“Abundance of Caution” Five days late and $850 grand short
You know they’re nervous when they give back $850 grand ill-gotten by fugitive Norman Hsu;
“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign said Monday it will return $850,000 in donations raised by Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who is under federal investigation for allegedly violating election laws.
Clinton, D-N.Y., previously had planned only to give to charity $23,000 she received from Hsu for her presidential and senatorial campaigns and to her political action committee, HillPac.
The FBI is investigating whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates, a law enforcement official said Monday.
“In light of recent events and allegations that Mr. Norman Hsu engaged in an illegal investment scheme, we have decided out of an abundance of caution to return the money he raised for our campaign,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a statement Monday night. “An estimated 260 donors this week will receive refunds totaling approximately $850,000 from the campaign.”
Wolfson said the Clinton campaign also will vigorously review its fundraisers, including thorough criminal background checks, in the future. “In any instances where a source of a bundler’s income is in question, the campaign will take affirmative steps to verify its origin,” he said.”
It’s not going to work. It’s like, “Hey, I didn’t know the guy was a crook when he shoved the hundred bucks under the table!” Ignorance of the law isn’t a excuse for cupability. The only reason the Clinton campaign is pulling this stunt is they’ve got it to throw away – it’s petty cash.
The FBI investigation is hugh and adding more agents every day. A field agent here in Miami confirmed that this may be one of the largest cases of campaign finance fraud they’ve seen in a long time and given the heat they’ve been taking over stupid things that NSL’s this is actually welcome.
Keep your hats on, this is growing bigger day by day.
HA…if the dems would like to rid their selves of the clintoons’ once and for all then let the ball roll.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
While they are investigating they should check into that all black Pequot Indian “Reservation” Casino on the NY-Ct state line. This “Reservation” was approved by the Dem. Congress in 1992 or 93 without anyone even checking the paper work. According to the Wall St. Journal, James Riady put up the money to build the Casino, and the Pequot Inidans are major contributors to the Dem. Party and Candidates. Since Riady was a Communist Chinese Govt. agent, was/is this fake Indian Reservation a cover to launder Chinese money financing the Clintons and the Dem. Party?
What does Hillary know about Hsu?…
Sorry folks, I have a great deal of distrust for Hillary Clinton. In what appears to be another purely political move on her part she had decided to return further monies donated to her campaign which were in some fashion tied to this felon.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Hillbillery has more Hsu’s in her closet that Imedla Marcos. If she gets elected, it will be the 2nd year of the rat for a clinton.

First reports were that there were 2 big checks to Hsu–one from NY (apparently Rosenman) and one (still undisclosed) from Cal. Hot Air commenters think it’s Burkle or Espirit founder Susie Buell and have some interesting stuff on the latter. If the chi-Coms wanted to pay you off for laundering their cash, what better way to do that than by offering you great production deals (slave labor).
