McAuliffe says he's confident probe will find no wrongdoing

BOYCE — Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Tuesday that he's confident a federal investigation into donations made to his 2013 campaign will find no wrongdoing.

"There [are] no wrongdoing allegations that have been made," McAuliffe said to reporters Tuesday after a bill-signing ceremony in Clarke County. "If you read the story yesterday, they have some questions about a donor. My legal team fully vetted this individual. He's been a green card holder since 2007. So we're very confident."

CNN first reported Monday that McAuliffe is the focus of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice. The precise nature of the probe is unclear. Investigators are said to be looking at donations to McAuliffe's 2013 gubernatorial campaign, particularly $120,000 McAuliffe received from Chinese businessman Wang Wenliang through a U.S.-based affiliate company.

McAuliffe said his reaction was "shock" after learning of the probe Monday. "Listen, you get leaks and things happen in the business," McAuliffe said. McAuliffe also sought to distance the investigation from The Clinton Foundation, a charitable organization founded by close McAuliffe allies Bill and Hillary Clinton. McAuliffe said the investigation has "nothing to do with" the foundation.

McAuliffe previously served as a board member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a program of the Clinton Foundation. Several donors to McAuliffe's campaign, including Wang, have also donated to the Clintons' charitable groups.

"I think we travel in the same circles," McAuliffe said. "I've traveled the world with President Clinton and we have a lot of the same friends."

McAuliffe said he's "not sure" if he's met Wang in person.

Do these guys enjoy insulting our intelligence?? Or do liberals just assume that the MSM will cover for them???

We are expected to believe that McAuliffe doesn’t know if he ever met this major six figure donor to his campaign??? Really??? He really doesn’t know who he is and just can’t remember him???

Reminds me of his buddy Bill Clinton who just could not remember Paula Jones. Yet Bill paid $800 grand to settle a case brought by a woman he just can’t remember.......

Uh huh. Not that there wasn't any, they're just not going to be able to find it. Thanks for the laugh, Terry.

He just has to stall until Hillary is sworn in. A lot of people probably literally have their freedom on the line in the Trump/Hillary election. I’m sure what he did is SOP in DC but everyone knows that there are no consequences. An “outsider” getting elected is is not supposed to happen.

Is this a shot across the bow directed at the Clintons??? Since McAuliffe is such a close ally of them?? And now he joins Hillary as being under investigation??? Just wondering where this came from all of a sudden.........

McAwful is also supposedly being looked at over a jobs program he instigated a few years back with the Chinese in Appomattox VA.

Apparently, NO jobs, No one knows (well admits) where the money is and McA was ‘questioned’.

In this one he is seen with a bunch of Chinese holding a giant check (forget how much 2 or maybe 12 million - a million here, a million there and it soon starts adding up to big money).

McA is a clintoon stooge, maybe he is the one who taught HRC the

“I don’t recall” defense

What this guy needs is a good anal probe, but he is probably right, the Clintons already made the phone call

If he goes down, yes. And if he wants a Presidential pardon he'd better do some dancing as well.

Brings to mind Blago, Torricelli, Ray Nagin...

And Hillary.

Interesting how McAwful is being “investigated” but Clinton’s emails (not Clinton herself of course) are included within a “security probe”.

He leaves his residence in central NY and becomes Gov of Virginia while Hillary (never having lived in NY) shows up in the Hudson Valley and becomes Senator representing NY. Mind boggling.

Do our states not have enough home grown crooks that we have to import them and immediately entrust them with undeserved power and access to our money?

the FPOS doesn't say he didn't DO anything wrong, just that he's confident they can't FIND the PROOF he did anything wrong...
