Rob McCord, the disgraced former Pennsylvania treasurer who became a wire-wearing FBI informant, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for his involvement in an expansive pay-to-play political scandal that resulted in the downfall of several state officials.

McCord, treasurer from 2009 to 2015, pleaded guilty in February 2016 to extortion charges related to his attempts to secure campaign money for his failed 2014 gubernatorial bid. By entering into a plea deal with the government—which involved wearing a wire in order to catch other corrupt politicians targeted in a sweeping FBI probe—McCord sought to improve his situation.
