McDonnell says he will serve out term as Virginia governor
Source: Washington Post
But McDonnell, a day after his attorneys met with federal prosecutors to argue against filing legal charges related to gifts and money he and his family received from a political donor, said he intends to serve out the rest of his term.
McDonnells legal team spent nearly two hours Monday with federal prosecutors in Alexandria, hoping to head off charges against him related to thousands of dollars in gifts and loans from Star Scientific chief executive Jonnie R. Williams Sr. A separate team representing first lady Maureen McDonnell also met with prosecutors. Afterward, people familiar with the meetings said prosecutors were still weighing their options.
But he was swarmed by reporters after he stepped outside the auditorium. Several pressed him about the gifts scandal. McDonnell, forcefully but with a smile, made it clear several times after several questions that he would not discuss the gifts he and his family received from Williams, or the legal jeopardy that he and his family now face.

(9,992 posts)Color me not the least surprised. I dearly hope McTransVag ends up in jail but will console myself if it's only on the dust heap of history. (Bear in mind that at one point the jackass thought he was going to be Romney's VP pick! )
Meanwhile. I can't say I'm too sad not to have to hold my nose and vote for McAuliffe. There are some things I miss about Virginia but the crap we generally got served up as governors is not one.
