There are other forces at work here. My cynical side thinks that someone else - or maybe the same people as before - have been using the NSA database and doing deep SQL queries on Northam and Fairfax. Hope I am wrong, but my gut tells me something like this has happened. Either it is someone on the GOP side, or it is an internal battle on the left. Notice how the previous governor - forget his name - has been so honorably and so quickly calling on Northam to resign? He’s probably tied at the hip to the contractors on the left who got their grimy little paws on the NSA database.

Terry McAwful is in fact, the Clinton machine

He was given the virginia Governor’s slot as a springboard to the Presidency. The fact he has not yet announced is because Hillary has not yet absolutely declined to run in 2020

Larry, I think there are other forces at work here. This looks like the work of the same people who torpedoed the Senate race in AL. My cynical side thinks that someone else - but more probably the same people as before - have been using the NSA database and doing deep SQL queries on Northam and Fairfax. Hope I am wrong, but my gut tells me something like this has happened. Either it is someone on the GOP side, or it is an internal battle on the left. Notice how the previous governor - forget his name - has been so honorably and so quickly calling on Northam to resign? He’s probably tied at the hip to the contractors on the left who got their grimy little paws on the NSA database. Perhaps Northam and Fairfax have not been willing - or can't be trusted - to play ball with something they are needing them to do. The Virginia AG is perhaps their guy they are making this play for?

How key is this Governorship to anything going on with Trump and the legal battles?

Somebody’s made a calculation that they could get a Black Dem governor in on the sly then have him run 4 more years and probably win then as well. Somebody else ran with the LT Governor is a racist story to block the first from happening and set up a real quagmire in Virginia politics. If both have to resign...who takes over as governor. Northam now has the perfect excuse not to resign...”Maybe I did a stupid racist thing 35 years ago but it isn’t as bad as being a rapist...I had best just stay on as governor!”
