Disgraced political fund-raiser Norman Hsu - a major donor for Hillary Rodham Clinton and other Democrats - was a wanted man again after he failed to show up for court yesterday, and a judge issued a new warrant for his arrest.

Hsu, whose criminal past has roiled the campaigns of presidential candidates, was scheduled to ask a judge to cut in half the $2 million bail he posted last week when he turned himself in after spending 15 years on the lam from a felony theft conviction.

Instead, San Mateo Superior Court Judge Robert Foiles ordered Hsu's bail forfeited to the county and issued a new arrest warrant.

I can see the folks in CA deliberately dropping the ball-again-to lose this guy. But where the heck were the Feds? Why weren’t they waiting to swoop in when Hsu went to do a bunk?

Some enterprising reporter could win acclaim if he/she could find out where ‘ol Norman gets his money...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu failed to appear Wednesday for a bail hearing.

Hsu forfeits his request to have his $2 million bail cut in half.

Hsu’s lawyer said he doesn’t know where his client is.

Hsu had been a fugitive in California for 15 years during which time he became a top donor to Democratic candidates, including presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

Hsu pleaded no contest in 1991 to a felony count of grand theft, admitting he’d defrauded investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam. Prosecutors say he was facing up to three years in prison when he skipped town before being sentenced.

Federal Election Commission records show Hsu donated $260,000 to the Democratic Party and candidates since 2004.

It’s so unlike the Clintons to be involved in scandals.

[OneRatToGo]

This guy will either turn up dead or never be heard from again.

Huang, Hsu.... Clintons....

[apocalypto]

Weird, isn’t it?

[AmericanMade1776]

Nothing has changed for the Clintons, more of the same ol’ same ol’.

Blast from the Corrupt Past of the Clintons

There was a concerted drive to get money from prosperous Asians, a White House plan to raise $7 million from them and it was carried out by some of the president’s old friends from Little Rock:

Restaurant owner Charlie Trie, now seeking business deals in mainland China.
James Riady, an Indonesian businessman who lived for a long time in Little Rock.
And John Huang, who was once employed by Riady, another friend of Bill.
Huang, working for the Democratic Party, raised nearly $3.5 million from Asians. But he was careless of the law.

He brought in $250,000 from a South Korean company, but the contribution was illegal because the company had no business operations in the U.S.

When reporters exposed that, Democrats gave the money back.

Soon more questions were raised, and more money was returned, including several checks totaling $450,000 from an Indonesian man and his wife. He was not a mere “gardener” as some describe him, but in fact a resident of a mansion in Jakarta.

Also returned: $325,000 raised by Huang from an Indian man with Japanese business connections but no money of his own.

Huang raised $130,000 in connection with a visit last year by Vice President Al Gore to a California Buddhist temple, which now markets videos of the event. Gore says he did not know it was a fund-raiser.

Weird. Very weird.

Unless the Feds did bag the guy on the Q.T., and have got him in protective custody while they pursue their inquiries...

[USS Alaska]

He will turn up in a Marcy park in Hong Kong. He is no longer an asset to the klintoons.

[apocalypto]

That’s a thought. But considering the Clintons are involved, I am not optimistic.

[stratboy]

Are we sure he skipped bail ? He may have committed “Arkancide”
