He was accused of loaning $100 to 21-year-old John T. Booker Jr. to store what they thought was an explosive device. The device was a fake bomb built by FBI informants. Prosecutors allege Booker intended to plant it outside the northeast Kansas base in support of the Islamic State group.<br\/><br\/>U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree handed down the sentence. Blair&#8217;s attorney sought a sentence of five years&#8217; probation, arguing it was easy for Booker to manipulate Blair because Blair has an unusual genetic personality condition. Prosecutors pushed for the maximum five-year prison term.Blair pleaded guilty in May to a conspiracy charge for loaning the money to Booker, who also is from Topeka.<br\/><br\/>Booker pleaded guilty in February to two felonies under an agreement calling for him to serve 30 years in prison, but he hasn&#8217;t been sentenced. He was arrested in April 2015 outside Fort Riley, about 60 miles west of Topeka, as he was trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000-pound explosive device.<br\/><br\/>Blair met Booker in January 2015, at the Islamic Center mosque in Topeka. In a court filing, Blair&#8217;s attorney said Blair was interested in Islam because he did not feel like he was &#8220;fully part&#8221; of the Christian congregations he had previously joined.<br\/><br\/>Blair has been diagnosed with Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder marked by developmental delays and a compulsion to connect with others while being unable to process social cues. Blair&#8217;s attorney said in a court filing last month that Blair&#8217;s social maturity is &#8220;similar to an 11- or 12-year-old.&#8221; A forensic psychiatrist reported in April that Blair did not believe Booker would attempt to bomb Fort Riley.<br\/><br\/>Blair&#8217;s attorney has argued that Blair would be vulnerable to physical and sexual exploitation in prison and might become violent to survive.<br\/><br\/>In a letter to the judge in August, Blair wrote that he &#8220;never wanted any harm or damage done to my country.&#8221;<br\/><br\/>&#8220;I keep trying to understand why I did it and I can&#8217;t think of any answer,&#8221; Blair wrote.<br\/><br\/>But federal prosecutors argued that neither Blair&#8217;s disorder nor his limited role in Booker&#8217;s plot negate statements Blair made to FBI agents about knowing the specifics of Booker&#8217;s plan in loaning Booker the money.<br\/><br\/>Booker plotted the bombing with two confidential FBI sources. During a court hearing in February, Booker&#8217;s attorney said Booker had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was taking medication.<br\/><br\/>Booker pleaded guilty in February to two felonies under an agreement calling for him to serve 30 years in prison.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Kansas man was sentenced Tuesday to one year and four months in
