Clinton says she will give to charity the $23,000 in contributions she received from Hsu, but her campaign does not plan to return any money Hsu raised from other donors.
Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, says Hsu likely illegally bundled and funneled contributions through others to the Clinton presidential campaign -- so the junior senator from the Empire State, he says, has a lot to answer for.
"Any diligent person would have found that [Hsu] had a problem in his background," he asserts, "and yet it seems to me the Clinton campaign was willing to overlook his problems and take his money. And these new folks -- who are likely straw donors for ... Mr. Hsu -- should have known that the money was suspicious or suspiciously laundered to them, and yet they didn't really do anything about it," says the Judicial Watch president.
Hsu has also given substantial contributions to Democratic Senators Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, and Dianne Feinstein, as well as to Al Franken, a Senate candidate in Minnesota.
Fitton suggests why the Clinton campaign was willing to overlook Hsu's criminal background. "Their attitude is [that] they're above the law," he states, "and unless they're caught red-handed they're not going to really fix the problem. So the arrogance in assuming that Hsu, a criminal fugitive [at the time], had appropriately given them other money, I think, shows [the Clintons'] contempt for the law."
Fitton says he doubts the latest fundraising scandal will harm Mrs. Clinton politically, arguing it is nearly impossible to add to the number of people who dislike the former first lady.
Unfortunately, history has shown than they HAVE made themselves "above the law" and they have done this by sacrificing nearly everyone who ever gets close to them.

And if those in the know are not willing to stand up and fight them on this and keep it out in the public they will get away with it again. I wonder how much courage is out there for someone to pursuit this? None I bet. If it were a pubbie in her position the dem/libs would be relentless. Not the pubbies...it’ll slide. Same ole story.

The short form of that is THEY ARE CRIMINALS — which is an understatement. As noted, they will do ANYTHING TO ANYONE AT ANY TIME for the sake of their parasitic empowerment on the backs of America. And there are mindless fools to help them do CONTINUE doing just that....

Election-law experts said the pattern raises red flags that justify a probe into whether the wealthy Mr. Hsu was improperly reimbursing the others for their donations. Mr. Hsu denied any reimbursement or any wrongdoing.
Beyond his $23,000 in personal contributions to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Hsu had raised well over $1 million for the New York senator’s presidential campaign, making him one of her top 20 “bundlers.” His reach extended well beyond the presidential race, as he has also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for House and Senate Democrats and governors across the country.
Everything about the Clintons is tainted.
But all the media is focusing on is Larry Craig. It will be up to us to keep the pressure on..
Bill Clinton himself said that he was “shocked” to learn that Hsu is a criminal.
That’s good enough for me. Hillary must be completely innocent in this.
I guess it may be "news" to some but those of us who have seen the Clinton machine operate certainly aren't surprised.
What was slick willies response about the hsu matter, a “straw” could have knocked him over???? When this is done, the straw donors may in fact knock them both over if some media organization(s) with courage see the entire story to its conclusion....
BJ should be shocked when he discovers that a Clintonista IS NOT a criminal.
Hillary
How? Did he watch a secret video of Bill and Monica? Did he adopt a "wide-stance" at an airport bathroom? Inquiring minds want to know.
It looks like Hill needs to return around $1M, not $23,0000, lol. That’s the real story, the rest is just bs.
Why is this in “bloggers/personal”? This should be front page news.

No, that’s Carville. LOL.
