WASHINGTON (AP) -

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign said Monday it will return $850,000 in donations raised by Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who is under federal investigation for violating election laws.

Clinton, D-N.Y., previously had planned only to give to charity $23,000 she received from Hsu for her presidential and senatorial campaigns and to her political action committee, HillPac.

The FBI is investigating whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates, a law enforcement official said Monday.

Golly, the “smartest” woman in the world keeps getting caught. What a reparable person her thighness is! If I were Norman Hsu, I’d be watching my back. The Clintonistas have a habit of losing their opposing witnesses to all kinds of misfortunes!

What’s the big surprise?

She’s returning the money... because they were caught red-handed and exposed in the national media.

How in the world did she get nearly a MILLION BUCKS from one guy!!

There should be a special prosecutor on this one. Pronto.

Also, Hillary should TOTALLY open her books so that an independent audit can track sources back up to a dozen levels to determine that a million bucks is all she really got from the guy.

What would it take to have standing to initiate a suit against her in New York to determine the source of her campaign money there?

Her first position: "I'm not giving any back."
Her second position: "I will give back $23,000."
Her third position: "I will give back $850,000."

MSM's consistent position: "Nothing to see here."

Oopsy looks like the real culture of corruption just flopped out into sight. So how many other Democrats will be giving money back tomorrow, now that the mother rat has spoken? Hsu, the dimms Jack Abramoff.

This is what he "raised" from others, not his own contributions theoretically. Of course if all the "others" were just front people for him, then that's when the fun starts!
