And having read all of this, I am left with a question: what crime was committed?
Did you read the indictment? The Federal charges are mostly conspiracy and wire fraud. The McDonnells are also likely to be facing state charges.
Taking cash for political favors is decidedly illegal. Not having access to evidence in the case, we simply don’t know the facts. Yet.
It will all come out in court.
Shame on them all if it’s true.
