Something big may be brewing in Loudoun County. Here’s the tease from the Northern Virginia Daily:
The prosecutor who began the investigation of former Republican state Senate candidate Mark D. Tate leaked grand jury information to the media and was actively pushing negative stories about Tate, a former reporter on the story said under oath Thursday.
Tate, of Loudoun County, challenged fellow Republican Jill Holtzman Vogel for the chance to win the senate seat being vacated by Sen. H. Russell Potts, Jr., of Winchester. He was indicted by a Loudoun County Grand Jury on nine counts of perjury and two counts of election fraud just three weeks before the Republican primary.
Lawyers for Tate have said from the beginning that the prosecution was an unprecedented political maneuver designed to knock Tate out of the Senate race.
The full story will appear tomorrow…and it looks like a barn-burner.
