The FEC records Mr. Lerach as one of the biggest campaign contributors to Democrats.

Question: Will Hillary et. al. return this admitted felon's money?

I count $911,545, almost all of it to Democrats.

How do we light a fire under this one?

Can we ask the Clinton Campaign whether they are going to spend ill-gotten gains?

the fact that he does not need to cooperate with the prosecution as a condition of the plea.”

What Prosecutor agreed to this condition? Whoever it was needs to be fired and this deal repudiated.

I have always said that. How many CLOSE friends do you have that have committed felonies, have died under mysterious circumstances, or had to plead the 5th?
It seems everyone of their “associates” is in one of those catagories.

“I've been a lawyer since 1970, and I never met a person who did more good for more people than Bill Lerach,” said Ben Stein, the financial commentator and erstwhile actor and game show host. “He genuinely cared about the little people getting screwed.”

I personally have lost ALL respect for Ben Stein with this statement. Bill Lerach has been an absolute crook for years.

Looks like the big money went to the DNC and the DSSC.

Will the Democrat party keep over $750,000 of money that may have been illegally coerced by an admitted felon trial lawyer from small investors?

...Ben Stein?! What are you thinking, man - Lerach is pure evil in my books. He raped and pillaged his way through the U.S. economy and paid off Democrats to keep his piracy legal.
