The trial is going badly for Bob "It's my wife's fault" McDonnell today.

From the WAPO live blog. It is very long, so it you don't have time to read it, just scroll down and look at the headlines.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/liveblog-live/liveblog/updates-day-22-of-the-mcdonnell-corruption-trial/?wpisrc=nl_buzz&wpmm=1

Here's sample of headlines from today:

One gift scrapped, another left on

McDonnell's testimony on stock differs from daughter's

'If u need cash, let me know'

'Tell me who to make the check out to'

Prosecutor pokes holes in McDonnell's explanations

Using Hannity interview against governor

Driving the Ferrari wasn't a 'favor,' it was 'simply helping'

I read what is simiar to a trial transcript at your link, and I can smell a lie in every response McDonnell gave to the DA.

Didn't he get swept up in the Zimmerman trial too? He defended Zimmerman, but Hannity's interview hurt Zimmerman's case, iirc.

Do grooms these days really need to spend $10k on a bachelor party? What happened to going to the local bar for a cold pitcher of beer?
