Former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and his wife were charged on Tuesday with illegally accepting gifts — including luxury vacations, private jets and large loans — from a wealthy businessman seeking special treatment from the government.
Federal prosecutors say McDonnell, a Republican, and his wife Maureen repeatedly received gifts and loans totaling more than $160,000 from dietary-supplement executive Jonnie R. Williams Sr. In exchange, the McDonnells allegedly bolstered Williams’ struggling company with the prestige of the governor’s office. The indictment on Tuesday charges them with 14 counts, including wire fraud and conspiracy.

$160k is pretty cheap for a Senator. I figured they would go for more. Jackson set the bar pretty high. I seem to recall he stole $700k from donations. If the McDonnell's are convicted may be they can get adjoining rooms with Jackson.

Yea, someone has yet to explain to me how he is still in office. Only thing that makes sense to me is that he has dirt on others and it's one of those MAD things.

Thank God it was declared constitutional. Now everyone gets to see just how right all the critics were about it being a train wreck.

And believe me, the train wreck has only just started.

Just wait until more companies start opting out of providing insurance and start sending the cancellation notices out to employees in the months leading up to the November elections...
