Foohey! Foleys Plead Guilty, Finger Rowland.

The former Brian Foohey and his wife, Lisa Wilson Foley, entered guilty pleas Monday in federal court to campaign finance violations arising out of their illegal conspiracy with felonious former governor John G. Rowland. Lisa Wilson Foley was an unsuccessful Republican congressional hopeful in 2012. She placed a poor third in the Fifth District Republican primary.

The Foleys, generous donors to Democratic U.S. Senator Christopher Murphy during his rise from the state legislature (he was so fresh and full of new ideas), are said to have turned on Rowland late last year. The investigation was threatening to engulf both of the one-time canoodling Yale MPA students.

The nursing home magnates denied Rowland was working on Lisa Wilson Foley’s congressional campaign—until they no longer did. Read the document setting forth the grimy conspiracy. For $35,000 and third place? A big price to pay.

Lisa Wilson Foley appears not to be crippled by remorse. She’s off to a skiing vacation in Colorado. She follows that with a month in Asia to celebrate the graduation of one of her children.
