According to state and local records, Hsu has given more than $53,000 to various political efforts in the state since 2004, including $27,600 to the state Democratic Party, $5,000 to 2006 gubernatorial hopeful Steve Westly and $10,000 to Hollywood director Rob Reiner's "Pre-School for All" campaign, which became Proposition 82 on the June 2006 ballot.
The state party gave $26,600 of that money back three weeks after Hsu donated it in 2004, said Bob Mulholland, a party consultant.
"Mr. Hsu asked for the money to be returned, saying he had made the donation in error," Mulholland said. "We haven't returned the $1,000 he gave us earlier this year, but the party will be looking at that contribution."
Besides giving the maximum $750 to Newsom's 2004 campaign, Hsu, a New York businessman, gave $750 to Harris' campaign for district attorney and then, in December 2006, gave Harris $500 more for her 2007 re-election campaign.
At the time he gave the money to San Francisco's district attorney, Hsu was wanted on a $2 million warrant issued when he didn't show up for sentencing after pleading no contest to San Mateo County felony grand theft charges in 1992.

So, how much income has Hsu declared, in other words, is it within his means to make all the contributions he’s making? (Or, is the money coming from, gee, i dunno, the Red China military?)
HRC - The REAL Manchurian Candidate
Do you mean to tell me that Hsu donated money to the same office that had a warrant out for his arrest??? If I’m wrong tell me. Holy smoke!!!

I was wondering that myself. It appears not, at least not in regard to the people listed, who are all San Francisco politicians. Hsu was wanted in San Mateo county, which is where Daly City is [home of the Paws]. San Francisco is a different county.
The entire government is swimming in Chinese money.
Norman; oooh oooh ooh-

.....
Yeah? Okay then, did the article say “why” he wanted the money back? I’m confused. Supposedly Daly City is a ‘burb of SF. No? Don’t those law enforcement types talk to each other? Wouldn’t a fugitive have been posted all over the state? Help me out here.
There silence is deafening!

He has been wanted since ‘91. I am just wondering how long the Chicomm money trail has been in operation. This smells to high heaven. A full Congressional investigation or Justice department investigation needs to be done. These dirt bag politicians can not cover their tracks fast enough to deflect attention away from themselves. Getting Craig off the news cycle should open this up for attention....
I find the actions of Bill Clinton’s wife extremely hilarious in this whole fiasco. Rather than give the money back to the crook, she’s going to “donate” it to some “charity” that accepts stolen money. By doing that, she can turn this thing into a “win-win” situation for Clinton, Inc. She’ll get all the warm fuzzies associated with donating to “charity” from her adoring masses yearning to make history by electing “the first woman president” AND she’ll have another large tax deduction to report to the IRS. LOL! Those damn ‘RATS are always always thinking ahead.
I'm with you. The story could not be more suspicious. FReepers could have found this guy in five minutes. The AG's didn't find him cause they didn't want to find him.
Looks like they were RATS who decided that on second thought it was not such a hot idea to jail the RAT who was feeding the other RATS bigtime.
Yes, the “I gave it to a charity” is the excuse she used earlier this year with the previous illegal contributions.
Which charity? It’s a pretty un-verifable claim.
I wonder how much Paw money they all got....?
ANYONE near the Clintons is DIRTY....birds of a feather..
ANYONE near the Clintons is DIRTY....birds of a feather..
Has Mr. Hsu been RE-ARRESTED as the FUGITIVE he is???? If not..why not!
BUMP
