Fmr. VA Gov Bob McDonnell's corruption conviction has apparently been thrown out unanimously by the SOTUS this afternoon.

Aplogies if this has been posted elsewhere*

This was sort of expected. While I have no doubt McDonnell is a corrupt scumbag, he was properly convicted.

As a McDonnell voter, I think McDonnell represents everything wrong with politics today and wish his sentence had been upheld. However, since this was unanimous I suppose I can't be mad at the Court. I do hope the General Assembly defines "Official Acts" to include the kinds of crap McDonnell did though. Anyone know if he has been disbarred at least?

I don't see why you are quoting me, this President Johnson fellow doesn't seem to realize that his conviction was overturned by SCOTUS.

In the most obvious decision ever. This was a political prosecution plain and simple. Good on SCOTUS to have such strong integrity.

Bob McDonnell looks like the most stereotypical corrupt politician ever.

Do you mean to say that he was improperly convicted? I assume that is what you meant.
