A law firm in Boston is the subject of much scrutiny this week as both the Boston Globe and the Center for Responsive Politics have embarked on an in-depth investigation into the company’s political donations program.
How it worked is very simple. The lawyers that worked for the firm and their spouses would given donations to Democrat-only candidates and Democrat-funded initiatives and movements. In return, sometimes as fast as the following morning, those donors would receive a bonus. Meanwhile, the firm would write off the donations and the Democrat would benefit from the money-laundering scheme.
The law firm itself is a relatively small company, being ranked below the top 100 largest in Massachusetts alone, yet it accounts for the 11th most prolific donor firm in the United States.
Thornton Law Firm is responsible for donating literally millions of dollars to multiple Democrat coffers, including Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Democratic politicians and organizations have already returned over a million dollars so far. Caught up in the mess as well is Senator Al Franken, who won his 2008 election against Republican Norm Coleman by a razor-thin edge of only 312 votes. That election was rife with shouts of election fraud which were largely overlooked by the mainstream media at a time when Barack Obama was making headlines as the nation’s first Black president. In addition, Rod Blagojevich, governor of Illinois at the time, was making headlines as well in reference to the Pay-For-Play scheme he had initiated over the empty senator’s seat left vacant by Obama.
In his 2014 reelection, the Thornton Law Firm also heavily donated to Franken to ward off any potential challenger. Franken pulled in big money from both lawyers and their spouses in that election cycle.
While Franken was a more well-known name there in Boston, that didn’t stop unknowns to Bean Town from visiting to cash-in on one of the most reliable sources of Democrat donations known within small political circles.
The list of Democrats that visited this small Law Firm, which made its name on asbestos-lawsuit-related cases over many years, was impressive.
I certainly don’t hear any democrats demanding investigations into Franken’s fuckery!
Remember when the model of virtue, Al Franken, was “elected” after 94 recounts, it was found out that he hadn’t paid taxes owed during his travels to 17 different States, over $70,000.00. No one cares, double standard, count votes until you are ahead, then quit, don’t pay taxes, now another mess. If that was a repub the long knives would be out, and, unfortunately the repub would have the ethics to quit, not funny boy Franken, no class, no shame.
This guy is a disgusting liar. He twists everything.
F— you assholes
Wow! So they think if they return the money all will be ok. Big question, why did they that the money in the first place? And how much did they take that we don’t know about? And why is this law firm not being prosecuted for funneling all this money to Democrats only? Think it’s time for a “Special Prosecutor” to investigate and possibly bring charges against all involved whether they gave money back or not. It just reeks of bribery and corruption to the highest level. It’s time for Term Limits and Legislators to be held responsible for their actions.
Love the honesty of our politicians…
Funny money
P.o.s.
So why did they have the extra money?
This is stupidity on steriods in Congress by fraud
