Are you kidding? They are almost exactly analogue.
How do you prescribe this non-profit as 'shady'?
How do you arrive at the conclusion that he was not paid some kind of market rate?
How do you arrive at the conclusion that expensive DC law firms are 'reputable'?
How do you conclude that Loretta Lynch's dealings were not at least with nefarious corporations or individuals?
Have you ever worked with a high profile law firm? You do realize that they are expensive because they help powerful people and groups bend the law, right?
He was the head of a non-profit advocacy group - and there are tons of them - and he runs around advocating for whatever cause. I'm of the inclination to believe that it was just a shade less than lobbying, ergo non-profit instead of having to register as a lobbyist.
$500K is not that much in many circles - probably a lot less than Loretta Lynch will have earned for working for who? Exactly? (I mean her client list, which is likely private)
Was she involved in defending nefarious activity by private individuals or corporations? (You do realize what lawyers do, right?) I don't know, I don't think any of us do.
The situations are actually very similar.
Hopefully, we'll get more of a chance to vet him ... but I'm doubtful there'll be much transparency on the source of his funds.
