The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party received warnings that Hsu had a bad record with money as early as June of this year, several sources report, but did nothing to distance themselves from the Hillraiser. Jack Cassidy, a California businessman who recognized Hsu as a shady character, sent messages imploring Democrats to avoid Hsu, to no avail:
Hillary Clinton's campaign couldn't explain yesterday why it blew off warnings about felon-turned-fund-raiser Norman Hsu - and the Daily News learned FBI agents are collecting e-mail evidence in the widening scandal.Clinton was forced Monday to give back a whopping $850,000 raised by convicted scam artist Hsu after learning his investment ventures were being probed by the FBI as a potential Ponzi scheme. ...
Yesterday, the campaign insisted it did all it should to vet Hsu after California businessman Jack Cassidy warned in June that Hsu's investment operation was fishy. Cassidy e-mailed his tips to the California Democratic Party, which forwarded them to the Clinton campaign.
It did all it could? That couldn't have been much more than a Google run. The warrant in California had been in effect for almost 15 years by that point, and his record of bankruptcies was easily discovered by the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times, both of which have done good reporting on this story. In fact, before his exposure, Hillary's western finance director defended Hsu's non-existent honor in an e-mail to party members, calling him "COMPLETELY legit."
Samantha Wolf no longer works for the campaign. They won't discuss her departure. I think we can conclude why she no longer handles Hillary's finances.
The New York Times reports that Hillary had specifically worried about this kind of scandal:
Of all the possible vulnerabilities facing Senator Hillary Rodham Clintons presidential campaign, Mrs. Clinton has long believed that the one of the biggest was money, friends and advisers say. Some sort of fund-raising scandal that would echo the Clinton-era controversies of the 1990s and make her appear greedy or ethically challenged.
As a result, Mrs. Clinton told aides this year to vet major donors carefully and help her avoid situations in which she might appear to be trading access for big money, advisers said. Also to be avoided, the senator said, were fund-raising tactics that might conjure up the Clinton White House coffees and the ties to relatively unknown donors offering large sums, like the Asian businessmen who sent checks to the Democratic National Committee.
Riiiiiiiiiight. Either this is post-Hsu spin, or Hillary has competence issues that rival Alberto Gonzales. Her campaign wants to argue that Hillary made donor vetting Job One, and yet they managed to be duped by a man who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and whose business contacts all turned out to be false fronts? To believe that Hillary's team put extra effort into vetting their fundraisers, we would have to believe that all of this extra effort failed -- over a three-year period -- to turn up the information that the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times managed to discover within days. Even the NY Times proved Hsu's businesses were phonies in less than a week.
Hillary has been exposed as exactly what the NYT describes -- greedy and ethically challenged. She's not the only Democrat on that list, either, and New Yorkers have even more reasons to suspect that their current Governor and current Attorney General have the same ethical and/or competence deficiencies as their junior Senator.
UPDATE: Stacy McCain interviews Flip Pidot at the Washington Times -- which featured The Q on yesterday's front page. Be sure to read it all.
Why Didn’t Clinton Team Heed Hsu Warnings?
The answer is obvious.
Ms. Clinton has so many Hsus in her closet.
In their minds; they are above the law and everyone they deal with regards to campaign money is a crook, just like them.
If this was Republican; we wouldn’t be discussing anything now because their butt would already be in jail which is really where the Clintons should be.
850,000 reason.
You're exactly right.
Just explain to me how this guy got out on bail now, after failing to show up for his jail sentence a decade ago.
Was he supposed to be “Fostered”?
The real crooks are at the top - Hillary, Harold Ickes, Howard Wolfson, and Terry “Global Crossing” McAuliffe. They give the flunkies huge fundraising goals and they get fired if they don’t meet them. How much vetting do you think they are really doing when they face losing their campaign jobs and their ultimate bigtime Clinton Administration jobs?

Check out Narman Hsus connection to Perfect Investments LLC.
He may be running a Ponzi Scheme right now in OC.
Jack Cassidy Says:
August 29th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
The Democratic Committee in Orange County
Samantha Wolf at the Clinton Campaign and
Senator Mark Pryor, were all notified of Normans activities in June.
Norman is most likely running a bridge loan Ponzi scheme in California.
The OC DA and the Police Department of The City of Orange brush this off.
The fraud guys do not work on Friday.
This scandal is the 800 lb. gorilla in the room and I think the legs are going to grow on this one. It is curious that it is reported Hsu was taken to the surgical wing in the hospital. Maybe someone is truying to elimate the popcorn trails.
Heads Up to my #6. Hsu’s in your back yard.
Same reason teens don't heed warnings of STDs and pregnancy - - raw lust. In her case it was the lust for political money and the power it brings.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Because they hoped they would get away with it. Same way they got away with taking illegal donations in the past. They may have to give it back when they are exposed, but no one on the hillary team, except possibly the donors, is going to jail.

People. The Clinton campaign checked Hsu against the FBI files on hand and he wasn’t in there. So he was vetted and came out good.
I nominate that as the post of the day.
Good one, D.O.

I believe it was John Huang that worked in a resturant in Little Rock. The Clintons had known him for twenty years before they came to Wasington, D.C. When trouble came up concerning Huang, they claimed they hadn’t known him before he was hired on at the White House, and even then very little...
One of the players is different, but the game is still the same.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

‘toonville didn’t think the media would report on it... TRUTH!

Because Hsu had money. Craiig Licingstone did the same thing at the White House duing the Clinton Administration, overruled the SS in who could come. Therore, you had drug dealers and the daughter of one of the top Chinese Generals stop in for visits and to write checks.
Hopefully, the NYT will turn on this broad.

When this story first broke, I did a Google search on the three major Hsu companies. In about fifteen minutes I learned that not one of them existed.
I hope the Hillary! campaign keeps coming up with equally ridiculous whoppers as “We did all we could!”. It just proves how utterly unfit for office she is.
If she had known then, what she knows now, she would not have accepted the money, worked for her on Iraq
I agree. It is amazing what simple explanations can do for someone the press favors. Imagine Nixon offering up that kind of defense. That alone would have gotten him the firing squad.
I agree.
Dear Ms. Feeney:
Jack Cassidy, a Democrat, suggests (1) that Senator Clinton’s donor Norman Hsu was involved with Perfect Investments, a company set up with the help of CSC-Lawyers (2), which is apparently a unit of FACT (3).
Was FACT using Norman Hsu as a conduit for campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton?
Is any of the data below mistaken?
Is CSC or FACT aware of any financial connections with Mr. Hsu?
Please advise.
Sincerely,
B.C.

If I recall correctly, the Tides Center was generously funded by Mrs. John Kerry.
my #27, fyi
If true, there is a link to deep pockets at FACT, and this might explain where Norman gets his money.
HOT TRAIL!!!!
Samantha...
I lost your train of thought upthread quite a ways.
1. Wessell was listed not for Perfect Investments, LLC but Picture Perfect Investments, LLC. Also, Wessell appears to run an incorporating service and acts as resident agent for all sorts of companies (see info on his main company, below). He is listed under almost 300 companies in the Nevada Corporations database.
2. CSC registers tons of companies, nationwide. They act as agent for many legitimate companies so I wouldn’t assume that a few bad ones make them crooks as well.
FYI, one of Wessell’s addresses you listed above is a personal mailbox address:

Beautifully documented work. Thanks so much for posting. This should be on the front page of the NYT, if it wasn’t fishwrap. Maybe the WSJ would be interested—it’s a clear progression.
Where does that registration information come from, and can we link it to Hsu? That is a critical missing bit. If you can prove that, I can prove a link to deep pockets lefties.
Sent to WSJ reporter, Taranto, and Captainsquarters.
Are “Picture Perfect Investments” per your record and “Perfect Investments” per Jack Cassidy the same or different?
They are both in California. Both seem to have registered recently. Neither seems to have a business presence on the Web. Cassidy is alleging a Ponzi scheme. Wessell sets up innumerable companies. Picture Perfect Investments is getting legal help from deep pockets lefties.
I’m hunting around the edges. If we can show the two companies are the same, and that Cassidy’s allegation that Norman is involved with one, then we have a possible deep pockets funder.
Just documenting in stream as best I can. Maybe a little loose on the proof about the two companies.
Well, here we go:

Need the money, no ethics and the parrot media will cover for her — er at least that is how it went last time.
The WSJ is looking more and more like it’s vying for the paper of record.
Conveniently, the address for Ms. Hsu is the Hilton Hotel:
5711 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, US, 90045

LOL I second the best quote nomination. Maybe of the year.
Incredible FReeper work going on here too.
Because Hillary's control officer told her not to worry.
THAT remains to be seen........
I've watched the Clintons dodge too many bullets to think this will derail them.....
When the Governor moved to Washington, so did Trie. Trie met John Huang in DC (Huang never worked at Fu Lin).
Trie's address in DC doubled as the address for the Daihatsu Trading Company, a PRC front.
Mrs. Clinton told aides this year to vet major donors carefully and help her avoid situations in which she might appear to be trading access for big money, advisers said. Also to be avoided, the senator said, were fund-raising tactics that might conjure up the Clinton White House coffees and the ties to relatively unknown donors offering large sums, like the Asian businessmen who sent checks to the Democratic National Committee.
I'd like to see both of these communications and a way to verify the time they were created, just in case they by chance make something up.
>>Where does that registration information come from, and can we link it to Hsu?
http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html
California has one of the most limited databases available on the internet—no other info is available unless you request the records from the Sec of State. I see nothing on the surface to tie it to Hsu.
There is no Picture Perfect Investments in the California Sec of State database. That was from your post, not mine.
Go to the database, HERE, and there is only one search result for any LLC containing the words "PERFECT" and "INVESTMENTS" in the LLC name.
