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.

“The case became an embarrassment to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats.”

Hm....must have missed that.

Nothing to see here. They’ll just use the Democrat defense.

You want to bet?!

If her husband didn't embarrass her I doubt that she can be embarrassed!

No, you didn't miss it. Whoever wrote this article obviously doesn't know too much about Hillary Rodham Clinton. She can't be embarrassed! You have to have morals to do that! I doubt she even blinked at the 'news'. No one has ever held her accountable for anything. Why start now?!

Hussein did the same damn thing! National Review talked all about these "phantom" donors all through the campaign. McLame wouldn't call him out on it...and now the Saul Alinsky disciple is in control.

Good men did nothing, and evil took over. Sounds so familiar, doesn't it?

HILLARY! UNCENSORED had over 10 million views on the internet. The FEC knows exactly what she did and the Justice Department knows exactly what she did. But she is still above the law.

A new FEC complaint was recently filed that presented evidence they did not have when they let her off the hook in Dec. 2005. She filed a fourth false report in Jan. 2006, and evidence had been hidden. Thomesania Duncan, the new chief counsel for the FEC, is going to be getting some harassment. Since any citizen can file an FEC complaint, I am going to ask for help in filing hundreds of them. It’s easy to do. Then, we will light her up on the phones, on the internet, and on YouTube.

If you can help, thanks.

He didn’t sing against Hillary and other Democrats....I guess that’s why he’s still breathing.
