From the Donovan:

Simple. What he did was far worse than what Martha Stewart did. One can only wonder what the thinking was on the side of the Justice Department.
If it were me – I’d have a lifetime revocation, large fine – and depending on the documents… jail time. Mind-boggling to those of us who have lived our professional lives under those rules. And since when do the Feds have a ‘misdemeanor’ equivalent? Is he pleading guilty under a civil charge, or criminal? Somehow, however, I don’t think Mr. Berger will be selling his house to cover his debts and asking people, “You want fries with that?”
