Amid rumors that prominent Broward attorney Scott Rothstein has returned to town and may try to go to his law firm, Fort Lauderdale police on Tuesday surrounded his firm's building at 401 E. Las Olas Blvd.
On Monday, the politically influential firm attempted to oust Rothstein amid a criminal investigation into his business dealings.
The investigation into Rothstein, a major fundraiser for Gov. Charlie Crist, Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink and other major politicians has left candidates in the lurch and the law firm reeling. The firm -- Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler -- was a top sponsor of a Fort Lauderdale golf benefit Friday chaired by former Gov. Jeb Bush.

Looks like BIG TROUBLE For CRIST!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a Facebook account, and are so inclined, please post a question on Charlie Crist’s page....Who was behind the Hitler/Crist video and who is behind truthaboutrubio.com. It appears one of Crist’s political operatives is behind them both. Check out Red State for more info.
I’m behind the times. Don’t have a Facebook or Twitter acount.
Rothstein raised money for McCain too. He seems to have raised money for both parties.
most law firms play both sides of the isle.
Ask which judges this person worked on.
I’m a Rubio supporter but this probably won’t rub off on Crist. Rothstein supports virtually all politicians, and even hired prominent Democrat Ken Jenne after he was released from prison. If Crist is smart (you and I might not like him but he isn’t stupid) he’ll return any money that came from Rothstein.
Twitter is the fastest way to get breaking news. It’s on there before it’s on anywhere else.
Big Supporters always hedge their bets.
The investigation will open up a huge can of worms for Crist..
nonsense.
It is wishful thinking to believe this.
From what I see, the remaining partners have taken corrective action and have done the right thing.
Get One!
Any pooh that is thrown and hits Crist and sticks is a good thing.
Go Rubio.
“The investigation into Rothstein, a major fundraiser for Gov. Charlie Crist”
YES!
I did not post this because I believed the remaining partners are at fault. I posted because of the Crist connection.

I read about that the other day. What an ametuer attempt to smear Rubio.
Hopefully jailbird Jenne will be unemployed again. Any law firm that hires a jailbird like that is a scum outfit. Kind of an oxymorn for most lawfirms.
I imagine lots of politicians are trying to distance themselves from him about now.
I don't call, not keeping up with the Jones behind the times. A man must have time somewhere now and then to take a du***.
Is that the case, are is this some left land forum where you are guilty without a trial.
