Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe under federal investigation
2016-05-24
[CNN] Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department's public integrity unit, U.S. officials briefed on the probe say.

The investigation dates to at least last year and has focused, at least in part, on whether donations to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law, the officials said.

McAuliffe wasn't notified by Sherlocks that he is a target of the probe, according to the officials.

"The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it," said Marc Elias, attorney for McAuliffe campaign, in a statement to CNN.

As part of the probe, the officials said, Sherlocks have scrutinized McAuliffe's time as a board member of the Clinton Global Initiative, a vehicle of the charitable foundation set up by former President Bill Clinton

You mean like a blue state?

#3  This is getting embarrassing. McAuliffe is the second Va. Governor in a row to be investigated. We're beginning to look like Illinois.

#2  This smells like trouble for ole Terry. It appears that arrogance led to over reach. A former official in the Chinese Commie government with a green card is interesting...same guy appearing to funnel millions to the Clintons and six figures to ole Terry won't pass the smell test green card exemption or no. Our laws were specifically designed to prevent foreign governments and officials from influencing our elections...and through intentional circumventing of our laws - this is exactly what happened. I hope it is true the prosecutors are involved and get to do what they do so well...prosecute.
