Hillary Clinton Accepting Donations From Problem Riddled Firm

  Hillary Clinton must be needing campaign cash pretty bad to be taking contributions from individuals at one company,International Profit Associates, which has been tagged for massive charges of sexual harassment.

   Senator Clinton has received $170,000 from the company has yet to return the funds, which is kind of bad when you also take into consideration that International Profit Associates CEO John R. Burgess, has a criminal record.

   From MSNBC

The federal government has accused the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA, of a brazen pattern of sexual harassment including "sexual assaults,” “degrading anti-female language" and "obscene suggestions."

In a 2001 lawsuit full of lurid details, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims that 103 women employees at IPA were victimized for years. The civil case is ongoing, and IPA vigorously denies the allegations.

Burgess has a criminal record, too. The former lawyer pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny in 1987 and was disbarred in New York, court documents show. Burgess also pleaded guilty to “patronizing a prostitute” in 1984, according to Erie County, N.Y., court records.
