The sacrificial lamb that provided the excuse for the Obama administration’s disaster in Benghazi is offered up:
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The filmmaker behind an anti-Islam YouTube video that was initially blamed for sparking deadly protests in the Muslim world admitted today violating his probation and was sentenced to a year in federal prison.
Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, who previously used the name Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, admitted four allegations of using false identities, including having a California driver’s license with a fake name. In exchange for his admission, prosecutors dropped four other allegations.
He had faced a possible sentence of two years behind bars for the eight probation violations.
Youssef pleaded no contest in 2010 to bank fraud charges for using phony Social Security numbers to open bank and credit card accounts, according to court documents. He was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison and ordered not to use computers or the Internet for five years without prior authorization.
He was also prohibited from using fictitious names during his supervised release.
In court today, U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder said Youssef must spend 12 months behind bars, followed by four years of supervised release. Youssef has already been in custody for about five weeks.
Incredible. When a presidential administration makes a catastrophic blunder, an excuse, a scapegoat, and a platoon of jackboots are always close at hand. Land of the free? Not while these clowns have power without the consequences.
