The issue of whether there is nothing legally improper about his retrial is besides the point. The point clearly is that this is a political persecution by Democrats. Its their modus operandi. Its what they do. Can you honestly see this same scenario happening to a Democrat politician?
“The point clearly is that this is a political persecution by Democrats”
Well, no that isn’t the point at all, according to your previous posts.
You claimed it was “double jeopardy” and you seem to now understand that it isnt.
Then you claimed that a “unanimous agreement” somehow should let McDonnell escape further prosecution.
Now you claim “political witch hunt”.
The real point is that when all the loot, the loans, the catering, the rolexes, dresses, shopping sprees on private jets, the sports cars and other dubious corrupt privilege McDonnell received is piled up into one mound in front of a jury, they are likely to convict him again. If they get correct instructions this time, he is going to jail.
None of this would have happened if McDonnell was remotely honorable and honest. It wouldn’t have happened if his wife had an ounce of dignity or honesty within her.
He is in this spot because he is a corrupt politician.
Yes, the DOJ may have let him get away with it if he wasn’t a Republican.
But THAT my friend is the only thing about this case that is beside the point.
Don’t shed any tears for the larded pig getting caught, while others escape. He wants people like you to whine and complain on the off chance he gets a pass since other democrats have in the past.
Screw his corrupt ass to the wall. He did it to himself!
