For all who did business with Hsu, the pattern is remarkably consistent: an initial attraction to a likable individual who offered the moon, followed by disillusionment and feelings of betrayal -- sometimes tinged with embarrassment at having been gullible.

If Hsu had been a Republican donor, does anyone think we'd be seeing references to gullibility? I'm glad the media is writing about this subject, but even now they see things in a biased manner. The poor trusting Democrats were duped, but given the same set of facts the GOP would be willfully using a corrupt crony to acquire illegal money.

I think but cannot prove that the real reason the Dems wanted to can Gonzales was that he was investigating corruption successfully. I knew they had extensive investigations in NJ and Ill. Since he resigned they have arrested 11 in NJ and this Hsu came to light.

Probably, the FBI leaked the Hsu story to the WSJ to facilitate their work. A story flushes out witnesses and scares conspirators into suddenly doing something conspicuous. We probably won't know a lot more until they mop the others up.
