Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen will not be retried for corruption and fraud charges, after Department of Justice prosecutors moved this afternoon to dismiss the indictment.

This comes after the Supreme Court voted unanimously to vacate McDonnell’s corruption conviction this June.

In 2014, the former governor was found guilty on 11 corruption and fraud counts, and his wife on eight corruption counts and one obstruction of justice count, all stemming from $175,000-worth of presents they received from Richmond businessman Jonnie Williams, who sold dietary supplements. The gifts included lavish vacations, an engraved Rolex, designer clothes, and thousands of dollars in loans, allegedly in exchange for political favors.

McDonnell was sentenced by a federal judge to two years in prison in January 2015, but he appealed.

While Chief Justice John Roberts called McDonnell’s actions “distasteful” and “tawdry,” he said that the case really boiled down to what constitutes an “official act.” McDonnell’s favors for Williams, like setting up meetings, calling other public officials, or hosting an event, did not qualify in the eyes of the court.

“We are now seeing that the Supreme Court’s decision will in fact result in corrupt conduct going unpunished, just as we feared it would,” said Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Executive Director Noah Bookbinder in a statement. “It is our hope that [the Justice Department does] not pass on prosecution next time, because rest assured, there will be a next time.”

Here’s a guess about how McDonnell, once a promising political star with ambitions of higher office, feels this afternoon:

The Department of Justice is also unlikely to initiate criminal proceedings against current Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe for donations to his gubernatorial campaign. According to The Washington Post, prosecutors are divided about the intent behind the law that they’re using to investigate him.
