What say you now, Hillary? (Mr. Hsu)

Hilary caught taking money from a swindler? Mon dieu! The Los Angeles Times has the story of Hillary’s fund-raising “fugitive in plain sight:” For the last 15 years, California authorities have been trying to figure out what happened to a businessman named Norman Hsu, who pleaded no contest to grand theft, agreed to serve up to three years in prison and then seemed to vanish.

“He is a fugitive,” Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview. “Do you know where he is?” Hsu, it seems, has been hiding in plain sight, at least for the last three years.

Since 2004, one Norman Hsu has been carving out a prominent place of honor among Democratic fundraisers. He has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into party coffers, much of it earmarked for presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

In addition to making his own contributions, Hsu has honed the practice of assembling packets of checks from contributors who bear little resemblance to the usual Democratic deep pockets: A self-described apparel executive with a variety of business interests, Hsu has focused on delivering hefty contributions from citizens who live modest lives and are neophytes in the world of campaign giving.

On Tuesday, E. Lawrence Barcella Jr. — a Washington lawyer who represents the Democratic fundraiser — confirmed that Hsu was the same man who was involved in the California case. Barcella said his client did not remember pleading to a criminal charge and facing the prospect of jail time. Hsu remembers the episode as part of a settlement with creditors when he also went through bankruptcy, Barcella said.

Nothing is the fault of a Democrat icon. The party charged MUST BE A NON-DEMOCRAT, that is rule #1!

Another Chicom money funnel?????

[doug from upland]

Yep, I’ve been harrassing reporters all morning to get them to write about Peter Paul and the Sept. 7 hearing. Hey, MSM, we have Hillary on tape soliciting an illegal %1.6 mil. Might that be newsworthy?

[Rummyfan]

Bust this con-man and money-launderer immediately. Then get him to flip Hillary.....

[shortstop]

I can't wait to watch the network news tonight to hear all about this.

Another Hillery fraud story that will be blown off. The woman will get caught sooner or later, but the Democrats are holding to their great White woman hope and if she runs afoul it will be due to the VWRC.

Is Hsu an agent for China?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Just goes to show ya how loyal the Red Chinese can be.

[xcamel]

Now - maximum freeper power needed to expose all the “Mr Hsu” links to other “bundlers”

[xcamel]

especially after “Mr Klin-Tun” supplied them with all of the military tech they ever could have dreamed of...

[Lexington Green]

If this be treason... well, the press will ignore it.

[Artemis Webb]

Were it virtually any other politician, even a Democrat, I would be willing to say something like, “a candidate cannot be responsible for the behavior of their donors.”

However given the Clinton predisposition for filthy and illegal fund raising tactics I find the bitch GUILTY.

[SMARTY]

He’s somebody’s bagman for sure

I’ve sent the article to Drudge. Hope he picks it up.

Is Hsu an agent for China?

My thoughts too. There is a history of the Red Chinese using money raising shills (Riady and Huang for example) to manipulate US elections to get Bill Clinton into the White House (read Ann Coulter's book "High Crimes and Misdemeanors"). Hsu looks and acts the part of a rat planted by Chinese intelligence. Sometimes if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck- it is a duck.
