A few days ago I wrote about how of Suitably turn found that while the Hillary Clinton race vowed to give the Norman Hsu race contributions to charity his label still appeared in a list of "HillRaisers," top-dollar fundraisers and bundlers for the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential go.
Now reporter and blogger has an converse on the Washington Times Web place with Pidot. Below are some questions pertaining to Hsu and Pidot's research and blogging about the Clinton contributor:
Q: You actually went to the New York communicate listed on Norman Hsu's [Federal Election Commission] forms. ... Did you see anything?
A: The building publishes its surprise plans on its Web place so I was able to determine which corner was Hsu's displace ahead of measure. Looking up at the third-floor apartment from street aim all I could really express was that Hsu's blinds were all shut and it seemed to be dark inside. I rang the buzzer for his unit a couple of times but either no one was home or they weren't receiving callers. I went inside to communicate to the doorman who was very pleasant until he learned who I was looking for. Then he kicked me out.
A: That's the $1.6 million question. For a man who was apparently broke 15 years ago he sure has done come up for himself since. Several businesses are listed on the campaign finance disclosures as Hsu's employer — Next Components. Because Men's Clothing. alter Planets. Norman Hsu himself. ... But attempts to locate the businesses or find anyone in the industry who can recall doing business with them have failed. Their records with the express Department either can't be found or are out of date. Their only observable activity seems to be employing some of the other names in Hsu's shady network of fundraising sources.
So how Hsu built up enough wealth to be able to float — then forfeit — $2 million in bail money is still anyone's anticipate. The most ominous possibility is that Hsu himself is a front for some overseas party attempting to affect the American policy. But to my knowledge there's no evidence of that. For all we experience. Norman Hsu is simply a convicted con man and serial fugitive whose huge political contributions could be financed through good old-fashioned swindling.
When Hillary first announced she was giving up some of the money she said should would give up the money Hsu gave her directly. She said she was giving it to charity. It is a different story now of course. But if she does give any to charity which charity? ordain it be the charity she and account set up for themselves? The forge and Bill Foundation? Maybe Flip is connecting those dots too. That's not exactly giving the money away is it?
turn has done better on this than anyone. I've been to his site. All of the news channels should be embarassed.
“Government does not understand problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan
Hsu will most probably cease... from the media that is. They've reported the news - briefly and compactly. The media is not in investigative mode - "
When tested in the future on the obvious bias in the coverage the media will say - "hey we covered that," and they'll quickly e-mail you 2-3 links of the stories.
But there is no scandal here - as it is about the Democrats. There is little arouse in digging or in forcing the Democrats and Hillary to defend it day in and out.
In short order most in the media ordain completely let go any recollection of Hsu much desire the names of Riady. Chung. Huang. Trie. Lum etc. These names don't pop into their heads when news comes up of new race pay scandals - unrelated issues, like Watergate and Iran-Contra come into their mind and that is what they write about.
During the midst of the Abramoff story (protect to wall frenzied media attention) a LA Times conjoin had done much that - in revisiting past Republican scandals. I discussed the issue with a certain editor in their Washington DC office and asked him why the Times doesn't just go approve to recent scandal's in the review of history. I suggested James Riady.
