white water. kwame kilpatrick. i was going to say, they re in a lot of trouble. the mcdonnells are in a lot of trouble. also in virginia, there are term limits, so it s an argument, maybe, against term lumpts. if you have to run for another campaign, you re going to watch yourself, but they were in, one and done. 94 years. i thinkthere s temptation. as much as i think we should have term limits, this might be a little too short. your lip is quivering. i think virginia is the last state with one term, and they ought to rethink that. kentucky was the last one before that. when you look at states with one terms, there s more corruption. agreed. got to get it all into four years. that s right. can we point out, this is a federal indictment, so it s kind of unusual to come from the feds rather than within the state. can i say something really quick? i said the governor of kentucky, why do you only have four-year terms in the state? he said, son, if you couldn t
virginia. part of mcdonnells defense quoits the access report that tim keene received more than $186,000 in gifts and travel since 2001, including washington redskins tickets, cases of wine, and an $18,000 caribbean vacation. his attorneys note unlike mcdonnell, kane, now a senator, has never been falsely accused of committing a federal crime. mcdonnell s lawyers argue it s assessme accepted for a virginia politician to accept gifts. and that does not mean corruption. they re expected in court on friday. we ll follow this case, and you can read the full indictment against the mcdonnells on our home page at foxnews.com. you can forget about any privacy if you go to the olympics in russia next month. we ll show you exactly what we mean. and a teacher who repeatedly viewed and sent porn on school computers goes back to school with the court s blessing. the grapevine is next.
i repeat emphatically that i did nothing illegal for mr. williams in exchange for what i believe was his personal friendship and his generosity. sometimes that sort of friendship can get into real trouble as former virginia governor bob mcdonnell and his wife maureen are learning the hard way. they are facing a 14-count federal indictment for accepting pricey vacations, luxury goods and large loans in returns for special treatment. the governor at mitts to taking the gifts but said they were loans repaid in full and with interest. the other key player is johnny williams sr., the dietary supplementary exec who gave the gifts hoping for favors in return. remember, this is a federal indictment against the mcdonnells. they did not break any laws in the state of virginia. one recent survey shows 90% of respondents want tougher campaign finance laws.
governor of connecticut, semi-similar situation, he ended up, greenwich had tough ethics laws, but virginia, no state laws that he violated, correct? well, that s right. these are all federal charges. all federal charges. johnny williams, why hasn t he indi indicted? he has immunity. he s giving them the paper trail. he s clearly important, not the only one, but clearly an important witness for the prosecution. so he s not been indicted and he has immunity from prosecution. but what the mcdonnells lawyer say is, if you take the government s theory in this case to its extreme, then when president obama went to dreamworks and said, nice things about dreamworks and jeffrey katzenberg and the other people, he was lending the prestige of the presidency to a big campaign donor. they say, look at people who get ambassadorships after giving lots of campaign contributions. what is worse, though,
it s a culmination of a years-long investigation, centering on the relationship between the mcdonnells and this man, johnny r. williams sr., who is the ceo of a dietary supplement company called star scientific. the basics of the allegations are this. that williams gave the governor and his wife more than $140,000 in gifts in exchange for concrete actions by both the governor and his wife to promote star scientific. in fact, the list of cash and gifts, as stated in today s indictment, includes $140,850 including multiple cash payments, black louis vuitton shoes, white louis vuitton shoes, a rolex watch engraved with 71st governor of virginia, a blew armani jacket and two dresses. one pair of emilio rose earrings, two sets of golf clubs and two iphones. i m reading you only part of the long list of gifts alleged in this complaint. by the time the scandal had reached its apex in 2013, governor mcdonnell issued a statement, apologizing, while
