Russ Feingold's bad week just got a little worse.

A a jaw-dropping expose in the Boston Globe , reports that employees of a prominent Democratic law firm in Boston, had been operating a straw donor scheme to benefit various U.S. Senate campaigns since 2010. 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."

As regards the exposure of Feingold’s corruption where it counts the most, I’m wondering what sort of circulation the Boston Globe has in the state of Wisconsin.

No matter. I’m sure the top media outlets in Milwaukee and Madison will jump all over this (not).

It was a federal “crime” (scare quotes indicate that I would have voted to hold it unconstitutional had I been on SCOTUS, not that that would happen). A President Trump could entirely justifiably (if D’Souza is correct in claiming that his was a selective prosecution) pardon him.

I’d be in favor of looking for a balancing case of a Democrat prosecuted under the same circumstances. It that’s not found, selective prosecution can be argued. If it is found, pardon both of them.

I’m also hopeful that Trump will win a number of working class Milwaukee neighborhoods where people live respectable lives.
