Why do I keep thinking about Florida's Pam Bondi's donations from a certain real estate mogul???

BREAKING: A Boston law firm may have broken the law, and a retard attempts to blame Hillary.

Up next: An earthquake hits Italy and a retard says, "I blame Hillary."

Where the hell did I blame Hillary?

Playing innocent now, eh?

Sorry, but your topic title exposes your hackery. As does this:

It will be an amazing victory for justice when she is finally put to jail.

You clearly were trying to convey Hillary was complicit.

So prove it, or STFU.

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.

“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.

It does not seem to be possible for these guys to not act scandalously every day.

It's called money laundering. Very big in criminal circles.

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.

What remains to be seen is how many of these folks will be prosecuted. Every one of these lawyers should be immediately disbarred.

I FULLY agree......and, if proven in a court...disbarment is not enough; jail time is the best way to curtail the abuses. We have enough other crap to worry about.

Gee, even MORE corruption from the Clinton Crime Syndicate. What a surprise.

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?

None will be. The Obama Injustice Department is PART of the corruption, they sure aren't going to uphold the law. Until Trump puts in a new AG who does a clean sweep of the utterly corrupt DOJ, no honest law enforcement will occur.

Yep, but since, according to the OP, they've already admitted culpability, disbarment could happen without a trial. The DOJ should go after them and the person or people that paid them as well. And there damn sure shouldn't be any deals for the lawyers.

I am sure then that you "admire" Obama's willingness to appoint as director of the FBI a staunch republican. Correct???

Guno;

1. It will be impossible to prove collusion. Particularly since the Obama DOJ will never investigate.
2. Current law prohibits it. Corporations that are connected to the party should start being subject to the law, though this distresses those like you who revel in corruption.

The corrupt Obama DOJ will never investigate, as you full well know.

With FACTS in front of their face, they continue to attack, deny, and divert.

“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.



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.

an honest democrat is a contradiction in terms

I admire almost nothing from Obama. Comey was put in place because it was expected that he would "cooperate," which he did until last week.

 

[nat4900]

As the report states that crooked law firm did not just funnel donations to democrats....(go back and listen) Sooooooo, the law firm is crooked and to blame just democrats is confirming your on-going stupidity and biases....but, that's always expected from you dimwits.
