https://www.zerohedge.com/political/plea-deal-rejected-couple-accused-selling-nuclear-submarine-secretsSince the judge is a Manchin recommendation nominated by Obama...I have to ask if her decision to reject the plea is because it is too harsh or because it is not harsh enough?
At first I thought the plea was lenient because the usual DeepState shot-callers just wanted it to go away (given who the "foreign" interest the couple sought out may have been) as perhaps it was one of their usual cut-out intention leak kind of thing...but then the curious decision by the judge who by all appearances should be playing ball threw a curve...
