This would be an excuse mitigating the crimes in her mind. I guess they have no defense for Maureen. This is a perfect defense for Bob.
First sentence is unintelligible.
Showered with gold, figuratively of course.
McDonnell considered Williams her “favorite playmate.”
"1,200 phone calls and text messages during McDonnell’s indictment "
“Maureen immediately gravitated toward Jonnie,”
I think this is called a lose-lose for the governor.
Yes - wouldn’t you assume that this approach attempts to make her crimes seem “understandable” and also attempts to remove culpability from McDonnell himself?
Bribery, insider trading and price fixing are completely non-violent, victimless activities that involve money and exchange of favors.
John Roberts and his conservative RATS on the Supreme Court have said that money is free speech especially when very christyrannical folk are involved. I know that Maureen and Bob are very christyrannical and so their bribery is not a crime and should be completely legal. I wonder whether Maureen used contraception when she was involved with Johnny Williams and whether the State’s insurance paid for the contraception. This might make John Roberts and his RATS mad.
Understandable on an emotional level for the jury and the whole saga ended up with Bob losing the affection of his wife and control of her behavior. We know they were gold diggers and the AG and Governorship were great platforms. This approach will destroy any family and Christian values left at Regent U.
It’s like an episode of the frickin’ Beverly Hillbillies.
Now this is where the TLC cameras ought to be, in this courtroom taping this rendition of Fifty Shades Of Grey. Praise the LORD and pass the Rolex!
I have a feeling a lot of “icky” details will be coming out during this trial. Forget popcorn, i’m stocking up on brain bleach.
So… did she nail him, or vice-versa?
They both obviously took the $arah Palin School of Grifting course. Sounds like they graduated with honors.
It was mutual.
You only grift the one you love.
Maybe literally too, though that’s not addressed in the article 
Regency U has family values? And all this time I thought it was a Fascist Christian school (or is that Christian Fascist school) of indoctrination.
Silly me…

Maureen looks happy and Johnny Williams is trying to smile after his pocket has been picked.
Why not? So’s her defense.
This woman is so shameless. Its like watching a movie character, and saying, “that’s totally unrealistic.”
But this bitch actually exists.
