The FBI and the Justice Department’s public integrity unit are investigating Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s (D) campaign donations, CNN reported Monday.
Citing anonymous U.S. officials briefed on the probe, CNN reported that the investigation is focused on whether donations to McAuliffe’s gubernatorial campaign violated the law. One particular donation that reportedly caught investigators’ eyes was a $120,000 contribution Chinese businessman Wang Wengliang made through his U.S. companies.
Marc Elias, an attorney for the McAuliffe campaign, told the network that “the Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it.”
Spokespeople for the FBI and DOJ declined to comment to CNN about the investigation.
Man, more “Bullshit Ahead” warnings in that sentence than you’ll find in Pampalona on bull running day.
“CNN” + “anonymous U.S. officials briefed on the probe.” Yeah, I’m taking that as gospel.
Perhaps, but it’s not like it would be hard for these fucking twerps to make sure their noses are clean. Shit that raises red flags shouldn’t even exist in the first fucking place, and you have to admit that McAuliffe is a slimy one right out of the box. As much as I’m inclined to agree with your sentiment, I’m also inclined to want to run about giving everyone involved babypowdered pimp slaps for allowing the issue to even exist.
Say it ain’t so! The very engineer of the auction of the soul of the once-great Democratic Party to the highest corporate bidders, Clintonista among Clintonistas, financier for the Big Dog whose legacy will forever be the deregulatory corporate favor he dispensed which crashed the economy and diluted our currency, this icon of neo-liberal values, is now suspected of some campaign donation impropriety? Say it ain’t so!
I’m sure he’s verrrrry sorry about it, won’t let it happen again, will give the money back, and fervently press for “looking forward, not backward.” Mistakes were made.
Say what you want about McAuliffe… He has been a great governor for Virginia (I live there.).
There’s more to this story. Chinese businessman Wang Wengliang also made a large donation to the Clinton Global Initiative through his American owned company!
He he. Getting closer and closer.
