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.

Life ain’t easy for a boy named Hsu.
I was thinking more like Enquirer-type shots of the money-laundering operators posted on FR.
Yep, the MSM won't think this is important.
And if they thought it might be important, it would
be too complicated to cover well.
And if that lame excuse didn't work, the MSM would say
"everybody does it".
And if that didn't work, they'd question why Republicans are
"so uptight about money".
In other words, you're right - when it's a Clinton, the "pass" is filled out.
Clinton money in Chinese laundry operation. Should be reported to Justice and IRS, although it would need a few THOUSAND people to get their attention. It being the Clintons and all.
Oh my that shack is worth 200 + thousand dollars. My chicken coop looks about as good.
The title on this article says “CAUGHT”. Did they catch them and where is the update?
I give Four “Paws” up for this find!
Paws Mahal.
I love the smell of Clinton corruption in the afternoon!
Although this is a big story, it involves Clinton who keeps getting a pass.
Ah yes, and the John Huang connection listed there as well. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about the “Secret Asian Man!”
Mark Belling brought it up on Rush today too. Read it in entirety and talked for a segment on it.
Well, between Paw Paw and Maw Paw, and their children LeftFore, RightFore, LeftHind, and RightHind, there’s a lot of Paws under that one little roof!
I love the NYS connection with Cuomo, too. Here’s Cuomo going after Eliot “Troopergate” Spitzer while Andrew’s taking cash from the Paws...
That house in Daly City is probably worth about $550,000.00 to $650,000.00 easy! Pretty scary, but so go house prices in the San Francisco Bay Area. I always dreamed of living in a million dollar house.....little did I know it would look like the one I live in now, but it does! My son bought a house in the West Portal District of San Francisco for $700,000.00 4 years ago. It was a two bedroom “fixer upper” and was quite a mess. He has spent about $80,000.00 and much elbow grease and 4 years later it would list for over a million. San Francisco prices have not really tanked like in many areas. Lots of people are in trouble with loans because they over extended and didn’t re-finanace before the rates when up, but the home prices, while not rising as quickly are still high.
If you sat down and really drew up the list of people who gave to any politician...and compared against their actual salary...you might be shocked at the wide situation on a number of folks. I don’t think this is a one of a kind situation...there are lots of these I bet.
Well that would make more sense I guess. Won’t be today though. Maybe tomorrow.
