On what basis do you assert that the sentence was unreasonable? Do you have other, similar convictions to compare it to?
Here's the thing: there ARE no similar convictions. This is a unique case. Obstructing justice (etc.) is one thing in a non-political case. It's VERY MUCH another when it involves covering political scandals that reach into the highest offices of the administration and implicate high officials in damaging national security for purposes of political revenge.
I think covering something like that up is way more serious than other sorts of lies and obfuscations, and evidently the jury felt the same way.
