Former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell (R) “fired the opening salvo in a bid to get his public corruption conviction thrown out, arguing in a filing that the case against him was ‘built on a boundless definition of bribery,'” the Washington Post reports.
“There is some indication he could find success there. The appeals court overturned the district judge’s ruling that McDonnell report to prison by Feb. 9, allowing the ex-governor to remain free on bond while it takes up the case. It is a signal that the judges think there is an issue worthy of their consideration.”
