McDonnell is fighting this indictment and, given the pure mendacity of the Regime, we should not take it as gospel. However, it does look like they have him in a sticky wicket.

It's really too bad that the DOJ, especially the DOJ under Bush, didn't take a similar intererst in the similar activities of the Mahdi and Moochelle. To go down Memory Lane a ways, lovely young Moochelle got squeezed out the Illinois bar like the rotten contents of a putrescent pustule due to what's been rumored to have been suborning perjury in an insurance case.

Thereafter she got a $100,000 public relations sinecure job with a corporate affiliate of the University of Chicago where, coincidentally, the Mahdi was "teaching" at the law school as a "constitutional law lecturer," a position he heed for 12 years without writing a single academic paper, something that must be a dubious record in the history of the University of Chicago College of Law.

Then, shortly after the Mahdi was elected to the U. S. Senate, Moochelle's sinecure was upgraded to a vice presidency and her salary was just about tripled to a bit over $300,000 per year. Shortly thereafter, and simply coincidentally, the Mahdi obtained a $1,2000,000 earmark for Moochelle's employer.

Naturally, NO BRIBERY was involved in all of this, even though the infamous Blago, Illinois' former governor, was indictd for and convicted of bribery in a very similar scheme involving his wife.
