RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) - Less than two weeks after leaving the governor’s mansion in Richmond, former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife have been indicted in connection to their relationship with political donor Jonnie Williams Sr.

“The former governor was indicted on 13 counts including Honest-Services Wire Fraud, Obtaining Property under Color of Official Right and making False Statement.

“Former First Lady Maureen McDonnell was indicted on similar charges plus Obstruction of Official Proceedings. The McDonnells’ are summoned to appear in court for a bond hearing on Friday, at 10 a.m.”

McDonnell is supposed to give a statement tonight, but from what I’ve read about the investigation, they are toast, if there is any justice at all.

I hope Governor Christie and his entourage are watching this very closely.
