According to reporting in DC metro area news, while he was not sentenced to the max, it was also felt that community service was not enough. In addition much was made of the unhealthy influence of his wife who was depicted as money grubbing, unhappy and greedy. It was also reported that he was so busy dealing with the problems of governing, that he either paid little attention to her deteriorating behavior patterns, or felt he had to wait until his term was over to get her the help she seemed to need. I am not saying this is what I believe, but what the news sources in general were reporting.

We need to begin holding the Democrats to this same standard.

Very splashy trials of the self proclaimed leader AND their media sycophants and butt kisser, with LONG prison sentences and huge fines to get the point across that they work for US...

The corruption within our Government on all levels is breathtaking.

Our country desperately needs to stop this or we will become a third world Banana Republic with the Democrats in charge.

Looks like Bob is going to walk, pretty easy to show that the Judge was biased over his wife not getting her Judgeship.

Federal District Court Judge James R. Spencer could have sentenced McDonnell to community service, but instead threw the book at him. Tellingly, it came out in December that McDonnell had opposed the appointment of Spencer’s wife 18 years ago to the Virginia State Supreme Court during a partisan battle in the state legislature.

Nope, no conflict of interest there.

Judge James Spencer was appointed to the bench by Reagan, but it is reported that he and his wife are both Democrats.

Lesson to GOP Presidents, never appoint rats to anything unless they are Senate/House members who's seats you can take (ala Tony Hall).

Poor, poor politicians getting thrown in jail because the simply did not understand that they can’t take sweetheart loans from sleazy businessmen. They can’t take rolexes, shopping sprees. They can’t get their daughters weddings catering bills paid for.

It’s almost like it’s illegal to have your friends give you free stuff just because you were elected to be governor.

McDonnell deserves jail. He got it, and he’s trying to weasel out of it. Anyone who defends him is a fool.

His fate should be that of every corrupt politician.

He’s a scumbag. do your time, you poor confused hair-splitter POS.

The literal pile of loot did him in to the jury. It was right there in front of them, and they were supposed to believe the law was too confusing?
