mcDonnell compares US prosecution to Caligula

[PACE]

states he is being "targeted" because of partisan politics, his rationale, the law "being stretched" prosecute him for corruption.

I beg to differ; the law is not being "stretched" it's being exercised to get to the bottom of McDonnell's unusual relationship with "the kindness of strangers"

And also, let's not forget Rowland, 4 previous governors of Illinois, Dan Rostenkowski, and many others.

Stop your whining McDonnell, and cough up a defense worthy of the lawyers you have retained.

It looks like an open and shut case from what I've seen Pace.

You know it works though when these good xtian soldiers get caught

So I read most of the article you attached. I don't quite follow your main contention here?

Is it if you have taken a gift or kickback, everything you ever did as a govt official or to try to help this nation or the military is tainted and to be rejected?

Or is it, Israel is a despicable entity never to be trusted just as we suspected all along?

I am just curious what the main point was and why that article was selected in particular?

Admiral Rickover, Father of the Nuclear Submarine, accepted what is considered nowadays a "nominal" gift, however, the companies in question were under investigation for corruption; if you remember, post WWII Truman had set up a task force to investigate "gouging" "cost abuses". WWII was delivered on the PO check theory, a work scope was offered, pricing was considered in the form of a PO, if accepted, the contractor did the work, wrote in the amount on the check and cashed it.

Now in war times, the factors associated with expediency get weighed against governance, and sometime governance loses.

The point is, while McDonnell is saying the law is stretched in order to prosecute him, he is mistaken; this has been going on since the 1950's. No one is exempt in the execution of a public office, or an office of considerable authority, in private sector or government, to accept what is considered gifts of a consequential sum.

McDonnell should study up on this; it might help him in his defense.

Too often, the court of public opinion weighs more than the actual law.

Justice is blind, we should treat her as such, otherwise, get the broad some ray bans, the bull shit flying around Washington and in this case, Richmond is just too much for the old girl.
