Hsu Raised Big Money for Clinton Supporters
Boston Globe ^ | September 26, 2007 | Scott helman, Globe Staff

In at least some cases, Clinton or her aides directly channeled contributions from Hsu and his network to other politicians supportive of her presidential campaign, according to interviews and campaign finance records.

Last fall, as the Nevada governor's race was heating up, Clinton agreed to help raise money for Democrat Dina Titus, a prominent party leader in a state that holds a key early presidential caucus. Clinton arranged for Hsu, at the time a little-known New York apparel executive with no apparent reason to take interest in Nevada politics, to give Titus $5,000 on Nov. 3, according to a person with knowledge of Clinton's fund-raising.

In other cases, Clinton helped direct Hsu's money to influential politicians who have yet to endorse her but hail from key presidential primary states. Clinton raised at least $6,000 from Hsu and his network last year for Governor John Lynch of New Hampshire, according to Lynch aides. Lynch has no plans to endorse anyone before the state's crucial January primary, aides said.

And at least some of the $17,000 that Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan collected from Hsu and his associates in 2005 and 2006 stems from a Nov. 29, 2005, fund-raising reception for her hosted by Steven Rattner, a New York investment firm executive and major Clinton donor seen as a candidate for US Treasury secretary if Clinton wins. Granholm's office said she has not made an endorsement decision

Details begin to emerge about how Hsu drew up his list of candidates to send money to. Hillary's wide-eyed, omigosh-we-were-all-fooled-and-I-wasn't-the-only-one schtick becomes more laughable by the day. The other candidates were not suckered by Hsu; they were bought by Hillary. Each would have understood the source of the donation was Hillary and what was expected for it.

One day, when someone finally gets the goods on Bill and Hill, I can see their heads exploding on TV or simply vanishing in a puff of smoke.

The Clintons run their own Mafia. They make sure people owe them favors.

Has anyone done any investigation into where in the hell Mr. Hsu, a man with literally no visible means of support, came up with the millions of dollars he has funneled into democrat purses?

Who is investigating it? I have seen no news stories that have attempted to track where the money came from. Sure we all know it comes from China, but nobody seems to be interested in tracking down the source of the money, or how the money managed to get into Mr. Hsu's checkbook.

Also I have seen literally no stories or investigative reports as to exactly what Mr. Hsu was buying with all this money.

Well, that explains why Hsu kept records in his books for the amount of money his investors were supposed to donate and who was supposed to get that donation. Hsu must have been trying to meet quotas given to him by Hillary.

So what’s the excuse for Eliot Spitzer and Andy Cuomo getting $60,000 from Hsu?

The Hsu story is dead, Jim.

Hillary, the Donks, and the MSM (but, I repeat myself) have moved on to more important subjects, such as O.J. and what Amadinejad says about gays. Nobody except a few troglodytes in the VRWC cares any more.

Hsu would need potential legal help in New York due to crimes he was committing there operating his Components Ltd. Corporation. The charges have been filed. Of course now the Feds are charging him because the ‘cats out of the bag’. Probably also helps the entire New York based Clinton operation to have the AG and Governor owe you donation favors.

LOL! Bill's appendage, the wide-stanced collectivist control-freak, was probably standing at the urinal beside Hsu. /sarcasm

From Captains Quarters article

'..Some people wondered why Hsu would donate eye-popping amounts to people like New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who got over $100,000 between them. Both endorse Hillary Clinton...

It's quite the web the Hsu spun, or perhaps Hillary spun it herself with Hsu's money. This story will cling to Hillary like a spider's web, and if reporters and the FBI dig deeply enough, she may never extricate herself from it.

All we need now is a spider, man.

FReepers need to keep the pressure on the news media to start digging into who was giving money to Hsu to launder.

Hsu’s investment scheme where people gave him a check for say $10,000 and Hsu gave the investor a post-dated check for $11,000 dated 4 months in the future would not be the type of Ponzi scheme that would provide money for Hsu to live a lavish lifestyle and make huge contributions to Hillary and others.

Remember folks it was not until May of 2007 that Hsu got over $60 million from Waters and Rosenman that he promised to pay back September 2007.

Who was Hsu’s cash supplier from 2003 to May 2007 that allowed Hsu to regularly payoff his short term investors, live a lavish lifestyle, and make mega political contributions?
