...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...Brian Kischnick filed the emergency motion in U.S. District Court on Friday, asking to be transferred to home confinement.
The motion for release was originally filed under seal because of the personal information involved, according to a second order filed on Monday.
Kischnick was charged with bribery in federal programs after pleading guilty on Aug. 22, 2018. In January 2019, he was sentenced to 30 months of imprisonment and was recommended for the Residential Drug Abuse Program, the Bureau of Prisons' comprehensive drug treatment program.
On March 7, 2019, Kischnick's sentence began. While serving his sentence, he completed the residential phase of the drug treatment program. He is set to serve a minimum of 120 days in a Residential Reentry Center and had served 41 days as of Friday.
