And he knew darn well that if she won, there was a real good chance she'd be involved in cases in which he was a lawyer. One could question if a trial lawyer should even be allowed to donate for a city's attorney candidate.
Almost every trial lawyer donates to candidates in judicial races.
How would he know that ..?? What type of cases does he handle .. are they all “criminal” ..??
You’re just fixated on making him a scapegoat for your opinion. I’m saying there is a lot of chummy-ness with the liberals .. but how on earth are you planning to stop that ..?? That is how they do business.
“One could question if a trial lawyer should even be allowed to donate for a city’s attorney candidate”
That is a damned good question. The same could (and should) be said about judicial elections. In practice, the majority of donations to prosecutorial and judicial candidates comes from trial attorneys, and it is a huge problem.
Frankly, I think that judicial and prosecutorial elections are the one area where public campaign financing makes sense. Unlike other elected positions, those positions are supposed to be impartial, and are highly sensitive to the appearance of impropriety.
