DNC Donations Scandal May Go Beyond Boston Law Firm | Fox Business

The Democratic National Committee, already engulfed by the WikiLeaks Donna Brazile scandal, is again on the defense Wednesday as some Democratic Senate candidates in tight races scramble to return thousands of dollars in campaign donations following allegations of a massive straw-donor scandal, which Republicans say may be wider than initial reports.

A straw donor is a person who illegally uses someone else’s money to make contributions under his own name. In this case, according to Novak, the partners at Massachusetts-based Thornton Law Firm were using the company’s money to make donations under their own individual names. Campaign finance rules prohibit entities like Thornton from giving more than $2,700 to any singular candidate, but the use of straw donors allows the firms to illegally circumvent this rule.

Does the DNC do anything by the rules?

Good Lord. Stop bragging about how much money you've raised if you're doing it through illegal means.

Oh, and the FBI is all up in the Clinton Foundation for this same nonsense.

Hillary is the perhaps the largest money launderer on the planet.
