“People complained about Carolyn Short because her husband [former Philadelphia city official Joseph Torsella] was a candidate for Congress on the Democratic ticket. Got nothing to do with her quality to serve on the Judiciary Committee. She took a several hundred thousand dollar pay cut. I don’t know what she was earning but she’s a defense trial lawyer and very well qualified and very lucky to get her to come over.”

She also donated to the Hillary for Senate campaign. Just for the record.
