19. Wire Fraud
Thu Sep 4, 2014, 03:16 PM
Sep 2014

I knew that he was going down when they proved that he lied on his loan application. That is loan fraud and once he received the money via a check or wire it became wire fraud. The next guy to go down is the President of Town Bank in Virginia Beach because he approved some of these loans. As a Virginian I am very sad that a former Governor has disgraced the Commonwealth in such a manor. However it does restore my faith in the Department of Justice ability to prosecute a political case without a hint of partisan politics. McDonnell and his wife get what they deserve and no amount of praying was going to change that.
