Justice Department prosecutors had recommended sentencing McGonigal to a prison term of two years and six months for the Washington case alone.
McGonigal was scheduled to report to prison next month to begin serving his sentence in the New York case.
McGonigal was separately charged with concealing his ties to the former Albanian official, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was living in New Jersey.
McGonigal pleaded guilty last September to concealing material facts, a charge punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five years.
McGonigal didn't need more prison time beyond his 50-month sentence in New York “to serve the ends of justice,” Ducharme argued.
