Hillary Clinton Tries On New Hsu (Shu)

J.J. Jackson* | August 29, 2007

Norman Hsu is one of the leading political fund-raisers in the country this year. In fact, many fund-raisers say he is one of a small handful of people capable of raising more than $1 million — a major feat considering the maximum donation allowed by an individual for 2008 races is $4,600 per candidate.But longtime political donors are curious: “Who is Norman Hsu?” asks Robin Chandler Duke, a former ambassador and longtime supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton.Until three years ago, Mr. Hsu never made a campaign contribution to a presidential candidate, according to federal election records. Now, though, several people involved in raising money for White House candidates say Mr. Hsu is a major player.Many “HillRaisers” — people who rustle up at least $100,000 for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — are dwarfed beside Mr. Hsu (pronounced “Shu”). Several people involved in Democratic presidential fund-raising say Mr. Hsu, an apparel executive, has raised well over $1 million for the New York senator’s presidential campaign, making him one of the top 20 Democratic fund-raisers in the country. The Clinton campaign doesn’t disclose such details and declined to comment for this story.

“Forget the politics — Norman is widely regarded as decent, and enormously generous,” says Orin Kramer, a hedge-fund manager who is a chief fund-raiser for Barack Obama, the Illinois senator who is Mrs. Clinton’s strongest rival for the party’s presidential nomination.

Yeah, he’s “enormously generous” and apparently with other people’s money too! More …

Over the years, Hsu and his associates have given to Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, Barack Obama of Illinois and Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware. Obama and Biden, like Clinton, are seeking the presidential nomination….

In 1991, Hsu was charged with grand theft. Prosecutors said there were no latex gloves and no contract to sell them. Hsu pleaded no contest to one grand theft charge and agreed to accept up to three years in prison. He disappeared, Smetana said, after failing to show up for a sentencing hearing. Bench warrants were issued for his arrest but he was never found, Smetana said.

So now Hillary is harboring criminals? Apparently SHE can find him! Just check out the picture in the WSJ article!

He fits right in too.

Wonder if he’ll get a pardon if Hillary is elected?

UPDATE: Matt Drudge reminds us of another Clinton donor and felon who has evaded police (PRO-CLINTON ‘DIRTY CASH’ MAN FLEES)
