BREAKING: Clinton Campaign Has To Return Donations Connected To Illegal Straw Donor Scheme

[Weatherman2020]

Crooked Hillary.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is returning thousands of dollars in donations linked to what may be one of the largest straw-donor schemes ever uncovered.

A small law firm that has given money to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Harry Reid, President Obama and many others is accused of improperly funneling millions of dollars into Democratic Party coffers. The program was exposed by the Center for Responsive Politics and the same team of Boston Globe investigative reporters featured in the movie “Spotlight.”

The Thornton Law Firm has just 10 partners, but dollar for dollar, it’s one of the nation’s biggest political donors, reports CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil.

But according to the firm’s own documents – leaked by a whistleblower — days or even hours after making these donations, partners received bonuses matching the amount they gave.

LOL! The hits keep coming...Couldn't happen to a better person!

So? None of the political campaigns have done anything illegal. The law firm that made the donations amay have done something illegal, but not the campaigns that they contributed to.

So? None of the political campaigns have done anything illegal. The law firm that made the donations amay have done something illegal, but not the campaigns that they contributed to.

"Federal law limits partnerships, like the Thornton Law Firm, to a maximum donation of $2,700 per candidate. But campaign finance watchdogs say the firm used its individual partners as straw donors, allowing it to funnel money to campaigns well above that legal limit.

“Straw donor reimbursement systems are something both the FEC and the Department of Justice take very seriously, and people have gone to jail for this,” Center for Responsive Politics editorial director Viveca Novak said."

“Once the law firm knew that we had these records, they didn’t deny that this was the case,” said Scott Allen, Boston Globe’s Spotlight editor.

“If you give a donation and then somebody else reimburses you for that contribution, that is a clear violation of the spirit and the letter of the law at the state and federal levels,” Allen added.

Two questions.

1. How was Clinton colluding with this Boston law firm?

2. Do you believe corporations should be allowed to make unlimited political donations?

2. Irrelevant. Illegal is illegal...

Where the hell did I blame Hillary? She did accept illegal money, but she is not the problem here... but her supporters.

It's not surprising that the criminals would try to donate more than is allowed, that's what they do. The Hillary supporters...

Elizabeth Warren didn't even return the money, because she is idiotic enough to believe it's all legal.

This is obviously wrong and unlawful.....But the fact remains that BOTH sides do it and the Election Committee is asleep....For example, I remember this from 2012

Dinesh D’Souza, a best-selling conservative author and filmmaker, was indicted on Thursday on charges that he used straw donors to illegally donate to a 2012 Senate campaign.

Mr. D’Souza is an outspoken political commentator who directed “2016: Obama’s America,” a scathing anti-Obama documentary released in the final months of the president’s re-election campaign.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said that Mr. D’Souza encouraged others to give $20,000 to a Senate candidate and reimbursed them for the donations. Election law prohibits such arrangements and caps donations at $5,000 per donor to any one candidate.
