In a new filing, Jeffrey “Uncle Earl” Thompson has asked for two years of probation and 1,200 hours of community service for making illegal campaign contributions, including to a 2010 shadow campaign to get then-Mayor Vincent Gray elected.

Ron Machen, then the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, promised that Thompson’s guilty plea was “only the tip of the iceberg” in 2014. But while the investigation ensnared a former Council candidate (who was sentenced to 60 days in jail) and a former campaign aide (who was sentenced to six months in prison), among others, Gray was never charged with a crime. Thompson is a month away from hearing his fate after pleading guilty to two counts of conspiracy.

Under his plea deal, Thompson can’t spend more than six months in jail. But in today’s filing, he argues that he shouldn’t get any time for reasons including his “acceptance of responsibility for his misconduct; his truthful and extensive cooperation; the sentences imposed in comparable cases,” and his history of generosity and community service.

Thompson has even already found a place to volunteer, according to the filing. The Continental Societies, Inc., a group that works in underserved communities, has agreed to let him write grant proposals, help clients with employment and scholarship opportunities, and educate them “about making sound financial decisions.”

When admitting his guilt, Thompson also claimed that Gray knew about the shadow campaign, which raked in more than $660,000 in donations. Gray, however, has maintained his innocence throughout the case. And last year, the federal investigation into Gray’s involvement was dropped, which cleared him to run again for his Ward 7 council seat without the threat of charges looming. He won the Democratic primary last month.

Gray’s campaign driver, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy, will be sentenced today, The Washington Post reported. Thompson is slated to appear in court for sentencing on August 12.
