Federal prosecutors announced Friday that they will not attempt to retry former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, on corruption charges. Prosecutors filed one-paragraph documents telling a federal appeals court they would move to dismiss the indictments. The McDonnells who have steadfastly maintained their innocence, will avoid criminal convictions and prison time.
In a statement, Robert McDonnell said the “final day of vindication has arrived….I have become grateful for this experience of suffering, having used it to examine deeply all aspects of my life, and my role in the circumstances that led to this painful time for my beloved family and Commonwealth.” He also added that his “wrongful convictions were based on a false narrative and incorrect law.”

Looks to me, the McDonnels’ share the same type of protection the Clintons’ do in Washington!
Um, the McDonnel’s commited no crime but were hounded by unscrupulous democrats. The Clintons ARE unscrupulous criminals.
NO similarities.
None.
