Virginia’s ‘Gov. Ultrasound’ facing possible criminal charges

Virginia’s scandal-mired Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell may be facing criminal charges over gifts and loans from a wealthy donor. According to the Washington Post, three people connected to the federal investigation of the alleged crimes confirmed that the donor — Johnnie Williams Sr. of dietary supplement company Star Scientific — has been cooperating with authorities, a sign that a federal case against the governor may be in the offing.

McDonnell — who has been nicknamed “Gov. Ultrasound” by some critics because of his role in implementing mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasound exams for women seeking abortions — is accused of a wide range of corrupt practices involving loans and gifts from Williams, who hoped to have one of his company’s products included on the list of medicines covered by the state Medicare program.

To this end, Williams reportedly bought the conservative Christian governor a $6,500 Rolex watch, took his wife on a $15,000 New York City shopping spree and paid another $15,000 for the catering at the McDonnells’ daughter’s wedding. The CEO also allegedly paid for McDonnell family trips and loaned the governor his black Ferrari to drive on vacation.

1. Ha, looks like the governor should have been showering gifts but must have only been in the

Receiving line. Great for family values, he and his are great examples what not to do in front of children. Just think this guy was considered for vice president.

4. Sounds to me like Gov. Ultrasound

Has been showering in the sewer. He stinks to high heaven.

Still, McDonnell recently apologized for breaching the public’s trust and said he had repaid money he received from Williams, along with interest. Last week, he said he was working to return all of Williams’s gifts to his family.

He lost all credibility when did this.

State “At Risk”
Virginia

Why we’re watching: Politicians in Virginia are mimicking the anti-women’s health agenda of their pals in the U.S. House across the Potomac, working to pass legislation that would slash health care for women, while attempting to give full legal rights to fertilized eggs. And in a complete example of government overreach, Governor Bob McDonnell recently signed a bill that will force health care providers to use an ultrasound for political — and not medical — reasons. With the recent off-year election of an anti-women’s health majority in the state Senate, anti-choice politicians now control the top three statewide offices, the House of Delegates, the state Senate, and the executive branch.
