...It never ends....
Boston law firm under federal grand jury probe for $3.4M straw-donor scheme for Dems
"If the grand jury indicts the firm and its lawyers, Thornton could be the biggest so-called “straw donor” case ever brought nationwide. Between 2010 and 2014 alone, lawyers for the firm, which specializes in asbestos cases, donated $3.4 million to candidates and the Democratic Party, especially to Senate candidates who opposed overhauling the asbestos litigation system."
"Democrats have shed their Thornton Law donations, including an all-star list of the Party Of The Little Guy: Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Patrick Murphy, who lost his Senate race against Marco Rubio shortly after this story broke. But the biggest hit may be felt in 2018, the Globe reports. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has already returned $267,000 in Thornton Law donations, but the Globe found that the DSCC had received $1.5 million from the firm’s attorneys over the last decade. That will sting when it comes time to defend 10 Trump states in the next midterms, as will the loss of a major donor down the line, too."
Yup, they started giving the money back....once the scandal was revealed.
