Mark Fitzgibbons: The FEC regulates campaign spent to influence elections and this appears to clearly be intended to influence an election… I think this is unethical conduct. There are certain circumstances in which a lawyer may pay a fact witness, for instance if you need a fact witness to travel. Those are the exceptions to the rule… This goes beyond paying someone to travel to appear and testify. This is a lot of money. This was proposed money from an undisclosed source to testify about allegations of unlawful conduct. I think Miss Bloom has potential ethical problems with the Bar Association… I think this is a good example of a time when the bar association does need to step in.
