Actually, you might be surpised how a Grand Jury might lean in Northern VA.  While they may on the whole, lean liberal, the grand jury is likely to be made up of people working or supporting the government - and despite what you think, they might have a very conservative thought about these charges. A surprising majority of those (not political appointees and their ilk) have strong feelings about ethics and money laundering.  The ones you hear about as violating ethics are in the minority.  Although a lot of these charges are somewhat confusing and a bit complicated.  And most people in government are convinced that lobbyists are all crooks, becasue they make too much money.
