Fast Terry scams:
Scamming the elderly
Greentech funding
Selling visas to Chinese
Global Crossing land scandal
http://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2013/04/terry-mcauliffe-caught-in-another-scandal-2507250.html
AND A NEAR IDENTICAL SCANDAL TO BOB MCDONNELLS, EXCEPT TERRY ALSO INVOLVED HOOKERS

Quote:Terry McAuliffe Linked To Doctor At Center Of FBI Investigations Into Underage Hookers And Medicare Fraud
[The doctor] became good friends with Terry McAuliffe, former Democratic National Committee chairman and co-chair of Clinton’s 1996 reelection campaign.
“He used to go to Dr. Melgen’s home in Casa de Campo and play golf all the time,’’ Goodman said of McAuliffe.
I'm sure lop-sided Eric Holder is on top of things with Terrence as well.

If he is guilty, burn him. Now if we could move on to the people that let 4 people get murdered in Benghazi. Then we could go after the people that used the IRS as the Gestapo, that would be nice.

So you're saying, it's okay for McDonnell to scam if it's okay for Terry to?
Don't get me wrong, I think McAuliffe is a crook of the worst order, and Va deserves what they get for electing him, but that doesn't let McDonnell and his wife off the hook.

Unsurprising. Many elected officials of both major parties are corrupt in this country - the coverup is just better.

Won't amount to anything. But why aren't you leftists complaining about wasting taxpayer dollars? And dealing with important issues? And conspiracy theories?

It's not even that big a deal here. In Virginia.

No, I'm saying Withholder can't prosecute one without prosecuting the other.
Don't want to prosecute Terry? Leave Bob alone. Prosecute Bob, then Prosecute Terry. Cleary that decision has been made, and Double standard Holder clearly is out of line.
PS - VA didn't elect Terrence, Fairfax County (DC Minor) did.
PPS - There are no laws against what McDonnell did.

Excellent point. Now Illinois, on the other hand, has seen 4 of the last 7 governors go to jail on corruption.

AWESOME THREAD. Good job all.
RE: Massive Indictment Handed down against Virginia ex-Governor - Hitch - 01-22-2014 09:29 PM
I don't think the impact will amount to much on a national or even statewide level from here on out. McDonnell is already washed up and the biggest potential impact was contributing to a Dem winning the governor's office (done). Now the damage will mostly be limited to Bob and Maureen's own lives. Their professional lives are finished so let's move along, nothing more to see but human wreckage.
RE: Massive Indictment Handed down against Virginia ex-Governor - HeartOfDixie - 01-22-2014 09:29 PM
We LOVE human wreckage!

McDonnell and his woman should not have taken gifts. Whether "legal" or not, it does not represent well a Governor free of influence. His issues hurt Cuchinelli et al. , and we now have two Dem Senators, a Dem Gov, Dem LGov, and Dem AG.
The Commonwealth will take generations to recover.
FU Bob McDonnell. I don't trust the other side, but I loathe those claiming to represent our values who violate the public trust.
RE: Massive Indictment Handed down against Virginia ex-Governor - Native Georgian - 01-22-2014 10:09 PM
Amazing to think that, less than 5 years ago, McDonnell was elected Governor of Virginia in a landslide. And less than 2 years ago, he had very high popularity-ratings in Virginia and was generally touted as one of the names on Romney's vice-presidential "short list". Now he will be fortunate to avoid prison.
Oh, the hands of time.

Eh... I had several discussions with Bob McDonnell's staff during his tenure about serious issues in the commonwealth and they always sent me to the right people and seemed concerned. Nothing got fixed, but at least he made the initial effort.
However, for his efforts in shutting down Newt Gingrich and Ken Cuccinelli, I hope he does some time. Karma sucks.
