By chance, I just talked to Fitch an hour ago, and he used exactly that phrase, predicting that there's a good chance that Trumka's next. He says the main reason the unions gave the Dems $45m in this election cycle was to assure the validity of their GOOJF card. Doug
I agree that Trumka's in trouble, but the idea that the AFL's effort was predicated on his legal situation is silly. Labor was committed to the Dems, pure and simple.
