    Bob McDonnell, Wife Indicted On Federal Corruption Charges: Report

    Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and wife Maureen were indicted on federal corruption charges Monday, the Washington Post reports.

    The couple is being charged for illegally accepting gifts while McDonnell was in office.

    Earlier this month, McDonnell acknowledged the scandal during his final State of the Commonwealth address, saying he was "deeply sorry" for any pain caused.

    This is a developing story... check back for updates...

              Maddow covered this story pretty well. It was hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of "gifts", none of it reported as legally required, and all of it from one guy who happened to be asking the governor for lots of favors and laws changes; most of which he got. As I can recall this corrupt piece of **** used to be HC's man crush and HC used to claim he'd be the next President.

                      Methinks the GF took over his account.

                        Guys, this is a scandal involving a conservative. Let's all just pretend it didn't happen and talk about something else.

                          Agreed.


                          This is sidebar news on CNN. The big stories are Richard Sherman and what former Virginian Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli thinks about Chris Christie.

                            I'm offended that kentonio didn't also find an example of a Democrat doing something bad so this thread could be fair and balanced.
