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.

A thought for FReeper researchers: not only should the obvious parallels to Chinagate corruption be pursued, but it is quite a mystery how Hsu could be a felony fugitive all these years and yet enter and leave the USA (it’s been reported that he makes trips to the PRC, etc.). How did he have a passport, didn’t his fugitive status get entered into the NCIC, how can someone be on the lam from Calif. and have a valid passport, etc.?????? What have Calif. and the feds done in all these years to catch this fugitive from justice? Absolutely nothing???
Also, recall all the issues around ABLE DANGER and also Gorelick’s “wall” etc. Have the Clintonistas set things up to enable people like Hsu and all his contacts to stay beneath the “radar” of federal databases, etc.?????? There were indications that Chinagate had a lot to do with how and why the Clintonistas crippled the FBI and CIA and DIA....
Inquiring minds need to know!
Well, ABLE DANGER got that Congessman targeted by the Dems and by the way... I saw Gorelick interviewed on the PBS Newshour by that smarmy latino dude just a couple nights ago!!! She was biching about not enough cooperation between branches of government threatening national security!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???
Take a cruise from San Francisco to Alaska and you need your passport as id these days with a 4 hour stop in Victoria.
There is a reason why he was identified as a donor this past week and now as a fugitive.
So who dropped a dime on him?
Maybe Edwards....made the call....he has frinds in the legal business I understand....
Lol, how ya doin abb?
Maybe the Breck Girl’s husband, er, wife dropped the dime on Hsu.
Somebody did.
How long had that story been spiked at the WSJ?
Maybe Breck Girl should drop out and let his wife run.
I remember something similiar when she supposedly gave back the money the Islamofascists gave her in her $inate election.
A lot of us, wanted to see the cancelled check, and of course the mediots never followed up on her check that was supposedly written.
Of course.......with a straight face the friggin' libs will take a position completely opposite where they used to be, and expect their sheeple to suck it up.
Speaking of sucking it up, I've always thought of her performing a bestial act upon a gorrila, every time I hear that bi!ch's name. JAIME GORELICK
Good questions.
