Campaign Finance Violations From Edwards Already? Yep.

Dick Morris [1] this morning, suggests there’s a lot on Edwards past…. stuff that didn’t show up in that huge post I put up yesterday:

“There is evidence that Edwards may have circumvented the campaign-finance law by bundling contributions from law clerks and paralegals who did not actually make the donations from their own funds.

Tab Turner, for example, the eminent Little Rock trial lawyer, donated $200,000 to Edwards’s campaign and his 527 committees. Investigators interviewed the clerks in his firm in whose names many of the donations were made. Slate magazine reported, on Aug. 29, 2003, that “one clerk who gave $2,000 to Edwards said that Turner had asked for people to support Edwards and assured them that he would reimburse us.

Edwards had to return $10,000 to several Turner employees and attorney Tab claimed that he did not know it was illegal to reimburse his employees for their donations.”

Yeah, right.

Little Rock? Trial Lawyers?

Wow…. DejaPooh…..
The feeling we’ve seen this poop before.
