so says J C Wilmore, who blogs as the Richmonder, in this piece.
Wilmore is well known in Virginia blogging circles. He is also considered very well connected with legal circles in Richmond.
Opening paragraph of the piece:
Multiple sources in Richmond's legal community have confirmed to me that the investigation of Star Scientific by state and federal prosecutors turned up what they feel is sufficient evidence to charge Virginia's Republican Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen with one or more felonies and in consequence, McDonnell is attempting to negotiate his resignation in exchange for no prosecution of Virginia's first couple.
Also note this:
The irony is palpable--accused of influence peddling, the McDonnells are attempting to barter their way to freedom with the very office they are accused of having used to solicit gifts from Jonnie Williams and Star Scientific.
Take time to explore the entire piece, which is full of good stuff.
One observation - some people thought Bill Bolling should run as an independent. Had he not taken himself out of the race, imagine where he could be - if McDonnell does resign, he would have been running as an incumbent governor with no ties to Star Scientific, with Terry McAuliffe having some ethical issues of his own, and he would be well positioned to win a full term.
It is looking ever more likely that he will get to be Governor for a while.
