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.
This freak is a diaper wearer
PIECE OFSHIT !!!
That big buddy is worth millions as is Woopie and Pelosi and Jerry Brown. Why haven’t the liberals complaints about their wealth?
THE DEMON RATS HAVE NO GOOD PLANS NOR IDEAS FOR WE THE PEOPLE. LIBTARDS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF CREATING GOOD IDEAS. JUST LOOK AT EVERY TOWN, CITY, COUNTY, STATE, COUNTRY UNDER SOCIALIST RULE. THEY ARE ALREADY BROKE OR ARE GOING BROKE. WHERE DO BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS THINK THE MONEY COMES FROM FOR ALL THIER FREE STUFF?? OH YA. STEAL FROM WORKING REPUBLICANS. NO WONDER THE PROGRESSIVE WANT TO BE LEADERS LOST 1500 GOVERNMENT SEATS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. MAYBE IN 5 MORE YEARS THE DEMON RATS WILL BE EXTINCT.

Partially correct. They don’t stand for anything that they share other that hate Trump garbage. But they do have policies and agendas, open borders, globalism, illegal immigration, Pledge of Alliance out of schools, Prayer out of Schools unless it’s other religions, hate white men, think half the country is deplorable, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, racists, transgender bathrooms, tons of social programs supported primarily by tax payers, minimal military, heavy regulations, stifling of Freedom of Speech, attacks against our 2nd Amendment rights, political correctness, Identity Politics, Sanctuary Cites, BLM…etc. And least we forget they don’t believe in democracy. They proved that on November 8, 2016 when they refused to accept the election results and proceed to attack the entire voting system in this country, the new administration and the conservative voters.

The dem party died with JFK. They have become the socialist/communist party of America. Hillary says to resist and persist. Kaine wants fighting in the streets. Lynch wants blood in the streets. In 3/16, I saw an ad on moveon. org asking people to join in opposition to candidate Trump. Hate and violence are sanctioned by dems. George Soros who wants globalization is the puppet master of the dems. He is funding Black Lives Matter, anti-Trump riots and other subversive activities. He is involved with the lying media. Please call the DOJ comment line at 1-202-353-1555 and ask for Soros to be arrested for Sedition which is to speak or incite violence against civil order and for Mueller who is Comey’s friend to be fired. Not one vote was changed by Russia. Assange said he did not get his info from the Russians. Every American should see the WikiLeaks info. It exposes the dems for their corruption. The dems have been using the false Russia c**p is an attempt to destroy our democratic republic. People better wake up. Our freedoms are at stake.
Ooopppssyyy.
Franken you are a disgrace to America
Another crooked democrat. And the beat goes on.
