Culture of Corruption Update

From the South Bend Tribune:
Geoffrey Fieger owns homes in Bloomfield Hills and the Caribbean, is a frequent commentator on national cable shows and makes a lucrative living using his theatrical style to win big verdicts in high-profile cases.

But in the past three months, Fieger has run into legal troubles of his own that cloud the future of the state's most famous lawyer.

The current problem is a federal investigation looking into whether he illegally reimbursed members of his law practice who contributed to 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.
What was that about a culture of corruption? What was that about election fraud?
