REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (Sept. 5) - Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was a wanted man again after he failed to show up for a court date Wednesday and a judge issued a new warrant for his arrest. Hsu pleaded no contest in 1991 to a felony count of grand theft, admitting he'd defrauded investors of $1 million after falsely claiming to have contracts to purchase and sell Latex gloves. He was facing up to three years in prison when he skipped town before his 1992 sentencing date. Prosecutors said they suspected Hsu fled the country then. But a few years ago, Hsu re-emerged in New York as an apparel executive and a wealthy benefactor of Democratic causes and candidates. Among them was Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose presidential campaign designated Hsu a "HillRaiser" _ a title given to top donors. Presidential contender Barack Obama also received contributions from Hsu for his 2004 Senate campaign and his political action committee, Hopefund. Federal Election Commission records show Hsu donated $260,000 to Democratic Party groups and federal candidates since 2004. Though a top fundraiser for Clinton, he also donated to Obama's Senate campaign in 2004 and to his political action committee. He also contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to state and municipal candidates. Associated Press Writer Andrew Miga in Washington contributed to this report. Hsu's where abouts at this time are unknown, but authorities believe he may be hiding at Hillary's apartment and spending the days with Bill. They have so much in common!
Hsu's last reported sighting was in Arkansas. He was trying to buy property he helped finance once before.
What do you all think of Fred Thompson? Why should this goofball be President? And please don't tell me that there is a shortage of idiots. I say bring on the morons.
While we are on the moron topic, why don't you post your remark in the correct thread instead of hijacking another! MORON
Again, show me where a Republican was caught up in the Hsu controversy? Again, show me where Hillary has been getting all her money. I am sure there are hundreds of Hsu's contributing to her candidacy.
With the amount he provides her, she only needs one such person. We may be learning more about all this, as Hsu was arrested again in Colorado where he was hiding out, waiting to make it all the way to New York and sanctuary with the Clintons.
Your right Danr. Where is Jack Abramoff today, as opposed to Norman Hsu? Who appeard in court when he was charged, as opposed to Norman Hsu? Please explain what the difference is between these two people and then think back to what you were writing when Abramoff was having his problems.. So now lets hear your thinking along the line of what should happen to Norman?
He should be pardoned by Hillary when she marches triumphantly into the White House...at least in 'some' people's world.
Again, no one is running background checks on donors. Let them both go to jail if they broke the law.
