If you count disbarment and a judicial slap on the wrist being “quite fricked”. Then you are right.

But hell. Even with that she is getting more than what the violent street thugs get in blue areas.

The government offered no evidence that Judge Dugan acted “corruptly,” either in the ordinary sense of that term’s common usage or as courts have defined this motive element of 18 U.S.C. § 1505, the statute charged in Count Two. The government tendered no evidence of bribery, other graft, or any form of actual or attempted self-dealing by Judge Dugan. Agents never gave Judge Dugan E.F.R’s name or identified him to her. They also never showed her the administrative warrant. Judge Cervera, though, testified that Judge Dugan said the name “Flores.” The agents saw E.F.R. when he re-entered the hallway and they followed him. They arrested him outside the courthouse. The government’s implicit suggestion through its evidence is that E.F.R. finished his court appearance and walked into the public hallway too quickly, not too slowly, that morning, because Dugan called his case almost immediately after returning to the courtroom. On any view of this evidence, though, E.F.R. returned to the public hallway at exactly the same time he would have, had he left the courtroom through the usual doors. He just took a different path straight into the public hallway. On the route he took, he was no more concealed from the agents—who again were not in the courtroom and could not see what was happening there—than had he instead walked back through the courtroom gallery to the usual doors. The government’s concealment and obstruction charges both rest entirely, then, on the immaterial distinction that E.F.R. emerged into the public hallway less than twelve feet away from where agents expected him, at the same time and in view of two agents just as he otherwise would have.
