Obama Continues His Persecution Of Bob McDonnell
The “

The prosecutors convinced a federal jury that McDonnell used his office to assist the business activities of a “vitamin supplement” business and in return, he and his wife got $150,000 in gifts and gratuities.
To many observers it appeared and still appears that McDonnell provided minimal and trivial support, well within the bounds of what representatives do under the guise of “constituent service” and was within the bounds of

Clearly, the Obama handling of the McDonnell case stands in stark contrast to how his Judicial System is handling the massive malfeasance of Hillary’s money-gathering, political favoritism and mismanagement of sensitive national security top secret information.

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.[12] Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Shortly after his indictment, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense.[5] He served his time at Federal Prison Camp, Eglin.[13] Mezvinsky, Federal Bureau of Prisons # 55040-066, was released in April 2008.[14] He remained on federal probation until 2011, and as of 2010[update] still owed $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.[15]

Hillary Gets $2 BILLION goes to White House Again
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/02/maureen-gets-150-thousand-goes-to-jail.html
Hillary’s latest take is $2 BILLION in slush fund money, much of which is from foreign sources, handled by their “Foundation”. Wasn’t she Secretary of State? Wasn't her primary responsibilities working with foreign entities?

Roanoke Times Editorial: About McDonnell’s Conviction

Roanoke Times, 9-5-2014, Pg 5: Editorial; Our view: What the jury said
http://www.roanoke.com/opinion/editorials/our-view-what-the-jury-said/article_a19c847e-3398-52b4-b510-f025ef94c973.html
This editorial sums up very well the very disturbing saga of Gov. and Mrs McDonnell and their sad fall from grace to disgrace.
It is inconceivable to me, that a Governor, lawyer and former Va AG would allow himself and his family to be compromised by such an obvious charlatan.
The dysfunctional marriage and out of control spouse may have been a contributor to the problem but certainly is not even close to a valid excuse.
I continue to have doubts about the Quid pro Quo concept (the heart of the felony charges); and apparently the RT Editor does too:
“Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about McDonnell’s conviction – and the thing that ought to really get the attention of politicians – is that the governor didn’t really do much of anything in return for all those gifts”

McAuliffe And The Hypocrisy Of Ethics
Report cites favoritism for Terry McAuliffe and brother of Hillary Clinton
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/report-cites-favoritism-for-terry-mcauliffe-and-brother-of-hillary-clinton-116370.html
“A Department of Homeland Security watchdog report issued Tuesday blasted the agency’s No. 2 official for repeatedly intervening on behalf of well-connected participants in an investor-visa program, including Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) and Tony Rodham, a brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The inspector general report faults Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for creating “an appearance of favoritism and special access” as a result of highly unusual steps he took while serving as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which oversaw the investment-based program known as EB-5.”
