The legal complaint against Gallup indicates that the DOJ is relying
solely on Lindley’s allegations to back its claim that Gallup defrauded
the federal government by allegedly overcharging for polling services
it provided various federal agencies. Since Lindley left Gallup, two
whistle-blower law firms have picked up his complaint. Each is filled
with major Obama and Democratic Party donors.
Debra Katz of the law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks LLP has donated thousands to Obama’s campaign efforts, records show. In 2008, she made three donations to then-Sen. Obama’s run for president, totaling $4,300. She also donated $1,000 to the Democratic firm DNC Services Corp. in 2008.
Records show also that over the course of the 2012 election cycle Katz has donated $1,250 to Obama’s presidential campaign, $250 to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and $2,000 to Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s U.S. Senate campaign.
Lisa Banks of the same firm originally supported now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid, donating $2,500 to her campaign before Clinton dropped out of the race in recognition of Obama’s likely insurmountable delegate lead. In October 2008, she then donated $1,500 to Obama. Banks has donated $1,000 to Baldwin’s 2012 campaign.
Katz, Marshall & Banks partner Avi Kumin donated $200 to Obama in 2008 and $1,100 to Obama during the current election cycle.
Daniel B. Edelman, a non-partner attorney with the same firm, is also a consistent Obama donor. He gave $1,500 to Obama in 2008, and has contributed $400 during the 2012 cycle. Edelman also gave $250 to Baldwin’s 2012 U.S. Senate campaign.
Robert Vogel of the law firm Vogel, Slade & Goldstein LLP donated $1,000 to Clinton’s 2008 Democratic primary against Obama and has made several other Democratic Party donations as well. In 2008, he gave the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee a combined total of $750.
