Big Source of Clinton's Cash Is an Unlikely Address (Caught!)

DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.

That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan's Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.

It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.

The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.

Hmmmmmmm.....

[tcrlaf]

bump for morning...

[BurbankKarl]

$200,000 in Democratic campaign donations from this house!

[decal]

This gives one Paws...

[tcrlaf]

What’s a little campaign finance fraud to a Clinton?? Or even a DEMOCRAT?

It’s not like she’s ever going to be prosecuted for it. She’s a CLINTON, after all, and it’s obvious by now that they are above the law, and the MSM will agree...

[IslandJeff]

Nice work, WSJ. This is why any campaign finance legislation is a joke, like anything with lofty intentions.

Corporations/Unions just recruit volunteers to “give” to the limit to candidates and PACs while themselves writing the checks.

Just make everything public knowledge - no harm, no foul. I don’t care if defense contractors, for instance, grease critters on the Armed Services Committees - I just want to know about it.

[Jeff Chandler]

Where’s Senator McCain? We need him to once again respond to Clinton corruption by declaring the need to stifle free speech even more.

[dr_lew]

That’s right. At the very very worst, she’ll have to give it back. In fact, she might do that tomorrow, just to show how honest she is.

[iowamark]

I predict that these people will move away very quickly and never be heard form again.

[BurbankKarl]

McCain is probably sleeping right now...

[BIGLOOK]

Well.....well.

Won ton to dough nuts they're PRC.

[Frwy]

Do my eyes deceive me or is that bungalow really lime green?
Nothing good can come from a lime green bungalow situated beneath a glide path of the San Fran. airport. That poor little hut has been slimed. That’s what happens when you cheat on donations to Hitlery. Too bad that’s all that happens.

[Westlander]

[karnage]

heh heh!

[IslandJeff]

Except anything bigger than about 1200 square feet is still worth about a Half Large in SF.

Nothing will happen.

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe they're Buddhist monks who took a vow of poverty and donated all their income to Clinton.

Improbable, yes, but it's happened before...

-PJ

[Duck Fan]

Perfect!

[geopyg]

“attendance liaison” at a local public high school....

So THAT’s where the big money is to be earned!

[Political Junkie Too]

Well, there is a lot of hooky going on these days.

-PJ

[Frwy]

It’s Hitlery, of course nothing will happen. She gets away with murder. Figuratively and I believe actually.

[BIGLOOK]

捐款 ping

[afraid]

She is pure evil.

[ruination]

Check this out. Winkle Paw also gave Mario Cuomo's campaign for attorney general $5000 a few years ago. He must really be concerned about New York. He gave even more than Norman Hsu, who's a himself a New Yorker!

[IslandJeff]

Even if it’s foreign money, nothing ever happens. Not even sanctions.

My solution? I don’t have one, save for a draconian idea of a national election oversight authority, which, of course, isn’t constitutional. FEC filings, and the agency, are a joke. If nothing else, a private-sector equivalent of out-of-work journalists (with a vanguard of CPAs) might be up for the job.

[ruination]

Err, Andrew Cuomo.

[j. earl carter]

I was thinking they should have donated 198,000; and kept 2,000 back to have the place painted.

[AliVeritas]

A dam good time to bring up the Chinese past and present donations... shows a pattern if admitted.

[kalee]

bump for reading in the later AM.

[NRA2BFree]

Man, that's got stink all over it, in many different ways. Looks like Mrs. C and the gang of RATS are breaking the law again. Looking at that tiny house and seeing what their incomes are, I have a real problem believing they could afford to make those kind of contributions. Not only that, but they aren't consistent voters, which means they don't really care about politics, so why make those kind of contributions? Plus Hsu used to live at that address.

[BIGLOOK]

Donations federally, donations made in California, proposed.

[olivia3boys]

You guys don’t get it. A 1280 sq ft house in Daly City is worth a million dollars! No joke!

These people are wealthy.

[IslandJeff]

Lots of dots to connect, though. Why a re-fi at 270K? That’s an awful lot of cash to pull out of a house, unless the owner developed a higher-interest cash flow problem. Home renovation is pretty affordable, even, daresay, in the Bay Area. Daly City is actually a nice area.

Does the county publish property tax assessments on the Web?

[Tunehead54]

Well this looks interesting ... 4am bump! ;-)

[Solitar]

Won ton to dough nuts they're PRC.

Excerpt from this 1998 PDF file at senate.gov

Ted Sioeng, His Family, and His Business Interests

"Overseas Chinese Friendship Association - a $10,000 check was written on Sioeng San Wong’s account to the “O.C. Chinese Friendship Ass.” on April 15, 1995. The memo line the check indicates that it was meant as a donation. The Committee could not determine the nature of the donation. The check may have been intended for an organization called the Overseas Chinese Friendship Association. The association was set up at the direction of the PRC’s Communist Party apparatus, specifically, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (“CPPCC”), and was meant to forge and strengthen ties between the United Front Work Department of the CPPCC Central Committee and overseas Chinese in this country and elsewhere! Dr. Daniel Wong - a $5,000 check was written to Wong on the account of Sundari, Sandra, and Laureen Elnitiarta on February 15, 1996. Wong is a Republican who ran for the California State Assembly.!

"Norman Hsu - a $7,500 check was written on Sioeng San Wong’s account to Friends of Norman Hsu on March 11, 1995. Hsu is a former president of the Chinese-American 90 Association."

The FIRST thing the Federal Election Commission should do is file sanctions on the Clinton campaign until the provide the REAL addressses of the people donating the money.

IT IS FRAUD to use a false address for which to donate money, THAT KIND OF MONEY ESPECIALLY, to a campaign.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out there federal election officials!!!!

Do you really DO anything to earn your keep, or is the FEC all a big sham.

[Caipirabob]

"What're yoos lookin' at?!?"

[singfreedom]

How, the hell, about that? I’d say she was caught, but will anyone do anything about it. The dimwith algore was caught with the phone receiver in his hand, a Chinese contributor on the line, and nothing was ever done about it!

[singfreedom]

From a mail carrier and a housewife. Yeah, sure.

[My Favorite Headache]

I love waking up to read that this is not from world net daily or newsmax but the WSJ...this will have legs.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Sounds like the Paws are probably being unknowingly "fronted" as the people who launder Hsu's donations to Hitlery.

But of course, Mrs. Bill Clinton "knew nothing about it..."

[singfreedom]

The would probably depend on the the corp of journalists (as to how honest the regulation might be).

[piasa]

Boi Naim Hsu Ping.

[singfreedom]

With that kind of income, could they even afford a house in San Fran? I wouldn’t think so.

[singfreedom]

A mail carrier and a housewife? Maybe in Oklahoma City but not in the Bay area?

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

What the hey is an “attendance liaison”?

Thank you.

Now that her latest scam is exposed, the First Witch will just claim ignorance, give the money back, and the MSM will just sweep the whole thing under the rug. The money will just have to find another way into her account.

[gakrak]

As in Bill’s terms the corruption with the Chinese and foreign financing of there campaigns should be punished. The Clintoons are still doing what they do best, selling out America for a fast buck. Amen.

[gakrak]

Thats worth $1 mill on paper, where did the cash come from?
Surly not from there jobs. Amen.
