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?
