Major Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton Arrested in California

August 31, 2007

  hillary_clinton.jpg I originally posted about Norman Hsu here. He is a major Democrat fundraiser for Hillary and Obama. I know what you are thinking, Hillary involved in another fundraising controversy is not news worthy, she and Bill have been involved in so many. But the mainstream media also consider it not news worthy so it has to be reported somewhere. It might as well be here.

  Here is the latest:

 A top Democratic fundraiser wanted as a fugitive in California turned himself in Friday to face a grand theft charge.

San Mateo County Superior Court Judge H. James Ellis ordered Norman Hsu handcuffed and held on $2 million bond. A bail hearing was scheduled for Sept. 5, at which the judge will consider reducing his bail to $1 million.

Hsu appeared in court accompanied by a lawyer and publicist, both of whom declined to say whether the New York apparel executive would immediately post bail. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he skipped the sentencing for a 1991 grand theft charge.

In the ensuing years, Hsu became a top donor to numerous Democratic candidates and was a fundraiser for presidential contender Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. He also had contributed to Sen. Barack Obama’s past Senate campaign and his political action committee.

    The MSM will only briefly touch on this and then hide it on page 34 of a 32 page paper.
    The “average” American is too busy or too unconcerned to pay any attention to anything in the news but gore, sex, and fluff.
    We are facing a national crisis every day and the man on the street just keeps whistling in the dark
    No one really cares about the Whitewater Queen except those who worship her or those who hate her.
    Scandal to our entertainment blinded citizens means a new headline for Britney, Lohan, Puff Daddy or some other meaningless insignificant celebrity.

    This is actually a big story, but it won’t have much effect on Hillary’s prospects. The Criag scandal is much more juicy and salacious!

    You need to read the NYT article about the foreign tycoon and government donors to Bill Clinton’s foundation. I blogged on it that it could be a major conflict of interest to have so many foreign entities donating to her husband when she is the SOS.

    Foreign policy could be tainted under her supervision. It is a good cause for non-confirmation.
