Caught in an FBI sting taking a $15,000 payment from an unnamed developer Friday, Mr. Johnson later told his wife by telephone not to answer the door when two FBI agents came to their home, authorities said.
The county executive, a Democrat who was previously the county's top prosecutor, then told his wife, Leslie Johnson, to tear up a $100,000 check from the developer and stash tens of thousands of dollars in cash in her bra, authorities said in charging documents.
"Tear it up! That is the only thing you have to do," Mr. Johnson told his wife, referring to the check, according to prosecutors.
Asked by his wife about "cash down in the basement," the documents say Mr. Johnson replied, "Put it in your bra and walk out or something, I don't know what to do."
Later, Mr. Johnson told his wife to flush the check down the toilet, according to documents.
"Yes, flush that," he said.
FBI agents, in a search of Mrs. Johnson, recovered $79,600 in cash from her underwear, officials said.

Like I always said;
"Maryland has the best politicians money can buy".
First Maryland Senator Ulysses Currie is charged with 17 counts of bribery involving zoning cases for Shoppers Food Warehouse - supermarket chain, now PG County Executive is charged with the same thing.
Is there a common thread?
Another democrat bites the dust!! LOL
i like how they dont mention that hes a democrat until the 14th paragraph of the story. had it been a republican, it wouldve been in the title and mentioned several times thoughout the story.
I'm sure the repukes are just as bad. Just happens to be a demon that got caught THIS time.
How many others have gotten away with it?

It's amazing how the lid was kept on this until after the elections. He's been under investigation since 2006 and his phone has been monitored since last January.
