Gift acceptance is an abuse of power - The Creightonian: Opinion

Gift acceptance is an abuse of power - The Creightonian: Opinion: "The former governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, is accused of federal corruption while in office. Behind these charges is his wife, Maureen McDonnell. She is the one accused of taking almost $165,000 in loans and luxury goods from Jonnie Williams Sr., who was CEO at the time of Star Scientific.
This scandal brings to light the life of the political spouses. Mrs. McDonnell is not the only spouse to grab the media’s attention with taking bribes or seeking financial help from an individual aiming to gain a favor from her or his husband or wife. Williams received this favor by getting a seat next to the governor at a fundraiser and receiving attention for his newest products."
