Somehow this guy Hso doesn’t appear to be that smart. I wonder who is behind the scenes?

The fraud case was largely forgotten when he returned to the United States and years later began aggressively raising money for Democrats, including Clinton.

Ooopsies! Can you believe we forgot all about Norman's little scuffle with the law? How silly of us!

Does anyone know if records are kept of the Secret Service's vetting of people prior to contact with a protectee? I would think something that important would be on record somewhere....

“Source Financing Investors, a fund run by one of the creators of the 1969 Woodstock rock festival, complained to Manhattan prosecutors that it put $40 million into Hsu business ventures that it now suspects were fraudulent.”

I guess that Mr. Rosenman and the investors in Source Financing Investors thought that Hsu’s promise of 40% profits on a four and one half month investment was on the up and up.

Those two pages are interesting. What a great guy this Hsu is. I mean he was doing this just out of the goodness in his big heart right?

It's fun for us to watch this, but will any of it stick to Hillary? I doubt it. If a Republican Presidential candidate got money from someone later found to be a crook, wouldn't we minimize it?

About all we can hope for is that this is just another 'drip' in a long series of them, that remind the public that another Clinton administration is just going to be the Chinese water torture of scandals, like the last one was.

He is an alien election terrorist. Send his worthless ass to Gitmo. You get mo at Gitmo. Make him read the koran comic book.

Wow. His will to live is strong, even if it means the rest of his life in prison.

Do I hear a little birdie somewhere?

Even a little birdie (did you note his tweety-yellow jumpsuit?) should want a lawyer on hand when talking to the FBI. What’s up with that??

Maybe he’s afraid they’re all in the bag for “you know who”

"Paging Hilary Clinton and DNC... The game is up, down comes the house of cards....."

Don't bet on it. Last week, the msm was already spinning the Hsu scandal as a mark of Hillary's INTEGRITY, how she's giving back the money, setting up unprecedented levels of scrutiny for donor money, etc.

Some would, but the MSM wouldn't. Hsu would be a household name, and editorialists nationwide would be pontificating on the latest "Republican" scandal.
