Strange news about Ken Cuccinelli

[Puppycow]

For months, Cuccinelli didn’t know of McDonnell allegations, campaign says

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II’s staff purposely shielded him from allegations of improper behavior by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell for five months last year, knowing the attorney general was friendly with a key donor at the center of those accusations, according to new information released by Cuccinelli’s gubernatorial campaign.

Cuccinelli (R) had stayed at the home of Star Scientific Inc. chief executive Jonnie R. Williams Sr. shortly after he took office in 2010, so Cuccinelli’s deputy “walled off” Cuccinelli from a separate criminal investigation into whether a chef at the governor’s mansion had embezzled food, campaign officials said.

The timeline is significant because Cuccinelli owned stock in Williams’s company and sold some of it at a profit during this time frame.

But according to his campaign officials, Cuccinelli did not know of any issues with Star when he sold the stock.

Sounds fishy. Does any of this make sense? There's more in the article.

Rather than be kept in a news-free bubble, I would think that the Attorney General and candidate to replace the governor would want to be kept apprised of such news.

Something about this is weird.

An attempt by his staff to create plausible deniability?

Wut?

Cuccinelli or his aides are progressives?

I thought this was going to be about Cuccinelli becoming the next sexually obsessed homophobe to be caught with a Rentboy.

Please provide your testable, verifiable evidence for that conspiracy theory.

No, he'd be caught with 13 year old girl. Nothing queer about old Ken!

It drives me crazy when I get a knee jerk "Bush did it too!" rebuttal when I raise any criticism of the Obama administration. You might think you're better than that, but this response shows that your mindset is not all that different from these so-called "progressives".
