But by then the favor has already taken place. Plus, a few days ago when McDonnell said he paid back the gifts I asked what the source of the money McDonnell used was and how does one return used up gifts, such as the wife's $15,000 spending spree.

Since this keeps happening all of the time there is no apparent disincentive for these corrupt acts so it is time to use the criminal code and let the likes of McDonnell face a little time behind bars.
