Fugitive fundraiser captured in Colorado {Hillary's Hsu }
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 9/6/7 | Jaxon Van Derbeken,John Coté

SAN FRANCISCO -- Fugitive political fundraiser Norman Hsu, who skipped out on San Mateo County authorities this week rather than face sentencing in a fraud scheme, was apprehended tonight by federal and local lawmen in Grand Junction, Colo.

Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport.

Hsu's attorney told state prosecutors that he had been on a charter flight that arrived at Oakland International Airport at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and then dropped out of sight, said Gareth Lacy, a spokesman for the state Attorney General's office.

Hsu's disappearing act seemed to be a reprise of a move he pulled in 1992, when he failed to show up for sentencing in the same grand theft case. Hsu was facing up to three years in state prison, a $10,000 fine and restitution payments after pleading no contest in 1992 to a single count of grand theft in what prosecutors described as a $1 million fraud scheme.

But while free on bail after his plea, Hsu dropped from sight for 15 years, apparently spending time in Hong Kong, the Philippines and Taiwan, only to emerge in recent years as a seemingly wealthy New York resident who donated generously in Democratic political campaigns, regularly attended fundraisers and was photographed with party leaders.

A week ago, Hsu, 56, surrendered to San Mateo County sheriff's deputies in Redwood City after press accounts linked him to the earlier grand theft case. He spent a few hours in county jail before posting $2 million bail and agreeing to surrender his passport.

But keep your feet on the ground folks. The only way the Hildabeast is going to be kept out of the WH is by being clearly beaten in an election.

But you’re forgetting election fraud, weedhopper.

"Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary's Hospital......"

Huh! Was he taken to St. Mary's or did they find him at St. Mary's? Also was this the hospital that they took the TB guy too?

He will be on medication for his heart and have a convenient “heart attack”. The Clintons’ favorite method of eliminating their enemies.

I was expecting to learn that he shot himself in the back of the head a couple of times before jumping out of a window.
Or, fall down an elevator shaft onto some bullets...

And why is it so important to inform us that Hsu wasn't "in great pain"? And why would China want a good agent dead? Nothing will come of it. CHINA is involved, HILLARY is involved and China OWNS Hillary.

I thought he did not surrender his passport. IIRC, he was told to but said he "couldn't find it".

Excerpt from FOXNews

Hsu's attorneys say they do not know his whereabouts, and that their client did not surrender his passport.

Love the Pic!

I guess when you are raunchy, you are raunchy.

Somehow wherever Hillary is, CROOKS turn up, just as BIMBOS turn up around her husband!

WHAT A PAIR! ROFL :))

You may be right. Then again this cat seems like he knows how the game is played and probably has an “insurance policy” safely stored somewhere. Just sayin’...
