A question never asked.. most don’t want to KNOW>...
HOW DEEP DOES THE CORRUPTION GO?..
I hope that they throw the book at his wife.
Is that all?
What did Tammy Faye McDonnell get?
McDonnell’s big mistake?
He should have switched over to the Democrat party just before he left office.
Democrats never go on trial for corruption.
Two years to serve. His crime? He accepted two free golf games at a country club from a businessman. For that, the businessman and his business got nothing from the governor or the state.
By contrast, Obama has accepted the gifts of hundreds of golf games from businessmen. Where are his indictments?
McDonnell addresses the court saying he’s a humbled man. Then further into the article it says he’s expected to appeal his sentence. Yeah, he’s humbled alright.
What corruption /s Isn’t this basically the same crap that goes on in Washington with lobbyists and union goons where people are bought and paid for with bribes to do what they say or else...
yet Harry Reid gets away with bribing Democrats god knows how many millions to vote for Obama-Care?
A NPR article and no mention of the Governor’s party affiliation?!
A pity.
What was his role again in the ‘12 primary process?
I like Bob McDonnell and still hope he’s innocent and wins his appeal. If he’s guilty and goes to prison, by his statement this afternoon it seems like the Lord will use him in prison ministry like Chuck Colson.
2 years?
Good grief. They should have made an example out of him. At least 10. These politicians need to be held to a higher standard if they are charged with lording over the masses.
James Trafficant got 7 years for similar type stuff. Two years is fair. I thought 10 was way too much. For a guy like McDonnell the public humiliation and loss of career is devastating to start off with.
