A longtime Democratic fundraiser has been convicted of violating campaign finance laws.
A Manhattan jury convicted Norman Hsu (SHOO) on Tuesday. The case became an embarrassment to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats.
Prosecutors said the 58-year-old Hsu used straw donors to make thousands of dollars in donations so he could bypass rules limiting the amount he could donate.
Hsu's defense argued he was framed by investors who cut deals with the government to avoid prosecution.
The federal jury began deliberating Monday afternoon.

Democrat beneficiaries of illegal campaign funds NEVER incur any penalties. Occasionally, long after the ill-gotten contributions have achieved their intended purposes, a campaign organization MAY have to pay a slap-on-the-wrist monetary fine. Apparently some unwritten law governs such things.

# 15, GREAT POST!!!! THANKS
She couldn’t be embarressed if the walls fell down and there she was sitting on a Toilet Stark Naked in front of an Audience of Four Million Gawkers:-)
Hsu’s on the other foot!
How about “Hsu’s the first”?
Stay tuned to FR for further developments and convictions.
Somebody seize Hillary’s passport (to Haiti, where Bill will take care of her while checking out the local chicks).
hard to catch Obama’s automated online “donor bots”
If the Hsu fits...
So the individual donors are the real criminals, Hsu had no idea that what he was doing was illegal. Yeah Right!
What do you really want to say here?
I sense there is something you want to get off your chest.
Bingo!
Sometimes evil is the greatest teaching tool. GenX and GenY haven't had the experiences to see evil firsthand gripping the world. And of course, many of the boomers are guilt-ridden. Facing evil makes us better, unless we don't survive it or become socialist slaves.
Yet, in a way, isn't it exhilirating to speak out and march and fight against evil? There should be no moral confusion and handwringing among conservatives.
Life is harder but it's simpler. The course itself, at least, is clear and there is peace in that.
Very good points, thinker.
I also take solace knowing God is sovereign. He is working out his purpose in all of this madness. :) It’ll be cool looking back in hindsight and seeing His Hand.
I won't go further into the specifics I discussed on another thread, but the Clintons should be in jail on treason charges. Ask me later and I will enumerate them. Or search: AlamoGirl. She documented EVERY corruption the clintons were involved in. Quite a list.
The question was answered (duel-use technology to China), but never proved. Their missles were blowing up at second stage boost until Loral (biggest single donor) gave them the fix. Remember, Billy transferred duel-use technology from the State Dept. to the Commerce Dept.
Then the Secretary of Commerce, Ron Brown, happened to die in a plane crash, just before it was reported he was going to spill the beans. Plus, a few military pathologists reported what looked like a bullet hole in the top of his head. They haven't been heard from since and there was no autopsy, which is SOP for Cabinet members.
Going back to the original question, the same as Hillary saying some dozens and dozens of times in her deposition (over a hundred?) about Watergate, "I can't recall". And then, the Rose Law Firm files showed up on some desk in the WH mysteriously(after they had been cleaned). Think Sandi Berger later with the Archive docs down his pants to minimize Billy's poor performance with Obama bin Laden.
I am still amazed, those trailer-trash got away with what they did.
In a just world, these people should have been tried for treason and be serving life sentences in a small cell with Big Bubba their bestest friend. I will never ever forget nor forgive what the Clinton administration did to our National security.
The Clintons got away with MURDER, but God will get them in the end.
"In the message played in court Tuesday, then-Senator Clinton said Hsu's hard work nearly left her speechless.
'I've never seen anybody who has been more loyal and more effective and really just having greater success supporting someone than you,' she told him. 'Everywhere I go, you're there. If you're not, you're sending people to be part of my events. You know, we're going to win this campaign, Norman, because you single-handedly are going to make that happen.'..."
