BREAKING NEWS: Big Dem fundraiser wanted on swindling charges

The Los Angeles Times will report on this website later tonight and in Wednesday's print editions that a major Democratic Party fundraiser named Norman Hsu is wanted by authorities for skipping out on an agreement to serve up to three years in prison after pleading no contest to grand theft swindling charges.

In an exclusive story by Chuck Neubauer and Robin Fields, The Times will report that for three years Hsu has been carving out a place of political and financial influence by funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Democratic Party coffers, much of the money earmarked for Sen. Hillary Clinton. He has earned the ranking of Hillraiser for pledging to raise at least $100,000 for her.

In just the last 36 months Hsu has been involved in raising more than $1 million for Clinton and other Democrats. Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, confirmed today that Hsu had been a "longtime and generous supporter" of the party including Clinton. "We have no reason to call his contributions into question or to return them," Wolfson added.

Hsu has developed a specialty of bundling hefty campaign contributions from obscure citizens who live modest lives and have never before given money to campaigns. Many are not even registered to vote................"

This ties in with the Wall Street Journal article about that postal worker and his family living in a 1200 sq ft home in LA who donated $200,000 to Hillary and other Democrats in the past 2 1/2 years.

As I said on the other thread, this smells a lot like the scandal that took down CA Secretary of State Kevin Shelley - San Francisco Asian shell donors. Ten bucks and my left nut says some of these people are the same ones.

LA Times is ready to report it.

I guess they figured they could not sweep this one under the rug.

Interesting that this story comes to light at roughly the same time that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's weird behavior from two months ago also hits the fan.

Gee. I wonder which story will get the most attention.

And stupid Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and the rest of the talk show lemmings will fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Yeah, yeah, I know...mixed metaphors and all that. But dagnabbit, I'm tired of our newsies getting played like Stradvariuses.

Hsu's lawyer confirmed today that his client was the one involved in the California case but said he did not remember pleading to a criminal case nor facing jail time

Takes, "I do not recall" to a whole new level!
