A longtime Democratic fundraiser has been convicted of violating campaign finance laws.
A Manhattan jury convicted Norman Hsu (SHOO) on Tuesday. The case became an embarrassment to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats.
Prosecutors said the 58-year-old Hsu used straw donors to make thousands of dollars in donations so he could bypass rules limiting the amount he could donate.
Hsu's defense argued he was framed by investors who cut deals with the government to avoid prosecution.
The federal jury began deliberating Monday afternoon.

Hsu’s on first.
Lead story front page top of the fold in every U.S. newspaper tomorrow.
“The case became an embarrassment to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats.”
Hm....must have missed that.
Nothing to see here. They’ll just use the Democrat defense.
Wasn’t he convicted once before?
When will the other Hsu drop? ...on hillary.
“Knock, knock!”
“Hsu’s there?”
You want to bet?!
If her husband didn't embarrass her I doubt that she can be embarrassed!
no hsu’s is good hsu’s
No, you didn't miss it. Whoever wrote this article obviously doesn't know too much about Hillary Rodham Clinton. She can't be embarrassed! You have to have morals to do that! I doubt she even blinked at the 'news'. No one has ever held her accountable for anything. Why start now?!
Hussein did the same damn thing! National Review talked all about these "phantom" donors all through the campaign. McLame wouldn't call him out on it...and now the Saul Alinsky disciple is in control.
Good men did nothing, and evil took over. Sounds so familiar, doesn't it?
Where is the media? There is a Culture of Corruption among the Democrat Party.
HILLARY! UNCENSORED had over 10 million views on the internet. The FEC knows exactly what she did and the Justice Department knows exactly what she did. But she is still above the law.
A new FEC complaint was recently filed that presented evidence they did not have when they let her off the hook in Dec. 2005. She filed a fourth false report in Jan. 2006, and evidence had been hidden. Thomesania Duncan, the new chief counsel for the FEC, is going to be getting some harassment. Since any citizen can file an FEC complaint, I am going to ask for help in filing hundreds of them. It’s easy to do. Then, we will light her up on the phones, on the internet, and on YouTube.
If you can help, thanks.
Paging Sneaker Pelosi...................Madame Sneaker, can you hear me?...............Here’s more of the “culture of corruption” in the DemonRAT Party that you need to clean up.......................We’ll be waiting for your report...................What’s that you say....................You’re busy working on keeping ethics charges from going through on Bwany Fwank, Charlie Rangel, John Murtha, Christopher Dodd, and now, your own corruption........................and I think those are all from this year......................LOL!!
Hsu knows what the aftermath will be...
He didn’t sing against Hillary and other Democrats....I guess that’s why he’s still breathing.
facing 30 years,he probably wants to sing but who knows if they even let him? who’s to say anyone will follow up?
The question was NEVER ANSWERED as to WHY HE DONATED MILLIONS to HILLARY??
Just another day in the life.
Democrat beneficiaries of illegal campaign funds NEVER incur any penalties. Occasionally, long after the ill-gotten contributions have achieved their intended purposes, a campaign organization MAY have to pay a slap-on-the-wrist monetary fine. Apparently some unwritten law governs such things.
PING
# 15, GREAT POST!!!! THANKS
She couldn’t be embarressed if the walls fell down and there she was sitting on a Toilet Stark Naked in front of an Audience of Four Million Gawkers:-)
Hsu’s on the other foot!
How about “Hsu’s the first”?
Stay tuned to FR for further developments and convictions.
Somebody seize Hillary’s passport (to Haiti, where Bill will take care of her while checking out the local chicks).
hard to catch Obama’s automated online “donor bots”
If the Hsu fits...
So the individual donors are the real criminals, Hsu had no idea that what he was doing was illegal. Yeah Right!
What do you really want to say here?
I sense there is something you want to get off your chest.
Bingo!
Sometimes evil is the greatest teaching tool. GenX and GenY haven't had the experiences to see evil firsthand gripping the world. And of course, many of the boomers are guilt-ridden. Facing evil makes us better, unless we don't survive it or become socialist slaves.
Yet, in a way, isn't it exhilirating to speak out and march and fight against evil? There should be no moral confusion and handwringing among conservatives.
Life is harder but it's simpler. The course itself, at least, is clear and there is peace in that.
Very good points, thinker.
I also take solace knowing God is sovereign. He is working out his purpose in all of this madness. :) It’ll be cool looking back in hindsight and seeing His Hand.
I won't go further into the specifics I discussed on another thread, but the Clintons should be in jail on treason charges. Ask me later and I will enumerate them. Or search: AlamoGirl. She documented EVERY corruption the clintons were involved in. Quite a list.
The question was answered (duel-use technology to China), but never proved. Their missles were blowing up at second stage boost until Loral (biggest single donor) gave them the fix. Remember, Billy transferred duel-use technology from the State Dept. to the Commerce Dept.
Then the Secretary of Commerce, Ron Brown, happened to die in a plane crash, just before it was reported he was going to spill the beans. Plus, a few military pathologists reported what looked like a bullet hole in the top of his head. They haven't been heard from since and there was no autopsy, which is SOP for Cabinet members.
Going back to the original question, the same as Hillary saying some dozens and dozens of times in her deposition (over a hundred?) about Watergate, "I can't recall". And then, the Rose Law Firm files showed up on some desk in the WH mysteriously(after they had been cleaned). Think Sandi Berger later with the Archive docs down his pants to minimize Billy's poor performance with Obama bin Laden.
I am still amazed, those trailer-trash got away with what they did.
In a just world, these people should have been tried for treason and be serving life sentences in a small cell with Big Bubba their bestest friend. I will never ever forget nor forgive what the Clinton administration did to our National security.
The Clintons got away with MURDER, but God will get them in the end.
"In the message played in court Tuesday, then-Senator Clinton said Hsu's hard work nearly left her speechless.
'I've never seen anybody who has been more loyal and more effective and really just having greater success supporting someone than you,' she told him. 'Everywhere I go, you're there. If you're not, you're sending people to be part of my events. You know, we're going to win this campaign, Norman, because you single-handedly are going to make that happen.'..."

Where’s the Hsu thrower now, or the Hsu bomber?
“McLame wouldn’t call him out on it...and now the Saul Alinsky disciple is in control.”
MAAAAAYBE if McCain was more aggressive on items like this, he would have won. However, he would have had to determine fairly early on to completely forsake the mediots (MSM). They were completely and fondly (tinglingly?) COVERING Husseins a$$.
“Where is the media? There is a Culture of Corruption among the Democrat Party.”
+++++++++++++++
media=demonRATS=Culture of Corruption
Not a stitch of difference. I hate the bigoted media.
“Democrat beneficiaries of illegal campaign funds NEVER incur any penalties. Occasionally, long after the ill-gotten contributions have achieved their intended purposes, a campaign organization MAY have to pay a slap-on-the-wrist monetary fine. Apparently some unwritten law governs such things.”
“Apparently some unwritten law governs such things”
+++++++++++++
That’s for SURE. media=dims=liberal judges=corruption
Anyone know what Hsu was going to get, in the way of
favors, contracts, influence, etc., for ALL that moola ?
I don’t recall. (/hillary)
Ambassador to Tahiti or Bali is what I could go for.
So when are they going to convict the bigger crook Hillary?
