Mama always said...



Guilty is as guilty does.

 

[Amberchgo]

Another crooked pol.


Off to jail with them!

 

[Busybody]

The charges involved gifts the couple received from a businessman, including a Rolex watch, a $15,000 check for their daughter's wedding and other items that are legal under Virginia law. Prosecutors had to prove such gifts were accepted with corrupt intent


100% certain

if he were a D

there would have been no case

It would have been a Rangel sentencing...

Apparently he's so poor that prison should be welcomed. Three meals a day and a roof over his head.

I blame the wife. Bob should have been better at servicing her.

 

[Skiddles2014]

A crooked republican?

Say it aint so!

how could you be guilty by doing something LEGAL?

Apparently, the Former First Family was very shocked that the "we can't conspire because we don't talk to each other" defense didn't fly.


At least there weren't any whore stories.

I see all the examples of the quid...what, exactly, was the quo?

I don't see how this is different than renting out the Lincoln bedroom.

How is it different from buying a neighboring house and then selling a strip of land at below market prices to a future-president neighbor?

A lot less quo than giving below market mortgages to congressmen looking the other way on fannie and freddie oversight.

Considering they were able to prove at least one email she sent to whatshisname was sent while she was in the car with her husband, I'm not surprised it didn't fly.

Conspiracy to commit a crime is often a crime, even though the planned crime never takes place.

Prosecutors had to prove such gifts were accepted with corrupt intent.

Apparently they were able to prove intent.

only if they are an R

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It seems, according to NPR, that the two administrations previous had accepted gists from donors in the range of $150K plus each. Both were Dems, and both are currently sitting senators.


Still, the appearance of impropriety could have been avoided better on McDonnell's part, no doubt.


If they nail him, he could die in prison.

 

[Que]

He will be broke when he finally wins this on appeal and his reputation will not be restored.

What he seems to have done is no different than what all politicians do. It smells but doesnt look at all criminal.

Harry Reid hasn't been caught and/or prosecuted but how does a failure of a lawyer become a multimillionaire only on a Senators salary...he had NO money going in and now he and his entire family is astoundingly wealthy.

Arizona has some of the most stringent Real Estate anti-corruption laws. It got that way because it seems like every other State Real Estate Commissioner went to jail for fraud over some land deal or another.

It got to be where one cannot give away anything of value in conjunction to or as a thank-you for a Real Estate deal. The question them became, what is something of value?

The answer came down and became known as the barbeque grill rule. You cannot gift anything that would exceed the value of a barbeque grill. You should see some of the barbeques in houses I appraised. Built in wet-bar, fireplace, pizza oven, built in refrigerator, surround sound, flagstone faced, granite counter-tops.

I didn't ask if they were gifted.

 

[Busybody]

its only cause he was an R

 

[Wat_Tyler]

What's the point in having the job if not to get paid???


The legit salary is nothing to get rich on. There has to be some other reason these assholes hang around for decades and are impossible to get rid of.


McDonnell was up-n-coming . . . until he turned into down-n-going . . . to the big house.


He should have asked for immunity and pegged in on the old lady.

To help take Bunny's mind (what's left of it) off the Gross Unfairness of it all:

This pattern has been repeated endlessly here for 15 years...

A_J's corollary #9, “When a Republican does it, it is a high crime and misdemeanor, when a Democrat does it, then it is, *shrug*, they ALL do it...”

Charlie Rangal did far worse and Democrats accepted is as part of their culture.

Last I checked, misdemeanors are smallish things, crimelets, if you will.
