Clinton to Return $850,000 Raised by Hsu

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.

Clinton’s camp is getting very nervous. Dollars to donuts this cash is coming directly from the Chinese military in Bejing. The Feds should get HSU in protective custody and conduct an in depth investigation.....I wouldn’t trust our CIA.

I believe it

As soon as I saw the song when checking the other one I knew it would be great

I’ve got “The Fugitive” too - and “The Prisoner” - but “Wanted Man” was perfect and has simple fitting funny lyrics

I use my old “Picture It” program. The original Hsu photo was only 223x399 and I cut him out of it!!

Then I stretched him out on a large white background and could stretch the prison bars as I wanted. Old program but still very good for things like that and the pictures don’t distort as you can see.

This is playing out, like the financing for “Air America”.

On the face of it, it wasn't "nearly a million bucks from one guy." It came from hundreds of people, on paper. But the back records the NY Times reported today, show that Norman Hsu slopped the money around from point to point, "giving" it to others. so they could make apparently legal donations.

This is felony piled on felony, piled on felony. And we don't yet know where Hsu got the money in the first place. He went bankrupt in the US. Then he went bankrupt in Hong Kong. Then suddenly, he's back in the States with millions of dollars to give to American politicians.

Class, can you say, "Chinese Communists"? I knew you could.

If Hsu was laundering money through third parties like the Paws, how is her campaign able to identify those who are getting refunds, unless they knew very well what was going on? And if the money was laundered, why should they get it back instead of being indicted for being parties to a scheme to defraud?

"Federal authorities are looking into whether Hsu leaned on investors to contribute to political candidates after paying them big earnings from a shady business venture he was running, the law enforcement official said. Such a scam _ using conduit contributors known as straw donors _ is a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act, which limits how much money individuals can give to candidates and political committees.

The FBI may be looking at other potential charges as well, according to the law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.

Great news!

I’ve got a very stupid question——???

?? How can she/it identify that $850k in Hsu “influenced donations” are all that has been given to her campaign??

Seems to me that each of her donor’s contributions bear the signature of the giver - not a bundler! How can she determine that Hsu has anything to do with the Paws, - for instance - or, any other illicit contributions.

My nose is registrating total Bull Sh*t!

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.

Oh please, oh please, oh please....

Has the media or anyone else ever checked out the ‘charities’ all this illegal campaign money is going to? It wouldn’t surprise me that phoney charities are set up in advance specifically to re-channel the money right back to them.

The Clinton campaign made its announcement around 6:40 p.m., shortly after the network evening news shows had begun on the East Coast.

In typical Clinton fashion, she's chosen to use the anniversry of 9-11 as media cover.
