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.

Good thinking!
Sending you another song you can use!
$850,000 is a drop in the bucket to Hillary, with the big bucks George Soros and Warren Buffet are donating to her.
The 260 strawman donors are under criminal investigation for their role in the scam. They will be charged and will be forced to testify against Hsu to avoid jailtime.
I like the sound of 260 indictments. They will sing like canaries unless they get Arkancided.

Great!
ROFL!
You post it, you are the master at this!!
He’s in the hospital and no one really knows why. They’ve probably already given the “suicide” order.
Why cant we give the 850k to a war orphans fund and give Hillary back to the Chinese?
bingo! combined with the Patreaus report
“All the news reports that name names, mention Obama in this up to his huge ears. On the other hand, one name notably missing from the list of Hsu beneficiaries is John Edwards.
So far.”
Exactly, the one who stands the most to benefit from this is remaining eerily quiet, not only from the demo camp but how about the repub/Rino camp? Where’s Rudy on this? This is his specialty (Marc Rich). Seems like I saw a very similar article like this a few years ago with different names. Hugh Rodham and Roger Clinton will give the money back and some woman lawyer (White) from NY was going to investigate pardongate. Not a word since.
I guess there just isn’t any back yards clean enough to push the buttons. All we can do is hope someone has a clean backyard and grows a pair.
Sometimes you’ve gotta wonder how this republic has survived all these years.
Only by the grace of God.

Now the DNC is trying to figure out where all of Hsu's donor money was coming from, and other presidential campaigns are trying to put their opposition research teams on the case to see if there is more damaging information to use on Hsu against Clinton.
"This has the smell of another Clinton/Chinese money scandal," says a researcher on a rival Democrat presidential campaign. "We weren't ready to trot all of that old history out, but the Hsu story is changing that a bit. Funny how it's the Clintons who find a mysterious fundraiser with ties to Hong Kong and China, who is giving them hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Another campaign says they are looking into rumors that former President Bill Clinton might also have profited from a relationship with Hsu and some of his business partners.
WOW!!
“Around the office it was known back in January or February that Hillary’s finance people had offered Norman the finance chair job for the Western part of the country,” says a DNC staffer with ties to the Clinton campaign. “It was a similar role that he was seeking from other campaigns before he made his final choice.”
“No one vetted him,” says another Clinton insider. “The kind of money he was promising and then bringing in was all our people needed to see, and he had a track record.”
How bad does Obama really want to win? How bad do his fans really want him to win? Their reaction to this will be very telling.
Hsu Stays in Colorado for Now ("trapped in his cabin, stuck between his bed and a wall")
