She would have gotten away with far less if she wasn't such an asshat

Ms. Harris, 41, tested the patience of prosecutors and the judge overseeing the case, missing repeated sentencing dates and jeopardizing what otherwise appeared to be a likely path to probation. In August 2022, she pleaded guilty to conspiring to transport the stolen diary to New York, where she met with employees of the group, Project Veritas, and sold it for $40,000 just weeks before the election.

Not even fined the money she made?

Yes, she also has to pay back her cut of the money.

It’s a bit worse than that:

“The judge also sentenced her to three years’ probation, along with three months of home confinement, and ordered her to pay back the money ($20,000) she earned from the sale.”
