Barak Cohen was quoted in The Wall Street Journal article, "Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Wife Set for Corruption Trial," regarding the trial of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife for alleged public corruption offenses. Cohen, a longtime prosecutor of federal corruption cases, said the looseness of the rules and the lack of a clear "quo" in any "quid pro quo" will be key issues. "I could see a jury walking away and saying, 'Where's the beef?'" said Mr. Cohen, who is now in private practice. "But I could also see people saying, 'This is awful' and choosing to convict."
