Judge: McDonnell lawyers ‘dancing through fantasy land’ [View all]
From Matt Zapotosky, Washington Post
"RICHMOND — A federal judge on Tuesday signaled that he is growing increasingly frustrated with the voluminous and at times rancorous filings by defense attorneys representing former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell (R) and his wife in a corruption case, dismissing one of their recent requests as “dancing through fantasy land” and asking them and prosecutors to limit their written disputes “for the sanctity of the trees.”"

Basically, McDonnell's gripe is that since the government has screwed up other prosecutions, his case should be dropped.
