    These numbers, by themselves, only have relevance for crimes where n is large. otherwise nothing can be concluded from the data because the sample size is too small!!!!

    Here's a link to the data used for the article. It tracks federal convictions from 2011 through 2016. The article says it was compiled by the Government Accountability Office at the request of the Senate Judicatory Committee.

    Everything seems to be in line. What am I missing?

    There's nothing wrong with the original source, but the tables you linked are put together by CIS and are fudged. They make it look professional and try to pass it off as if USSC released said tables, when in fact they did not.

    I realized the SPLC is looked down on around here but they've tracked some of their shenanigans in the past.
