“The charges involved gifts the couple received from a businessman, including a Rolex watch, a $15,000 check for their daughters wedding and other items that are legal under Virginia law.”
If the Rolex and the 15k for the wedding were legal, why was he prosecuted??
He was prosecuted by the federal government, I believe. What is legal under state law may not be legal under federal law.
Of course the real irony is the current Dim governor is as corrupt as can be. He probably will not be prosecuted.
