Wanted on Bay Area grand theft warrant, Dem donor gave $53,000 to causes in state --

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, District Attorney Kamala Harris, Assemblywoman Fiona Ma and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took money from fugitive fundraiser Norman Hsu, the deep-pocketed Democrat who handed out more than $250,000 to Sen. Hillary Clinton and other party candidates and causes in the past few years.

According to state and local records, Hsu has given more than $53,000 to various political efforts in the state since 2004, including $27,600 to the state Democratic Party, $5,000 to 2006 gubernatorial hopeful Steve Westly and $10,000 to Hollywood director Rob Reiner's "Pre-School for All" campaign, which became Proposition 82 on the June 2006 ballot.

The state party gave $26,600 of that money back three weeks after Hsu donated it in 2004, said Bob Mulholland, a party consultant.

"Mr. Hsu asked for the money to be returned, saying he had made the donation in error," Mulholland said. "We haven't returned the $1,000 he gave us earlier this year, but the party will be looking at that contribution."

Besides giving the maximum $750 to Newsom's 2004 campaign, Hsu, a New York businessman, gave $750 to Harris' campaign for district attorney and then, in December 2006, gave Harris $500 more for her 2007 re-election campaign.

At the time he gave the money to San Francisco's district attorney, Hsu was wanted on a $2 million warrant issued when he didn't show up for sentencing after pleading no contest to San Mateo County felony grand theft charges in 1992.

Here we go (Foxnews from the AP):

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A top Democratic fundraiser wanted as a fugitive in California turned himself in Friday to face a grand theft charge.
Friday, August 31, 2007

*********************************EXCERPT*****************************

By PAUL ELIAS, Associated Press Writer

San Mateo County Superior Court Judge H. James Ellis ordered Norman Hsu handcuffed and held on $2 million bond. A bail hearing was scheduled for Sept. 5, at which the judge will consider reducing his bail to $1 million.

Hsu appeared in court accompanied by a lawyer and publicist, both of whom declined to say whether the New York apparel executive would immediately post bail. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he skipped the sentencing for a 1991 grand theft charge.

In the ensuing years, Hsu became a top donor to numerous Democratic candidates and was a fundraiser for presidential contender Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also had contributed to Sen. Barack Obama's past Senate campaign and his political action committee.

Are they going to put him on Arkancide watch?

[Grampa Dave]

His life insurance company should put him an Arkancide Watch.

[Grampa Dave]

Great job done by our former State Attorney General and the current left wing thug in that position re finding this criminal.

And when he was a kid, was he known as A Boy Named Hsu?

[SierraWasp]

He's been a real "busybody!"

Good post! Did you catch Hitlery doin her own "Top Ten" on Letterman last night? Mrs. Wasp said it was actually purdy good. Then I reminded her that it was written for her to recite like everything else, of course... Oh well... Repubs had better have something even stronger to appeal to Americans than the "Contract with America," or the people will just go willingly along with the idea that it's just finally time for a Femenazi For President, no matter what!!!

They won't even think about the role Bill will play!!!

God help us... PLEASE!!!

[potlatch]

Lol!

[abb]

And another damn thing! Hsu’s on first?

[The South Texan]

So it looks like we’ve found the Democrats Jack Abernhoff?

But of course the Drive Byes won’t follow the money and tie it around their necks like they did with the GOP and Abernoff.

[Political Junkie Too]

Did Hsu funnel any money to his own Congresspeople? I haven't heard Tom Lantos, Barbara Boxer, or Dianne Feinstein mentioned.

[Eroteme]

Rather than give the money back to the crook, she’s going to “donate” it to some “charity” that accepts stolen money.

Now that is a great soundbite. And a great point.

The recipient...if there is one...should be asked: "So, your organization accepts stolen money? Is this a standing policy or have you made an exception for Senator Clinton (Elliot Spitzer, Barack Obama, Doris Matsui, John Kerry, fill in the blank with any one of sixty names.)

[NormsRevenge]

Obama too 8-? (/archie bunker “
Awww GeeeezLouuuuise!”)

Thanks!

[NormsRevenge]

It is a small small small small world after all.

Bernie and Norman. What a team.

[newnhdad]

This guy just bought his way on to Hillary’s pardon list.
