I wonder if the prosecutors are using that announcement as leverage to get the McDonnells to plead out. You would think they might want to spare their children that agony.

Their “children” were recipients of the graft, too. Fuck 'em.

"t’s a family affair, it’s a family affair
It’s a family affair, it’s a family affair

One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn yeah
Another child grows up to be
Somebody we just love to burn

Mom loves the both of them
You see it’s in the blood, you see it’s in the blood
Both kids are good to Mom
Blood’s thicker than the mud, it’s a family affair

It’s a family affair, it’s a family affair

I’m that newlywed just a year ago
But they’re still checking each other out
And nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out

You can’t leave 'cause your heart is there
Sure you can’t stay 'cause you been somewhere else
You can’t cry ‘cause you’ll look broke down
But you’re cryin’ anyway 'cause you’re all broke down
It’s a family affair"

BTW,I see that dismissal thing didn’t work out to well for “yall”.

“Nice watch you’re wearing,” says Maureen McDonnell. “The Governor would really like one just like it.”

F’ing grifters. I hope they’re behind bars for a long time.

So no First Lady meltdown on the stand? Does that mean we’ll be limited to hearing her wail and shout from the dock? Or will defense attorneys slap a gag on trial reporters to prevent reporting that as well?

Karma is a bitch ain’t it?
