claims he has taken a moral inventory and realizes he has a sickness.
That kind of language seems to trigger some kind of sympathy that gets one lighter sentences.
Sick alright...more like sickening!

Update: prosecutors are asking for about 2 years.
Under a plea agreement, prosecutors asked he serve 21 to 27 months behind bars. The ex-politician must also register as a sex offender.

He does have an illness - association to the Clintons.
Don't worry - it's usually fatal.
It's Friday. Time for bad news!
The Friday release is a transparent attempt to evade fallout by burying bad news ahead of the weekend.

Mr. Weiner will plead guilty to a single charge of transferring obscene material to a minor, pursuant to a plea agreement with the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan, one of the people said. Mr. Weiner surrendered to the F.B.I. early Friday morning.
One of the biggest weirdos among politicians and that's saying something!
The charge carries a potential sentence of between zero and 10 years in prison, meaning Mr. Weiner could avoid prison. The ultimate sentence would be determined by a judge.
My guess is he'll get the zero option
NYT article
Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison, facing the most severe penalty yet in connection with the sexting scandal that drove the New York Democrat out of Congress, ruined his marriage and became a late issue in the 2016 presidential race.
U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote issued the sentence in federal court in New York.
“This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment,” Cote said in a statement.
The former lawmaker's sexting habits entered criminal territory with his illicit contact with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner, 53, had pleaded guilty in May to sending sexually explicit texts to the girl across state lines. Weiner agreed not to appeal any sentence between 21 and 27 months in prison.
