Hillary Clinton’s Dirty Money Man
August 30, 2007
Here's an elementary rule for presidential campaigning that Sen. Hillary Clinton was wise to obey: When you discover one of your major donors is a fugitive who skipped out on a three-year prison term, give his money back.
So it goes with Norman Hsu, a Democratic fund-raiser with a special affinity for Clinton and a penchant for elusiveness. He co-hosted a Los Angeles event at the home of billionaire Ron Burkle that raked in $1 million for Clinton. Hsu has given her $23,000 of his own money. He is also a bundler, pulling together contributions from others, and has pledged to raise more than $100,000 for Clinton's White House run.
Oh, and one other thing. California authorities have been searching for Hsu for 15 years, ever since he pleaded no contest to a grand theft charge in connection with an investment scheme and agreed to serve up to three years in prison. Hsu's lawyer told the Los Angeles Times his client has no memory of entering such a plea. Go figure.
Hsu has been out and about as a businessman and political money machine. According to The Wall Street Journal, he once listed his address as a house near San Francisco. The place is occupied by the family of a postal worker that has somehow managed to give $200,000 to Democratic candidates - including $45,000 to Clinton - since 2005.
It's time for Hsu to pay his debt to society. And Clinton was right yesterday to give his $23,000 to charity.
