Pierce O'Donnell -- a Democratic Party operative associated with the
Girardi Syndicate -- has been found guilty of a "serious crime" which
involves misrepresentation, fraud, deceit or the use of dishonesty by
funneling illegal campaign contributions to former Sen. John Edwards



U.S. Chief Judge Audrey Collins of the Central District of
California quickly ordered O'Donnell -- former co-counsel in the El
Paso Natural Gas/Sempra litigation -- suspended from practicing law
before any federal court located in the district. He has been assigned a
federal prison ID # 49097-112. It is how he will be known for as long
as he is behind bars when he begins his 60 days prison sentence on May
7, 2012.
As was reported HERE earlier,
O'Donnel is still under extreme scrutiny in connection with the strong
prima facie showing by which money which was "laundered" through and/or
misappropriated from the California Bar Foundation was used to launch
"Voice of OC" -- a newly-created online publication which State Bar
of California Executive-Director Joe Dunn had launched with the help of
Democratic Party operatives Thomas Girardi of Girardi & Keese and
James Brosnahan of Morrison & Foerster.
