He must not be a Democrat. If he were, he could have used taxpayer funded interns and it would have been o.k.

Of course this is really sleazy. But how is it unlawful or a violation of the ethical rules? If nude dancing is a lawful for profit activity, why can the lawyer not barter for this exchange, sleazy though it is?

I’ll guess that he failed to pay income tax on the “dance income”.

He is only a lawyer.
Thanks to people like Edwards and Obama we have all seen that it doesn’t require a lot of brain power to meet minimum requirements for that distinction.
So, how was he supposed to know something like this would be construed by his enemies as being illegal?
Anyway, he was just voting PRESENT.

Here’s where the Libertarian in me comes out...
If a SCUM sucking, bottom dwelling, cold blooded (my apologies to the CATFISH of America) Thinks that’s valuable enough to pay or his services... let him Go for it!
It’s not like we’ve had “Lawyers” twist the truth .. like ... depends in what the definition of IS ... is!

I missed the part about it being a CHICAGO Lawyer.
I rest my case.

Whats illegal about payment in kind? Wouldn't that have to have involved prostitution, not simply stripping.

He’s lucky she is a stripper. If he tried to do this with a woman who was not in that “business”, he would have been disbarred.
