SACRAMENTO -- -- Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, the patron to would-be presidents who found himself staring at the prospect of imprisonment and federal investigation, was arrested in Colorado on Thursday.

Hsu, 56, was on an eastbound Amtrak train about noon when he fell ill, and Amtrak personnel took him to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., a hospital spokesman said.

There, he was arrested by the FBI a few hours later on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He was expected to appear before a federal magistrate-judge as early as this morning, pending his likely extradition back to California.

"He has to be brought before a federal magistrate judge as quickly as practicable," FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler said.

This is the LA Times' article on Hsu's capture.

Maybe Hillary Corleone will send a visitor to the Hospital to visit Hyman Hsu

The files are gone or won’t be “found”, good luck.

As Ken Nordine said on Word Jazz: "God may forgive you, but your stomach won't."

They will be found four years from now on a table, upstairs in the Chappaqua house, next to the Sandy Bergler framed picture.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Somewhat surprising.

I was sure he was in Hong Kong already.

[ckilmer]

agreed. this is very careless. if his handlers were competant he would be out of the country or dead by now.

It could be that they are just arrogant.

Or Bush’s CIA and FBI are more efficient and luckier than his handlers.

He’s in trouble now. I’d put him on an Arkancide watch...

[HereInTheHeartland]

It sounds like the Clinton machine almost took him out on the train:

The hit man who muffed the job on the train is running for his life or is dead.

[Manic_Episode]

I wonder what his bail will be set at this time?

[Gay State Conservative]

Ten bucks says that he’ll “roll over one more time” for the Former Twelfth Lady just like Webb Hubbell did.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Obviously he knew enough to stay away from the airlines. I am surprised he turned up alive, tho...

[badpacifist]

Really? I hadn’t heard this on the MSM. /sarcasm

[Clioman]

Amtrak food? Or did Hsu’s handlers give him a one-way ticket, a pat on the back, and a special box lunch?

Vince Foster redux.
