Hillary Clinton Campaign Donates Fugitive Contributor’s Money to Charity


Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign announced late Wednesday that it will give all money donated by a leading contributor to charity after it was revealed that the donor, Norman Hsu, was a fugitive from the law.


Hsu, who may have raised more than $1 million for Democrats, including $23,000 identified by the Clinton campaign, said he had done nothing wrong and had asked no favors in return. But a California prosecutor says Hsu pleaded no contest to grand theft and was facing a sentence of up to three years in prison when he disappeared in 1991, The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

First of all, Fox News having to get their news from the Los Angeles Times is pretty funny. Secondly, if Norman Hsu had contributed to the republicans, they wouldn’t have even carried the story.


Fox should have a “where are they now segment” featuring Jack Abramoff. No news coverage of what happened with ol’ Jack and all the republicans he bribed. Norman Hsu stole money and gave it to the democrats, big news. Jack Abramoff didn’t steal money, but charged people for appointments with the President, no news.

Hsu, an apparel executive who made his first-ever political contribution — to John Kerry — in 2004, is listed as one of the top 20 Democratic fundraisers in the country and is one of Clinton’s “HillRaisers” — people who rustle up at least $100,000 for Clinton’s campaign, The Wall Street Journal reports.


In 1991, Hsu pleaded guilty to grand theft after raising $1 million in investments for a phony business, Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. Bench warrants were issued when he failed to show up to his sentencing hearing.


“He is a fugitive,” Smetana said. “Do you know where he is?”


Hsu’s lawyer, Lawrence Barcella, said Hsu doesn’t remember ever making a deal with authorities, but he does recall a legal case that was part of a settlement with creditors when he went through bankruptcy. Barcella submitted a statement from his client to FOX News late Wednesday saying he will refrain from raising donations until the matter is resolved.

Norman Hsu takes a lesson right out of the George Bush/Karl Rove Playbook. I don’t remember! Really! I don’t remember a case where I was accused of stealing a million dollars!

This is a new twist. Being featured on America’s Most Wanted and the Bill O’Reilly Show led to a couple committing suicide rather than deal with the implications.

Couple featured on ‘Most Wanted’ found dead
By Michael Leiby, Roundup staff reporter
Tuesday, August 28, 2007


Paul and Myrtis Gauthreaux were found dead in their car Aug. 9 by Gila County Sheriff’s deputies on Highway 60.


Detective Terry Blevins of the Gila County Sheriff’s Depart-ment said, “The couple had been featured on ‘America’s Most Wanted’ and the ‘Bill O’Reilly Show’ the night before this happened,” he said.


“They had been implicated in a child pornography investigation,” he said.


“Apparently, the deceased female’s mother called her daughter on the eighth, the day after they were featured on the two television shows and asked if the allegations were true,” Blevins said.


Both suspects denied any involvement in child pornography.

‘Most Wanted’ to feature Utah fugitive
Suspect has eluded capture, and the trail has grown cold; case aired once before
By Nathan C. Gonzalez
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 08/11/2007 01:09:56 AM MDT


Nearly nine years have passed since Trisha Beristain was murdered and her body dumped about a mile up Big Cottonwood Canyon.


The 19-year-old Murray resident died after allegedly being shot by her then-boyfriend, Jessi Vega, who has eluded capture since the November 1998 homicide, said Lt. Paul Jaroscak, a Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.


Vega, now 32, faces a first-degree felony charge of murder. He is believed to use the aliases Jesus Mungia and Arturo “Chivo” Munguia.


Detectives hope their search for the alleged killer will get a boost today with the TV show “America’s Most Wanted,” which will air a segment on the case at 7 p.m. A piece highlighting the case first aired in 2004, but it didn’t provide many fruitful leads, Jaroscak said.
