Busted! Limbaugh Sponsor Behind VA Governor's Corruption Case
by ProgLegs


McDonnell and his wife were indicted Tuesday on charges that they accepted gifts worth more than $135,000 from a political donor.

That donor was Jonnie R. Williams, founder and former CEO of Star Scientific, a Virginia-based nutritional supplement company. Williams resigned last month in the face of the federal investigation as well as shareholder lawsuits alleging "trumped up claims" for Star's anti-inflammatory dietary supplement Anatabloc.



Anatabloc has been a very regular advertiser on the Rush Limbaugh Show since Flush Rush activists first heard their ads in July, 2012.

Details from the indictment paint a vivid picture of a scheme to use the power of the governorship for financial gain:

...from in or about April 2011 through in or about March 2013, the defendants participated in a scheme to use ROBERT MCDONNELL'S official position as the Governor of Virginia to enrich the defendants and their family members by soliciting and obtaining payments, loans, gifts, and other things of value from JW and Star Scientific in exchange for ROBERT MCDONNELL and the OGV performing official actions on an as-needed basis.
