Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. I already answered that question numerous times in my past posts. Why don't you dig and find the truth about what really happened and how the government set him up, lied, etc.. He plea bargained because they held him in SuperMax prison (sometimes in solitary confinement dungeon) for illegal contempt of court without a trial for 7 years. Because he had sensitive information about their illegal activities. They needed a fall guy for the actions they did w.r.t. to Safra and Republic Bank and the Russia manipulation. He has posted many of the supporting and court documents on his blog.

Wikipedia bans Congress

Quite frankly, the problem  with Wikipedia is that its open forum should be closed to politics and living persons. Wikipedia has become a political manipulation tool for false information and the fault is the ability for anyone to write about anything. Wikipedia administrators have imposed a ban on page edits from computers at the US House of Representatives, following “persistent disruptive editing”. Guess what, my own page has been edited do many times back and forth by I believe Tancred Schiavoni and friends not to mention altering the definition of contempt to support the position that the receiver Alan Cohen was hired by Goldman Sachs, the very firm we collected evidence against and became a board member yet refused to resign running Princeton Economics. Wikipedia in this area of self-interest is a joke. Anyone can alter the page of a living persons amount to criminal liability for slander yet Wikipedia supports them.

The ban against Congress IPs will not change anything, The problem lies in the design of propaganda.
