First off, this guy committed plenty of crimes. He threatened the life of the Vice President, he committed wire fraud, he distributed child pornography, he stole mail (a federal offense).

Second, for those claiming that this guy got nailed to the wall because his victim was an attorney: maybe, but think about what his actions could have caused if the victims were less well situated? If the husband's employer hadn't believed him, and hadn't paid for a detective service, he would have been up a creek without a paddle when the Secret Service showed up at his house.

This is terrorism, plain and simple -- making people feel unsafe where they live and work.
