but lobbying is legal in washington :what:

The 14-count indictment against McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, includes one count of conspiracy to commit honest-services wire fraud; three counts of honest-services wire fraud; one count of conspiracy to obtain property under color of official right; six counts of obtaining property under color of official right; and one count of making false statements to a federal credit union.

Bob McDonnell is also charged with an additional count of making a false statement to a financial institution, and Maureen McDonnell is charged with one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.

"Today's charges represent the Justice Department's continued commitment to rooting out public corruption at all levels of government," Acting Assistant Attorney General Raman said in a news release. "Ensuring that elected officials uphold the public's trust is one of our most critical responsibilities."

McDonnell left office earlier this month after four years in the governor's office. Virginia law limits governors to a single term.

A federal investigation overshadowed the final months in office for the once-rising star of the Republican Party, with authorities looking into gifts he and his family received from a political donor.

In July, McDonnell apologized and said he had returned more than $120,000 in loans and other gifts from Johnnie Williams, the CEO of pharmaceutical company Star Scientific.
He insisted that he had done nothing illegal on behalf of Star Scientific but said he'd do "things differently today than choices I made a couple of years ago."

:stopitslime: this was an under the table deal, not a political contribution..... although in essence that is what lobbying is, but getting gifts off the books in return for some favors is #inherently wrong....

and this guy and his wife got caught out there....

Franklin ave.
There's a pattern here it seems. Him and Perry, though two obvious douchebags do indeed have SOME anti-establishment leanings. All dem governors are establishment puccies for the most part, that's the ONLY reason we likely won't be hearing about their dirty laundry, not because they aren't "corrupt". All speculation here ofcourse.

:huhldup: Dude only made out with 200k, this shyt wasn't worth it at all. He was already making 175k a year.

The situation obviously speaks for itself. The fact that they even mentioned the sh*t about the mansion food just shows how bad they are trying to dirty dude's name :heh:
