Maureen McDonnell Predicted Jail

Six months before Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and his wife Maureen were charged with public corruption, the Washington Post reports the first lady made a stark prediction to her manicurist: “Her husband would go to jail, she said, and it would all be her fault.”

“In December, prosecutors offered to let the former governor plead guilty to just one count of lying to a bank. Maureen McDonnell would avoid charges entirely. He flatly declined, refusing to plead guilty to a crime he has said he did not commit… Maureen McDonnell has told friends and supporters that he declined the deal without consulting her.”
