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.

What I hope is that Doug’s efforts will deliver Hillary and Bill on a Platter ... right to theit DemRat supporters!

Hillary originally planned to return $23,000 of Hsu fundraiser cash. The FBI shows up and now it’s $850,000........ AND B-I-N-G-O WAS HIS NAME ! Guarantee, much more to come on this Pandora’s box story.

Maybe when they get their refund, they will consider going to their local Home Depot for a gallon or two of paint for that palatial estate in Daly City, CA....

Right now we’ve got New York to look to.

Lots of honest prosecutors there......

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!

Hmm, if we Paws for a second, and think about it, I would say, without any Paws, that this would be very interesting and could put a Paws in her election plans.

Now if only we could come up with at least one such person or family. I would love to get my Paws on that info. ;^)

Does anyone doubt, had this been a Republican candidate (Bush 3 years ago), there would have been calls for a complete Senate investigation, impeachment, hanging, etc.?

[xzins]

I’ll bet the 850 grand is just the tip of the iceberg.

Hsu survived his “Marcy Park” moment on the Amtrak train and she now has to scramble to cut her losses. I wonder what it was they slipped him on that train? I wonder who did the deed, Hillary’s people or her PLA allies? Did anybody check to see if Craig Livingstone was on that train?

In this latest version of the Manchurian Candidate Angela Lansbury will play the psychotic traitor commie candidate instead of the psychotic traitor commie mother of the brainwashed assassin. Sounds like good casting to me.

So, those poor folk Hsu was laundering money through are going to get their “contributions” back... quite a profit!!!

But what prevents them from giving it right back to Herself! ?

[Shermy]

That’s a clever idea. The Chinese govt. could quietly finance a ponzi scheme so to make a lot of winners. The winners, feeling a little guilty, are leaned on for cash to politicians. The usual way, ChiCom money is given to chines citizen who then gives it to candidate...too easily traceable.

[Judith Anne]

Sounds to me like she wants a do-over. She’ll give it back, they’ll find another way to get it to her. This time, it won’t be found out.

I tell you, if a Republican candidate got 850 grand from a foreign citizen, that candidate would be fined, in jail, and disgraced in perpetuity.

The Clintons are nothing but small time hoodlums on a national stage. Does her breath still smell awful?

[TheDon]

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

LOL!

Return to who? Where exactly will this cash go?

[Red_Devil 232]

850K? Come on Bill and his minions was bought out in the 90”s for more than that!

[Judith Anne]

PS, Nobody believes you when you say, “I didn’t know” Hillary. We all know it’s nothing but a trailer trash lie.

PPS, did you give everyone their cut? If not, you have more enemies now.....
