Will Emily Cain return illegal donations?

November 1, 2016

emily cainOn Saturday, The Boston Globe reported that Thornton Law Firm was illegally reimbursing employees in the form of employee bonuses for campaign donations they made. This has led to a multitude of Democrat candidates, including FBI target Hillary Clinton, to return the donations. But where is Emily Cain?

Cain received a campaign donation from Thornton Law Firm attorney Michael A. Lessler on May 18, 2016.  Will Cain join her fellow Democrats in returning the illegal donation, or will she keep the money?

NRCC Comment: “Will Emily Cain return the illegal campaign funds she received from an attorney at a law firm currently under fire for its illegal donation laundering scheme? If the donations were tainted enough for FBI target Hillary Clinton to return the money, then Emily Cain should follow suit.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
