The defense opened its case in former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s corruption trial Monday, and at least part of the defense strategy seems aimed at a Not Guilty By Reason Of Wife’s Insanity verdict. A staffer for the former state First Lady testified that everyone in the governor’s mansion thought Mrs. McDonnell was “suffering from mental illness,” which presumably will advance the real defense aim of suggesting that she, not the governor, was the one responsible for the couple’s close association with a peddler of diet supplements, and so Bob McDonnell never did a corrupt thing at all. If she’s lost her shit, you must acquit!


“My difficulty in answering the question comes from that I don’t want to just pile on,” she said.


A box of tissues were supplied. “I hope I don’t need these,” she said. And she went on.

“She was very difficult, very demanding, very diva-ish,” Kelly said.



Kelly also said that Mrs. McDonnell’s chief of staff, Mary-Shea Sutherland, often came to her and said that McDonnell had been screaming at staff, but darned if the Washington Post will tell us what she was screaming, or whether it ever involved wire hangers.


About six months into the administration, Kelly said Sutherland came to her saying, “I’m really worried about the first lady. This isn’t normal behavior and I’m concerned – ”

Prosecutors objected, and Kelly initially was not allowed to finish her thought. But she later went on to say, “There were concerns that she was suffering from mental illness.”

1. I read Cuckoo completely wrong.

[Thinkingabout]

2. How in the hell can he say did not know any reason why a Ferrari showed up and he drove the vehicle.

Is he going to be able to pull this off as a dream and he woke up after the ride was over. He either was blind to all the things showing up or he is a much worse manager than one could believe and should have never been in the position of governor and to think he was pushed as presidential candidate. Wow

$36K vacation at Cape Cod and $100K+ for his daughters wedding. Former Commonweath Attorney, District Attorney, Attorney General of the Commonwealth .... and he never asked questions

5. As referenced in his 1998 Master's thesis at Regent University

Thank you Gov. George Allen for the I64 off ramp so Pat, Bob, and (in the future) Monica Goodling wouldn't have to wait to make a u-turn to do God's work.

8. I don't buy what is clearly the Bob McDonnell team's defense strategy

Blame it in the wife? The governor clearly used his office to benefit a company that was giving his family loans and expensive gifts.
