Maureen McDonnell, the first lady of Virginia, twice purchased thousands of shares of stock in Star Scientific, a spokesman for McDonnell’s legal team confirmed Friday night. The stock was bought and held in the same time frame that she and Gov. Robert F. McDonnell were taking steps to promote the dietary supplement company.
Spokesman Rich Galen said the first lady did not inform the governor either time she purchased stock, which Galen said she bought for herself and her children.
Yea, right. So she buys $30,000 worth of stock in a company she and her husband are promoting to the state an elsewhere and she doesn’t tell him? I call BULLSHIT on that one. She’s so poor she can’t buy an acceptable wardrobe as first lady, yet she had $30k to dump in stocks? (stocks that just happen to be shares in a company they are promoting.)
