I sure hope McAuliffe ends up getting dragged in to this crap and ends up going to prison.
There are only a handful of politicians whom I despise more than I despise Terry McAuliffe.
“long-time Clinton-intimate Terry McAuliffe” ....I misread as, ‘long-time Clinton INMATE’!
Imagine a scenario in which you run into Sid Blumenthal and Terry Mcauliff in a sinking boat? You only have room to save one. Which one do you save?
I can’t see this hurting McAuliffe because there is distance between him and Clinton. But it does show that the FBI guy should have waved the flag over the money.
VA legislature is passing new state law that makes it illegal for any candidate, successful or not- to keep and spend the ir campaign donations.
Point of fact here is that Jill McCabe stood ZERO chance of beating the conservative anti-abortion Republican Richard Black. The payment, which was a pass through Mcaulliffe, was really from the Clinton Global Initiative political funds, and the amount was way over 450K more like 600-700K.
It was, as a result, a “retainer” for McCabe to “handle” the email investigation and neuter it- paid through her in a fairly ham handed way, noticed by all. Mcauliffe as the longtime bagman for the clintons from way back, is NOT a Virginian- he’s a damn yankee from upstate NY... and... at least a bottle a day scotch or bourbon alcoholic (see his facial florid color and washed out hair color (classic boozer). He is also under federal corruption investigation concurrently- and has much to worry about. Northam should be neutered by the Legislature.
McAuliffe is a low life, currupt, dangerous political thug that belongs in prison. People like him don’t belong anywhere near the reins of power. He’s cut out of the same cloth as Harry Reid.
