A Regency Drama 0
Is it going to be a Regency courtroom drama?
“Apparently, the U.S. government has given Star Scientific a free pass for unspecified misdeeds in return for the testimony of Jonnie Williams,” Rich Galen, McDonnell’s recently-hired private spokesperson, wrote in a statement to The Virginian-Pilot on Saturday. “Governor Bob McDonnell has had an 37-year unblemished record of military and civilian government service. Jonnie Williams has been in trouble with government entities since the earliest days of his business career.”
Last week, The Richmonder wondered whether Jonnie Williams, he of the magickal nicotine pills, had rolled on The Regent.
Looks like he may have been onto something there.
It’s sort of like Wall Street: It’s only insider trading if you get caught.
