Sen. Tim Kaine legally accepted more than $162,000 in gifts when he served as lieutenant governor and governor of Virginia..
The disclosures have been publicly available for years, but they could be under some scrutiny now, since Kaine has been floated as a possible vice presidential pick for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Virginia Democrat disclosed the gifts from 2001 to 2009, according to reports filed by the Virginia Public Access Project, which Politico reported.
Most of the gifts were for travel to and from political conferences and events. Accepting gifts is legal under Virginia's lax ethics rules, and Kaine's aides pointed out there was no suggestion of official favors in return, and he has exceeded the reporting requirements.
"During his eight years as lieutenant governor and governor, Sen. Kaine went beyond the requirements of Virginia law, even publicly disclosing gifts of value beneath the reporting threshold," a spokesperson told Politico. "He's confident that he met both the letter and the spirit of Virginia's ethical standards."
The disclosures showed he received an $18,000 Caribbean vacation from Virginia-based tech investor James Murray, Jr., and in 2007 received $5,500 in clothing from Stuart Siegel of S&K Menswear, a company that declared bankruptcy in 2009. Teva Pharmaceuticals gave $12,000 for expenses incurred for the Democratic Governors Association meeting in Aspen in 2006. Obama for America had the largest disclosure--$45,075 for travel and lodging related to the 2008 presidential campaign.
Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was charged with corruption over $165,000 in gifts and loans while he was governor, although the conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court earlier this week. The original charges stemmed from the fact that these gifts and loans were from a single donor, Jonnie Williams, and McDonnell was accused of giving Williams favors in exchange for his largesse.

What are Kaine’s views on Transgender restrooms? I have a feeling he might want to go into one for some reason. Some people have said to keep your little boys away from this guy. Did he ever study for the priesthood?
This guy is so left wing it is shocking. He is clever at hiding it. But when his opponent for governor claimed Kaine would raise taxes by a billion, Kaine said his opponent was disqualified from being governor because of his lies. 10 days after his election as governor Kaine proposed a $1 billion tax increase.
Looky there, See BS “news” already out there defending Hitlery’s pool boy.
Wow, I think you might know something. I will look into this.
'The Detroit Free Press reports Muslims played a critical role in the November midterm elections.
Imam Mahdy Bray, Speaking at a Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America convention in Dearborn, highlighted the effective effort to turn out Muslim voters in Virginia.
The effort was so organized that Muslim taxi drivers in northern Virginia took the day off to ferry Muslims to the polls, said Imam Mahdy Bray, a speaker at the convention. Volunteers also made phone calls to Muslims in Virginia to urge them to vote, he said.
As a result, Democrat James Webb ousted incumbent Republican George Allen by about 9,000 votes in a race in which 50,000 Muslims went to the polls -- 47,000 of them voting for Webb, Bray said.

If 96 percent of Muslims are going to vote Democratic, that would make them a more reliable Democratic constituency than African Americans.
“Legally accepted”
BS.
They just chose not to prosecute.
Gifts are bribes.
They make it sound like they were innocent gifts from his mother.
I hadn't heard this today.

$160K is just a rounding error to the Clintonistas.
