[HRC tied to] Boston law firm accused of massive straw-donor scheme

[CBSNews] Hillary Clinton’s campaign is returning thousands of dollars in donations linked to what may be one of the largest straw-donor schemes ever uncovered.

A small law firm that has given money to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Harry Reid, President Obama and many others is accused of improperly funneling millions of dollars into Democratic Party coffers. The program was exposed by the Center for Responsive Politics and the same team of Boston Globe investigative reporters featured in the movie "Spotlight."

The Thornton Law Firm has just 10 partners, but dollar for dollar, it’s one of the nation’s biggest political donors, reports CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil.

But according to the firm’s own documents ‐ leaked by a whistleblower -- days or even hours after making these donations, partners received bonuses matching the amount they gave.

"Once the law firm knew that we had these records, they didn’t deny that this was the case,"
Funny how that works.
said Scott Allen, Boston Globe’s Spotlight editor.
Nice little graphic included showing a few other recipients of the $.

#3 Oficial name - Thornton Law Firm LLP (home page is here), and they're a couple of blocks away from South Station. Basically a bunch of ambulance chasers. I wonder if the Board of Bar Overseers received a complaint yet? Shit like this ought to be an ethical violation.
