Coy? Fred headed up this investigation before. It is relevant again now, I totally support him bringing info to the table that can put the Clinton’s behind bars.

You can post all the dirty laundry you want, in it’s own thread.

JellyBean, do you have that link from the FAS?

Absolutely! Additional Views of Chairman Fred Thompson

Rich Galen issued a statement for Fred's campaign concerning Hsu:

Rival charges Hillary Clinton turned blind eye to Hsu's past

Sep 11, 2007 5:15 PM (2 days ago)
by Bill Sammon, The Examiner

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Hillary Clinton's links to illegal fundraising by Asian-Americans in 1996 should have made her wary of accepting $850,000 from a fugitive Asian-American this year, a rival presidential campaign said Tuesday.

The criticism came from an adviser to former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson, who chaired a Senate investigation into illegal contributions by Asian-Americans to Bill Clinton's re-election campaign and the couple's legal defense fund in the 1996 election cycle.

Thompson adviser Rich Galen said Clinton's 2008 campaign has become "the sequel" to her husband's scandal-plagued 1996 campaign.

Late Monday, Clinton announced she was returning $850,000 raised by fugitive Norman Hsu, who jumped bail in 1992 after being convicted of defrauding investors of $1 million. Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said the campaign was "unaware" of a warrant for Hsu's arrest.

Galen was unconvinced.

"You have to look at this with a great deal of skepticism that - having been through this sort of thing in '96 - that nobody thought to say, 'Hey, you know, we better take another look at this before we take all this money,' " he said.

"And the fact that nobody did - or if they did, they decided to just put their finger in front of their lips and say shhh and try to sneak off into the distance - tells you a great deal about the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign is the Bill Clinton campaign redux."

So what do you have to say about Sen. Thompson wimping out to the Democrats? I was totally disgusted in the whole senate Republican leadership back in those days and my opinion of them hasn’t changed one bit since then. Fred Thompson was a failure then and would be a failure as president. The Clinton’s got away with crimes of every description and Fred and company aided and abetted them. We had the chance to put them out of business and blew it. Now you want to elect a man to defeat Hillary who wouldn’t even be running if Thompson would have done his job in the first place.

Oh puhleeze...cut the garbage. Anyone can find your recent posts on Thompson under “In Forum”. Are you seriously trying to tell me you didn’t post this to boost Hunter’s dismal ratings?

There was a freeper that made a chinagate site. I can’t find the link. Do you know who that was?

And thank you!

He can redeem himself. I’m sure he has plenty of material to contribute to the investigation.

If I thought you were seriously doing an investigation...I would assist in research. But as you pointed out, your posting history speaks for itself and you have been dragging out stories from 1994 - 1997 in the last few days to slam Thompson. Your tagline indicates you are for Hunter, so the motivation factor is easy enough to figure out. Oh...and BTW, contrary to everyone's assertions on here, I have not made a decision as to who to support yet so I am not a FredHead...and I am a female.

Then you didn’t look at my posting history thoroughly enough. Of course my current posts are going to be election related. I, like most on a news forum are news/political junkies. This is an election season. That is the current topic.

Why do these faux Duncan Hunter “supporters” spend more time trashing Thompson all over the internet than actually SUPPORTING Hunter?

Why don’t they trash other candidates who have higher ratings than Hunter (which means every other GOP candiate)?

Who are they REALLY trying to help here, Rudy or Mitt?

It’s a cornspiracy, I tells ya...

Perhaps the same reason why faux Duncanistas hijack so many Fred threads?

Actually, sounds to me like you don't support Thompson. See, he tried to bring this to the table before, why don't you support his info now?

"You have to look at this with a great deal of skepticism that - having been through this sort of thing in '96 - that nobody thought to say, 'Hey, you know, we better take another look at this before we take all this money,' " he said.

"And the fact that nobody did - or if they did, they decided to just put their finger in front of their lips and say shhh and try to sneak off into the distance - tells you a great deal about the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign is the Bill Clinton campaign redux."

You all should be screaming how right he was. Why aren't you?

Duncanista tactics make me laugh hard enough to snort. Almost every day.

Ah...now we get the truth. Then don’t try to play this off as an investigation on the Clintons. And don’t accuse me of being off-topic if the reason you posted this thread is admittedly a current topic in your view.
