Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley is being investigated by the Anne Arundel County state’s attorney office for purchasing furniture from the state at a discount after serving two terms as governor, a spokeswoman with the state’s attorney’s office said.

The investigation stems from the O’Malley family taking dozens of items with them when they moved out of the Annapolis mansion last January, pieces of furniture that O’Malley’s administration had deemed “excess property,” according to state records.

Well at least he paid something: Her Thighness and Bubba just stole stuff outright.

Abuse of state property sales occurs all the time. Most of the sales are never advertised to any extent, and it’s an insider situation to bid just cents on the dollar for anything from tractors and cars.....to laptops.

Ain’t that the truth. I seem to remember they even looted the warehouse where all the excess stuff is kept. Grifters, thieves and liars - both him and her.

Don’tcha just love convenient fire sales?

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

A lot of the furnishings in the mansion are period pieces with important provenance. Too a lot of these were donated by old established Maryland families. These are not Kmart TV tables.

Hmmm, clearing the field for Bernie to slay the Wildebeest.

Any bets on whether the Anne Arundel County state’s attorney is somehow on the Clinton payroll?

I bet you dollars to donuts that the Wye Oak (that was made into a desk.. if I remember correctly) was taken. Yes... the furnishings are valuable Maryland/historic pieces and not the Big Lot furniture sale types.
