This is interesting ----- Berstein Liebhard & Lifshitz, a securities class-action law firm, filed suit against the firm which Mayor Rudy’s police chief, Bernie Kerik, was involved with------Bernie cashed in to the tune of $6 million when he sold his shares.

REFERENCE Market Wire, January, 2005

========================================

BACKSTORY Democrat tax cheat Menachem Lifshitz is a partner at Berstein Liebhard & Lifshitz, a securities class-action law firm.....

Class action law firm? That brings back bad, bad memories of bigwig Democrat donors at the securities law firm of Milberg-Weiss who went to jail for illegally paying clients to file shareholder suits that prosecutors said earned $251 million in lawyer fees.

Those connivers pleaded guilty last April to racketeering conspiracy, admitting to secretly paying a stable of plaintiffs to file lawsuits from 1979-2005. "Weiss was widely recognized as the king of the plaintiffs' securities bar," said Jacob Frenkel, a former federal prosecutor.... "He has taken the same fall as the corporate executives who put greed before their shareholders."

As ikka posted earlier: Rahm Emanuel says “Melly’s a piker compared to what I was able to pull off.”

=======================================

Hey, who knows-----Rahn might have been in collusion with Melly...........using tax-exempts to raise the helpful last-minute tens of millions for Obaba that put him over the top.

MultiMillionaire crook/dirtbag/sociopath/socialist Rahm Emanuel lives in a mansion which pays no taxes since it is owned by...The Rahm Emanuel Foundation.

I kid you not.

You or I would be in jail so fast, your head would spin.

Don’t you know that it is only okay for Democrats to be multimillionaires? They come across their millions “honesty” while Republicans come into their money “dishonestly”. I wonder how many drug dealers vote Republican? My guess is not that many.
