He should have evaded taxes like ol' Charley...
One by one, “they” have managed to malign potential Republican presidential candidates. If anything, the McDonnells are guilty of being stupid, naive, but I really don’t think corrupt. It makes me both sad and angry to see this happen.

this will be the framework that the regime uses to go after any other republican governor.
This is the difference, democrats play for keeps.
I remember a couple years back when the lib media was all concerned by the deep bench of the GOP.
The Dems are certainly alleviating that concern. Not by creating their own strong farm system.
But by suing and prosecuting each and every major GOP star.
The best defense strategy that McDonnell could have used would have been to immediately announce he was switching to the Democrat party as soon as he was charged. All charges would have been immediately dismissed.
The donks are successfully criminalizing being a conservative and/or Republican.
Well, two can play that game...
Bob McDonnell was far from perfect as Governor and was hardly a conservative, but I believe he was persecuted for the crime of being a Republican with Presidential ambitions. I understand that the judge’s instructions to the jury basically told them that they had to convict if the Governor helped Johnny Williams in any way - even if that assistance fell under the normal duties of a governor to promote business in his or her state.
“The charges involved gifts the couple received from a businessman, including a Rolex watch, a $15,000 check for their daughter’s wedding and other items that are legal under Virginia law.”
If the Rolex and the 15k for the wedding were legal, why was he prosecuted??
Good. Let both scumbags rot in jail.
There’s nothing lower than a politician who betrays his public office to pad his own wallet. No matter what party he belongs to. We can’t countenance crooks in the GOP.
"When public officials turn to financial gain for official actions, we have little choice but to prosecute the case," he (U.S. Attorney Dana Boente) said.
Unless the choice is made for you to NOT prosecute...(Holder)
