Posted by MacRanger as Hillary Clinton
Repentance after you’ve been caught is no repentance. It seems Norman Hsu is the new Jack Abramoff.
“Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton‚Äôs campaign said yesterday that it would give to charity $23,000 it had received from a prominent Democratic donor, and review thousands of dollars more that he had raised, after learning that the authorities in California had a warrant for his arrest stemming from a 1991 fraud case.
The donor, Norman Hsu, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates since 2003, and was slated to be co-host next month for a Clinton gala featuring the entertainer Quincy Jones.
The event would not have been unusual for Mr. Hsu, a businessman from Hong Kong who moves in circles of power and influence, serving on the board of a university in New York and helping to bankroll Democratic campaigns.
But what was not widely known was that Mr. Hsu, who is in the apparel business in New York, has been considered a fugitive since he failed to show up in a San Mateo County courtroom about 15 years ago to be sentenced for his role in a scheme to defraud investors, according to the California attorney general’s office.
Mr. Hsu had pleaded no contest to one count of grand theft and was facing up to three years in prison.
The travails of Mr. Hsu have proved an embarrassment for the Clinton campaign, which has strived to project an image of rectitude in its fund-raising and to dispel any lingering shadows of past episodes of tainted contributions.
Already, Mrs. Clinton’s opponents were busy trying to rekindle remembrances of the 1996 Democratic fund-raising scandals, in which Asian moneymen were accused of funneling suspect donations into Democratic coffers as President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore were running for re-election.
Some Clinton donors said yesterday that they did not expect the Hsu matter to hurt Mrs. Clinton unless a pattern of problematic fund-raising or compromised donors emerged, which would raise questions about the campaign‚Äôs vetting of donors. Mr. Hsu‚Äôs legal problems were first reported yesterday by The Los Angeles Times; The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday about his bundling of questionable contributions.”
I’m sorry, but this isn’t good enough. Over the years the most consistent factor of the Clinton’s is that wherever there has been dirty campaign money “some how” he ended up in their coffers. Who could forget the unbelievably transparent 1996 campaign scandals where it will quite clear that the Clinton traded nuclear secrets for cash.
Via Via Judicial Watch:
“This (Hsu) isn‚Äôt the first big Clinton donor who is a fugitive from the law. A wealthy Pakistani businessman who funneled thousands of dollars in illegal contributions to her campaign actually appears on the Federal Bureau of Investigation‚Äôs most wanted list.
Abdul Rehman Jinnah lived in Southern California and fled the country after federal prosecutors charged him with conspiracy and illegal campaign contributions to various Democratic senators. Not surprisingly, Clinton and her fellow Democrats‚Äîincluding California Senator Barbara Boxer–said they had no idea that their lucrative donor was violating the law.”
“No idea” my butt! The left calls this all to do about nothing and ‘coincidences’ and other assorted nonsense. Where the FBI should be heading to is over to the Paw family of Daly City, California. They seem to be the key to unraveling much of what we read about Mr. Hsu over the last couple of days. It’s simple really, pull an IRS audit of the family returns, mix with a little bit of interrogation and threat of 10-25 year sentences and they’ll talk.
There is much more to this story and we’re going to keep on it.

1Is there any word on whether Mr Hsu will soon be arrested? He IS a fugitive from California. Is he even still in the country? Or is he simply going to disappear just like the Pakistani? This is a hell of a time for the AG to quit!!
By the way, I just heard on Fox that George Soros’ ACT (America Coming Together?)just got hit with the third largest fine ever leveled by the FEC…$700K. Of course, that’s a drop in the bucket to a billionaire, right?
Damn! Just damn.

3So Hillary is going to give that money to charity? Which one? The Clinton Presidential Library? How about she give it back to the investors that Hsu bilked millions from with his scam? Or is that too much to ask?
Want to know how much Hsu had dumped into Dhimmicrats and the DNC? Take a look:

The difference between Hsu and Abramoff? Abramoff spread it around giving Harry Reid $68,000 which Reid refused to give back.
All the Dims that have taken money from Hsu should be required to pay it back to those harmed by Hsu’s scam over the “rubber glove” case. And why aren’t the Dims rushing to the microphones to distance themselves from this crook?
But it gets better: Hsu is on the board of the New School in New York where none other than Bob Kerrey is director. How did this felon make his way so deep into the inner circles of the Democratic Party? Do you really believe that no one asked “who is this guy and where does he come from”?

CFR is a fraud and the mega-bucks mega-scamming Dems have taken good advantage of that. What’s a $775k fine compared to the $12 m they got to misuse?

5I heard Obama is saying he will NOT return Hsu’s money. Is that true?
