The following is the transcript of a voicemail that Paul Reagan, Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s chief of staff, left on Democrat Phillip A. Puckett’s cell phone in the days leading up to Puckett’s resignation from the state Senate in June:


“Hey Senator. This is Paul Reagan again. I just wanted to bounce one idea off you. I know there was a lot of frustration with your daughter, not, you know, getting a judgeship or something. if there’s something that we can do for her, I mean, you know, we have a couple of big agencies here that we still need agency heads. We could potentially, potentially, subject to approval of the governor and so forth, you know, the department of mines, minerals and energy could be available. So we would be very eager to accommodate her, if, if that would be helpful in keeping you in the senate. We, we would basically do anything. We just need you really, we need you for the rest of your term and beyond, but in the immediate future, we need you to help us get this Medicaid deal through and I think we’ve got a way to do it. So anyway, please let’s keep all this confidential. Call me 703-850-----. Thank you sir. Bye.”

Meh, American Idol/Survivor/NFL is on.

They're now claiming he wasn't Chief of Staff, he was "acting on his own" as an independent contractor.

OK.

Bring charges against "independent contractor" and offer reduced sentence if he will testify about the details of coordination with McAuliffe.


...chance that will happen?

[error, divide by zero]

Find me a high level politician that isn't.

What really made my stomach cringe for a sec was knowing no Libs will see a problem with it - or at least corruption is in both parties.  They will still rant about Repubs.

How can people be so stupid?  Are they really stupid?  Or just evil?  Or stubborn when proven wrong?

WAR ON WOMEN!

Politicians and back door deals to help each other out? Coming up next on Netflix's House of Cards.

I am holding my breath waiting for the department of justice to start investigating.  Any minute now it will be on cnn.

Yep!! LOL!!!

Most of us who didnt vote for him (or him by proxy) already knew he was corrupt. I'll be surprised if he finishes his term.

Meh, those types of goings on are as old as Virginia politics.....Even pre-Revolution.

The difference was it was done FTF. Appointed agency heads are seldom the best person for the job.

He will finish his term I doubt anyone will remove a corrupt Democrat. Republican, yes, the media would destroy him. D, no.

Yea point taken.

In one sense at least, there is a perverse logic to McAuliffe’s tenure. If, as they routinely tell pollsters, American voters believe all of their politicians to be intractably corrupt, there is a refreshing honesty in their wishing to elect those who are the most upfront about their flaws.

meh, in 2 more years, Billary will have a cabinet position for him anyway.  we all knew this.

True, but it truly scares me as to the piece of shit Va will elect after him. Mcaullife has all the makings to be far worse than even little Timmay.

LOL............the last Gov should have been charged when he was in office.............lol.........his lawyers got him a deal and got the feds to wait until he left office.............ha ha ha.............
