Clinton Donor Under a Cloud in Fraud Case (DUH)

As we reported previously , Norman Hsu, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates since 2003, some of it coming from a single simple home south of San Francisco lived in by other people.

But what was not widely known was that Mr. Hsu, who is in the apparel business in New York, has been considered a fugitive since he failed to show up in a San Mateo County courtroom about 15 years ago to be sentenced for his role in a scheme to defraud investors, according to the California attorney general’s office.

Mr. Hsu had pleaded no contest to one count of grand theft and was facing up to three years in prison.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said yesterday that it would give to charity $23,000 it had received from a prominent Democratic donor, and review thousands of dollars more that he had raised, after learning that the authorities in California had a warrant for his arrest stemming from a 1991 fraud case. GEE, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT BACK TO MR HSU...hummmmmm...
