Stench

Find out how Cooch took $55,000 from the disgraced "U.S. Navy Veterans Association," in apparent exchange for his promise to get the Virginia Office of Consumer Affairs (which had "notified Thompson's group that it no longer qualified for an exemption from state registration requirements") off the group's back. Can we say "pay-to-play?" Find out more.

The Continuing Chronicle of Ken Cuccinelli's Corruption

by: lowkell

Sun Aug 08, 2010 at 11:15:41 AM EDT


For a minute, let's forget about Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's radical, ultra-right-wing agenda. Instead, let's focus on something that crosses party lines - corruption. The question is whether Cuccinelli is Virginia's Rod Blagojevich, as in: bribery, public corruption, and wire fraud ("any criminally fraudulent activity that has been determined to have involved electronic communications of any kind, at any phase of the event").  Given that a number of states are already investigating the "U.S. Navy Veterans Association" scam, and given that Senator Webb has asked the IRS to investigate this situation, at some point somebody's going to start talking to the feds. At that point, they're going to be looking at a possible plea bargain: reduced sentence for the "small fry" in exchange for evidence against public officials like our most excellent Attorney General. Until that time comes, we will keep you updated on the latest developments in the case, and more broadly into the corruption "stench" that is Ken Cuccinelli.

Cooch - Law School (0.00 / 0)
I know Cooch went to George Mason for law school, but I wonder if the axe he is grinding with UVA and Michael Mann is related to him NOT getting accepted to UVA Law School?  I don't know if he even applied but I find it hard to believe he spent four years in Charlottesville for undergrad and didn't want to attend UVA's prestigious law school.  I know that sounds childish, but it could explain his vendetta.
