Virginia Inspector General finds Cucinelli's office broke the law
As you can read in this story, Virginia's state inspector general has found that Ken Cuccinelli's office used taxpayer funds to improperly help two out-of-state energy companies in their fight against Southwest Virginia landowners.
In the report issued Tuesday to the Attorney General's Office, Inspector General Michael F. A. Morehart wrote that the assistant attorney general "inappropriately used commonwealth resources in support" of private litigation fighting class-action lawsuits by landowners who claim the companies cheated them out of tens of millions of dollars in royalty payments for natural gas drilled on their properties.

The revelation has been an embarrassment for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor whose campaign received more than $100,000 from CONSOL Energy, the parent company of CNX. He has said Pigeon was overzealous in defending a state law.
Cuccinelli's folks are making a big deal of the fact that the report cleares him of any prior knowledge, but he has not fired the Assistant AG, nor has he given back the contributions from Consol Energy.
And fwiw, there was never any evidence that Nixon had prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in.
