Citizens United Lawyer Jim Bopp Hit With Tax Complaint From Watchdog Group
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON -- The government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has filed a complaint with numerous government offices alleging that a prominent conservative lawyer has violated nonprofit tax laws.
The whistle-blower complaint contends that James Bopp Jr., a leading campaign finance reform opponent and one of the lead lawyers in the 2010 Citizens United case, has improperly benefited from his nonprofit James Madison Center for Free Speech by diverting nearly all of its funds to his Bopp Law Firm in Terre Haute, Ind.
The James Madison Center for Free Speech was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to provide pro bono legal services to clients whose First Amendment rights had been infringed by campaign finance laws across the country. CREW alleges that the nonprofit setup was done to benefit Bopp through payments to his law firm and that the center is no more than a front for the law firm. CREW calculates that Bopp and the nonprofit owe $6.2 million in back taxes for the years 2006 to 2011.

Karma thinks you're a punk Jim Bopp and is paying you in kind. From the story, he says that it's all a Liberal/George Soros frame job. Give me a break.
