And one day the men who freed him will return and he will jump all over them and lick them in a tearful reunion.

Very sad. The Republican elites look after their own. I am sure that Bob McDonnell will walk free pretty soon.

They are challenging the courts interpretation of ā€˜official actsā€™ and how that was applied in his trial, I believe. The Appeals court thinks there is a legitimate question of law in that regard. Itā€™s not terribly uncommon in white collar crime to remain free pending appeal. Horribly unfair in some cases, but not terribly uncommon.

EDIT: Question of law does not mean that they think McDonnellā€™s interpretation is correct, just that it likely should be reviewed.

Of course the court ruled this way, the law is only really meant to apply to the little people.

Thatā€™s the thing about XianInanity

Jesus died for Bobā€™s sins

So why does he need to put himself out for a ā€˜non-lethalā€™ infraction of the rulesā€¦

It was Maureenā€™s fault anywayā€¦

Well nowā€¦

You make me laugh. I so wish the link to ā€œBrownback Girlā€ (who was a dude) from the 2008 election still worked. The Church Lady on steroids.

Heā€™ll never serve a day in jail, write a book and reap millions, marry a trophy wife after unloading the (alleged) harridan and generally come out of this smelling like a rose. Crime pays, donā€™t let anyone tell you otherwise. You just have to commit your crime on the big stage, for big bucks.
