Meanwhile the current governor of Virginia is Terry McAuliffe
Mr Global Crossing
Enough said about that standard of sleaze

Is this inquisition against McDonnell intended to draw fire away from Kaine? how much in gifts did he accept when he was Governor?

Good to know the Supreme Court can be overridden.

Can you say Obama care?

I knew you could...

The DOJ is no longer just politicized. It is weaponized.

They won’t go through with it. They just want to disgust enough independents in Virginia to swing the state to Hillary.

The same DOJ that gave Hillary a pass? The same DOJ that has had nothing to say about Gov. Kaine who did the same thing? THAT DOJ?

The double standard is again the policy of a corrupt DOJ.

As the article perceptively states, this is “all part of a nefarious scheme by Democrats to make Republican politicians look as corrupt as Democrat politicians”.

This scheme is not all that different from their scheme to use the IRS to target conservatives. Once again a federal agency is being used as a political weapon. Chilling stuff.

Democrats will stop at nothing to hold on to power.

. “The US Supreme Court overturned a convictionin June against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for bribery.” ( from the article)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?....How much did this cost McDonnell? Is he bankrupt yet? How many years of anxiety and lost sleep for him and his family?

For Democrats, they don't really care about a conviction. The punishment is subjecting their political enemies to the legal system.

If Trump doesn’t within the first 30 days replace the top three layers of every Federal department and agency, they will work tirelessly to undermine his administration. They are corrupt to the core and the bureaucratic barns need to be cleaned out asap. And that includes the Pentagon, FBI and CIA.

There was no evidence of this with McDonnell; he did virtually nothing to assist Williams with getting a government contract.

The standard, here should be the Mike Espy trial.

It’s unbelievable the way our justice system has been so corrupted.

It sure is, but then it’s no surprise under this administration.
