Wisconsin State Democrats Will Not Return Fugitive Hsu Money

Until he turned himself in Friday on a decade-old warrant, Hsu used his wallet and connections to make friends with Democrats everywhere.

Including Wisconsin.

While on the lam, Hsu gave $10,000 - the maximum allowed - to the Wisconsin Democratic Party's federal account in October 2004, records show. That's in addition to the already disclosed $2,000 that he gave to Gov. Jim Doyle in July 2005. In addition to Clinton, others who rushed to dump their tainted campaign cash were presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, comedian Al Franken, a U.S. Senate candidate in Minnesota and a handful of state Democratic parties.

For whatever reason, the folks here in flyover country aren't moving with the same speed.

Wisconsin Democratic Party officials did not return repeated calls to their office Friday.

Why won't the Wisconsin State Democrat Party return this money?? Because this has only been mentioned once. Please spread the word as best you can, all Democrats should be held accountable for returning this money.

It's ra™er obvious: while the source of the money might be questionable, the intent of the donation was legitimate and therefore they will keep the money. Of course, if a republican accepted shoe money (!), then it would be completely unacceptable. Bad intent, don'tcha know /aqualung

[Lewite]

It looks like the Red Chinese are really into funding the dumbocrap party. They know which party will be their “useful idiots” in the destruction of the United States.

Democrats return money? What a joke. They might say they donated it to charity but even those are suspect. Who’s to say it isn’t funneled back to them. All just a paper shuffle and we are supposed to believe that the dems are the clean party. Barf.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Don’t forget the federal matching money. The gift that keeps on giving! And you can reloan the money to new donors(well not legally, but who’s keeping score here?). Ain’t it wonderful?

has hitlary give hers back yet?

[afraid]

The day Wisconsin falls into a lake of fire the better off we will all be.

[xcamel]

No proof yet that Hitlery, Elliot Spitzer, or Andrew Cuomo have given back any of the money.

Since it appears that Hsu’s money came from defrauding investors, their attorney needs to file a motion in federal court to order that all funds received from Hsu be secured pending the outcome of the cases.

It’s the investors money not the politicians to keep, spend or giveaway.

It’s like the company that sells there “product”, pays the “vendors”, and then declares bankruptcy. All the real vendors and customers are out in the dirt, and certain people get their payoff. The court should go after the vendors that were paid 1-3 months before the filing. Of course, that rarely happens.

wait till the Donors Hsu bilked out of their money get a hold of HIS donor list!!!

they should be able to have the RATS arrested for receiving stolen money.
