Methinks the Democrats were just trying to take him out of contention for higher office (the Presidency) and put Hillary’s buddy McAuliffe in the Governor’s mansion to help with VA. Now that it’s a done deal the charges can be dropped. How convenient.
“Where do I go to get my reputation back ?”
Although the REAL reason they didn’t continue the prosecution, is a certain Presidential Candidate who makes McDonnell look like a penny candy thief in comparison to a bank robber. . .
Probably so they can point to this and say “Cases about corruption of public officials are hard to prove and rarely succeed” in defense of a decision not to investigate the Clinton foundation scandals...
Chumps compared to the criminal Clintons.
As Reagan’s Labor Sec. said when exonerated from false charges brought against him by Democrats, “ Where do I go to get my reputation back?” Democrats are such masters of corruption that they never suffer for ruining the lives of Republicans. But there is comfort in God’s promise: “Vengeance is mine. I will repay says the Lord.”
Political witch hunt. American courts are corrupt playgrounds for Democrats to destroy political enemies.
There was quid, but there was no pro quo.
They’re dumb, but they didn’t sell favors like the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
Mission accomplished.
Compared to Clinton’s Bag Man who now occupies the Gov.’s mansion, McDonnell is an Eagle Scout.
