I am not a lawyer but I would guess a felony because
Quote:In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor. The classification is based upon a crime's potential sentence, so a crime remains classified as a felony even if a defendant receives a sentence of less than a year of incarceration.[3] Individual states may classify crimes by other factors, such as seriousness or context.

and the plea agreements all have something like
Quote:Defendant's base offense level is 7, because Defendant is pleading guilty to an offense of conviction that has a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years or more (USSG § 2B1.1(a)(1));
