Methinks the Democrats were just trying to take him out of contention for higher office (the Presidency) and put Hillary’s buddy McAuliffe in the Governor’s mansion to help with VA. Now that it’s a done deal the charges can be dropped. How convenient.

Especially since Tim Kaine did the same thing

Very true, but unfortunately for McDonnell and his wife, their thinking at the time was too parochial instead of national. Sure, in Virginia, what they did was - technically - not a big deal (Tim Kaine...ahem!). Granted, the rules for Republicans are so, so different than those for Democrats (Tim Kaine...ahem!). Regardless, when they got involved with that vitamin guy, they should have backed away if he had any national career goals (and what Virginia governor doesn't?).

Now, any future plans for the national stage are shattered. Adios, Governor.

The Supreme Court overturned the conviction. That’s why the case is being dropped.
