Lee Daniels Spends More on Legal Fees and Puts His House Republican Campaign Committee to Sleep
July 19th, former long-time House Republican Leader Lee A. Daniels reported spending $102,400 on legal fees with the firm of Chicago lawyer Thomas Breen.
Breen is defending Victor Reyes, former top mayoral aide to Mayor Richard Daley.
There were two checks, one for $25,000 and the other for the remainder. One wonders if the smaller check was considered inadequate for the task Breen was requested to handle.
Continuing were transfers from Daniels' main political action committee to the beleaguer House Republican Campaign Committee, which Daniels finally put out of business. The life of Leaders for a Republican Majority was also ended.
The last six months of 2005, Friends of Lee Daniels loaned the HRCC $64,200 in two August installments and in November. The HRCC now owes Friends of Lee Daniels $483,800, which has been spread around to numerous Chicago-area law firms.
