Never let a felony conviction get in the way of the Democrat Party and campaign contributions.
Apparently Bill Lerach, the once high-flying legal eagle who made a fortune bringing security fraud class actions against public companies until imprisoned for paying kickbacks to serial plaintiffs from court-awarded attorneys' fees in the cases, is again shilling for Democrat candidates as reported by The Examiner:
When Lerach finished serving his brief time in the federal pen, he returned to his Cliffside estate in San Diego to enjoy a fortune estimated at $200 million. And as evidenced by the upcoming fundraiser there, he picked up right where he left off as a key cog in the Democratic money machine. But considering that much of Lerach's fortune was earned by breaking the law, why would any Democratic incumbent, candidate or committee accept his tainted money?
The Democrat Party gets a lot of campaign contributions from the trial lawyers. For example, lawyers from the class action law firm Milberg Weiss where Lerach once was a partner "contributed more than $7 million to the party's candidates since the 1980s" as reported by Mike McIntire for The New York Times.
Trial lawyers are the gift that keeps giving to the Democrat Party.
