A
Massachusetts law firm has been accused of funneling funds to the
Democrats through an massive and illegal straw-donor scheme. A growing
number of party politicians are now returning donations from Thornton Law
after it was found that the firm's partners received bonuses that
matched their political donations in what may be one of the largest
schemes ever revealed.
An investigation found that partners donated nearly $1.6 million to mostly Democratic committees and candidates, including Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,
from 2010 through 2014. During that same period, the lawyers received
$1.4 million listed as 'bonuses,' including more than 280 in amounts
that precisely matched their donations.
Some of them were supposedly reimbursed just 10 days after their money was sent to the party.The
small firm, which has 10 partners, reportedly also made donations to
several other top Democrats including President Barack Obama, Sen.
Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Harry Reid, to name a few.
