The law firm, Strouss and Bradley, would have employees give the maximum legal donations to Democratic Senate campaigns and then reimburse them their money as "bonuses."

“Clean Dems?” Surely you jest. Feingold is “clean” just like one end of a turd is cleaner than the other!

Can anyone who supports ripping a baby apart in their mother’s womb be clean?

I am no Ayotte fan, but with Hassan forced to return so many of these checks and Trump climbing in NH, she is more likely to make it back to the Senate, and the fewer Dem senators the better for enacting the Trump agenda.

There are no “clean” Dems. They have something on each other. It’s why they stick together like they do.

Dinesh De Souza went to jail for doing this inadvertently. He’s lost the right to vote forever. These guys are lawyers and have no excuse.

Everyone remember our great conservative Dinesh D’Souza?

In January 2014, D’Souza was indicted on charges of making illegal political contributions to a 2012 United States Senate campaign, a felony under U.S. law. On May 20, 2014, D’Souza pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to one charge of using a “straw donor” to make an illegal political campaign donation.

On September 23, D’Souza was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years probation, and a $30,000 fine.
