Republican presidential candidate who led a Senate inquiry into illegal foreign fund raising in the 1996 presidential campaign, Fred Thompson of Tennessee, is warning that the phenomenon may be repeating itself with Senator Clinton's current White House bid.
"From what I read in the papers, it looks to me like some of the same familiar refrains are playing when I look at Senator Clinton's situation," Mr. Thompson told reporters yesterday during his first campaign swing through California. "I'm not going to jump to any conclusions or make any accusations until all the facts are in, but when I see people who are in the newspapers bundling large sums of money from mysterious sources, I must say it brings back some very unfond memories for me when I was chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee and we investigated those matters in the '90s with regard to President Clinton."
Dishwashers, waiters, and other low-income workers in New York's Chinatown recorded as donating tens of thousands of dollars to Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign this year could not be located by journalists or lacked the immigration status needed to donate legally, according to a recent report in the Los Angeles Times.
In 1996, the Democratic National Committee raised millions of dollars from immigrant communities. Some money was later traced to sources abroad, mostly China and Indonesia. More than two dozen people were prosecuted. Others fled the country.
Spokesmen for Mrs. Clinton's campaign did not respond to a request for comment for this article but have said previously that donors are vetted and suspect donations returned.(continued)

BINGO. We have a winner.
Now the question is WHY?
A Clinton playing Fast and Loose with the RULES?? Naahh!!
Is this Norman Hsu, Charlie Tree with a “”new”” Passport??
“Donors are vetted...”, shaken down, threatened, given large sums to pass on, and advised how to get out of the country real fast.
Crinton numba won! Crinton numba won!
After a few more unscripted debacles like as what occurred in that softball debate (and other gross errors recently), she might become completely unhinged and have a meltdown on stage.
I mean there is this issue of the illegal funding percolating, she chose Sandy Burglar as an advisor, her vote for the motion to censure Rush Limbaugh, the policy lead-balloons she has floated.
I think her aura of inevitably has vanished and the cracks are beginning to spread.
Because she can. Same reason gave for his affair with Monica. He did it because he could.
“I think her aura of inevitably has vanished and the cracks are beginning to spread”
That’s a nice slip of the tongue, or was it.....
‘”Because she can.....”
Naaa...because so far WE THE PEOPLE have given them a pass.....and will do so as long as we remain comfortable.....
The illegal immigrants should all ask for refunds from the Clintons. It's probably more than they make in a month!
Everyone realizes that if this were a Republican nominee that the major media would be smearing this daily, that an investigation would already be under way in the House & Senate, and that Clinton would be receiving calls from her party for her to step down.
It is a fact that the media actively opposes conservatism.

Too bad The Bush Administration has given the Clinton cabal a free pass on every crime ever committed, past, present and future.
Exactly. Many criminals never stop until they are incarcerated or terminated.
That's just what we need. A new direction in D.C. No more Compassionate Conservatism!
My dream come true would be if he appointed David Shippers as Attorney General.
Fox News showed a clip last night of the debate--Tim Russert was visibly irritated when he waved that piece of paper under her nose and asked her about the "ban." She didn't like it. I'm praying for his life, he embarassed The Queen.
Then by way of defense, she shows a clip of how all these men are ganging up on her...what a joke, she and her husband have been bullying the Democrat party for years and even they are getting sick of it.
The MSM continues it’s enabling of the Clintonistas.
Fred, Take no Prisoners!
I think a co-worker is reading that same book. I don’t remember the name of it, but it’s written by a Little Rock journalist.
I’ve read a few passages. It’s amazing how one man got away with so much. Truly amazing.
Well, I don’t know about one man. As Hillary likes to imply these days, I think it was a team effort.
“Too bad The Bush Administration has given the Clinton cabal a free pass on every crime ever committed, past, present and future.”
Yep, every time!
good... now does that mean we can put an end to the "but Rooty is the ONLY one!" mantra?
I pretty much agree with Bill Bennet an Mark Levin yesterday when I thought I heard him say something like any one of our front runner guys is worlds better than any of the dems.
Myself I like Hunter, Thompson and Huckabee, but if Julie Annie or Mc Cain gets it, I am not going to stay home and give the election to the libs.
I could almost bet Hil is trying to find any way she can to weasel out of more debates. Hil will have a few rebounds, but I think everyone including the msm sees the blood in the water, so watch for more opportunities for ‘unscripted minutes’ to happen.
Fred is right on mark. This treasonous bitc* can't wait to be back in the White House and re-establish all her contacts with the Communist Chinese ie. agents like Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie, John Huang. And I'll bet that Hillary is already excited about contacting and doing business again with the Riadys, and Bernard Schwartz of Loral///and on and on.
If Hillary (and the democrats) win in '08, it's Chinagate - all over again!

Interesting point - no one has said “Hillary Clinton supports drivers licenses for illegal aliens so she won’t have to bus them to her fundraisers”...that would leave a mark!
Please report to Fort Marcy Park.
Her girlfriend could probably get me in there, but HRC never could, well maybe in her 20'sh days ;)

Also I would have put up a Ft Marcy sign at a different park and then take her there ;-)

We’ve got to get some of this stuff out by writing editor’s letters.
Thanks for the ping!
You have said it, and it bears repeating.
