DOJ's war on conservatives

When news broke that conservative Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell had accepted some gifts from a vitamin company executive, the federal government was quick to swoop down and indict the rising star of the Republican Party. McDonnell was originally found guilty of corruption, but the case was ultimately tossed by the Supreme Court, which found that he did no favors on behalf of his friend.

Although the politically-motivated Department of Justice already faced an embarrassing loss on this case, the U.S. attorney wants to put McDonnell on trial again. The DOJ is currently mulling the decision, but it is believed that the government will indeed torment McDonnell and his family with another trial.
