Hillary Should Return Dirty Money
Nuke's News & Views ^ | 8/29/07 | Nuke Gingrich

Posted on 08/29/2007 9:13:00 AM PDT by grandpa jones

Yesterday, from Howard Wolfson, HRC spokesman: “Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic Party and its candidates, including Sen. Clinton.” … “During Mr. Hsu’s many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and we have absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question or to return them.”

Today, from the LA Times.

For the last 15 years, California authorities have been trying to figure out what happened to a businessman named Norman Hsu, who pleaded no contest to grand theft, agreed to serve up to three years in prison and then seemed to vanish.

“He is a fugitive,” Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview. “Do you know where he is?”

Since 2004, one Norman Hsu has been carving out a prominent place of honor among Democratic fundraisers. He has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into party coffers, much of it earmarked for presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Hillary Clinton should return this dirty money immediately, and provide full accountability for contributions received from the Hsu network. Her campaign should act immediately to preserve all campaign donation records, and campaign email databases. The emails should be made public. If Hillary ever hopes to escape the charges corruption which have hounded her for years, she should not try to explain this away as “just another attack from the VRWC.”

This is exactly the type of situation which lends credibility to the plaintiff in the upcoming Paul v. Clinton case.

She wouldn’t have any campaign money if she returned all the dirty money.

Now, that sounds like a good plan.

Next time Howard Wolfson shows up in public he need to be asked is he is harboring a fugitive felon..... since the CA AG is apparently looking for HSU to start his jail sentence.

I will asumme that Michael Vick has no jail problems to worry about at all since his plead snetence should result in a shorter jail time than HSU’s three years (and HSU clearly never had to worry about his conviction).

This is such a good deal for the donor. You get your influence... and you get your money back.

NEVER FORGET

.

While the CLINTONS were busy during the mid-1990’s refusing free offers from the Sudan to give us our No. 1 terrorist enemy OSAMA bin LADEN on a silver platter before he could hit us real hard here at home,

...the CLINTONS were also busy pushing the City of Long Beach, California into turning our U.S. Long Beach Navy Base over to the Communist Chinese in exchange for China Army money that was flowing into the CLINTON White House.

For...
...the Enemy is now within
...and always has been.

.

NEVER FORGET

She didn’t throw back Slick Willie and she won’t throw back that money, either. She wanted it, she took it, she’ll keep it.

“Mr Wolfson... Does Senator Clinton plan to pardon Norman Hsu if she is elected president?”

And the China should thank the Clinton for the technology for their new missiles and Moon exploration program.

Mark Billings (subbing for Rush) talked this up on the first hour of Rush’s show today.

It needs lots of exposure!

Herself, the Cold and Joyless, SHOULD return the money, but then, George Soros would have to be revealed as her sole contributor.

WARNING TO THE RNC, REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS:

Have your staff go through all donations and look for ANY contributions from these people.

They would be small straw contributions so the democrats and their media can always use the mantra: “Republicans received money too”...”Everybody does it”...”Republicans attack back fired...they received money too” etc, etc.

Who would they return it to?

It wasn’t Hsu’s money.
The Paw’s have probably been reimbursed by somebody. They essentially would be doubling their money.
The original donors wouldn’t dare to come forward and claim it.

I think we are just starting to see the beginning of this.

Here’s a “right back at ya”:
What did Hillary know and when did she know it?

Mrs. Clinton is dirty money. Everything she touches is slimed.

...there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and we have absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question or to return them.

There is another reason for this tactic.

If Hillary were to return the money, it would be a tacit admission of association with a wrong-doer.

Hillary seeks to deny the enemy (her enemy is us, not al queda) any chance to use tainted and returned campaign money to accuse her of malfeasance.

In Hillary's sick and psychotic world, she would rather deny and conveniently "not recall" any details, rather than to admit an error.
