(17,615 posts)Federal sentences are almost never consecutive. Since the longest possible single sentence is 20 years, that is the most he would ever get, but even that would be unheard of.
His actual sentence will be based on a set of guidelines the judge will use that takes into account the number of charges, past convictions, the terms of each conviction, etc.
It could be as little as no jail time.
So please stop adding up all the pieces parts.

(17,615 posts)None of the charges has a minimum jail time specified, and the judge has the option of non jail confinement.
Some crimes just give the judge more latitude than others.

(72,867 posts)There are 658 windows (hey that is the # I remember) on the US Capitol and only 12 were not blast proof
and the J-6 people hit everyone of them. And the 2 doors that were not blast proof got hit too.
