The full story of this next D.C. scandal might not reach the attention of the national media so we are highlighting it.
Thornton Law Firm have been top donors to the Franken campaign committee and they are under investigation by the FEC and the Boston U.S. Attorneys office.
Franken returned the money as federal regulators are investigating the firm for linking employee bonuses to campaign contributions.

Not sure why that would be a problem.
Their job is to raise money.

Thornton Law Firm have been top donors to the Franken campaign committee and they are under investigation by the FEC and the Boston U.S. Attorneys office. I demand Frankens resignation and a special prosecutor to look into all other of Frankens donors. Afterall, there is more concrete evidence here tying Franken to a corrupt lawfirm violating FEC rules than there is to Trump and Russia. Where there is smoke there is fire. If Franken took contributions from one corrupt source, he must have taken them from others. LEt the investigations commence !!!

Hillary Clinton, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, former Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have all returned donations to employees of Thornton in recent months.

And these ‘donations’ were BRIBES. PIG PHARMA has a lot of them on the hook. Both parties. As well as PIG big Health INS.

Now, if they would also return all the bags of ‘found’ ballots that ‘gave’ the Creepozoid Franken his Senate win. I know, I know, fat chance. The democRATS steal election after election. No wonder our country is in dire straights.
