Romney fund-raiser quits after indictment
A fund-raiser for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign resigned from his volunteer post last week after being indicted in Maryland for allegedly defrauding companies of $32 million.
Alan B. Fabian, 43, a Maryland businessman who cochaired the national finance committee for Romney’s campaign, was indicted Wednesday by a Maryland grand jury on 23 counts of mail fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, perjury, and obstruction of justice, according to the US attorney’s office in Baltimore.
Fabian had served as cochair since January and had contributed the maximum amount of $2,300, said Eric Fehrnstrom, a campaign spokesman.
Michael Ramirez on Democrat Fundraiser Norman Hsu and the Clintons
A controversial Hillary Clinton fund-raiser surrendered to California authorities yesterday – 15 years after skipping out on a possible three-year jail term for a fraud conviction.
Businessman Norman Hsu was cuffed and bail was set at $2 million, with a judge turning down his request to cut the bail in half. He was released on bail five hours later.
The Clintons and the smell of dirty campaign money has returned (remember Bill Clinton’s pardon of Mark Rich?) and is tainting the Democrat Party.
All of the Democrats who received Hsu’s contributions are now scrambling to rid themselves of the money – from New Jersey’s Senators to New Mexico’s Governor and Presidential candidate Bill Richardson.
Fancy that……
Stay tuned as Hsu and the others are scrutinized for their ties to foreign interests.
And the Los Angeles Times asks how Hillary could not know about Hsu.
Gateway Pundit has an excellent round-up of the Hsu-nami that has hit Hillary and other Democrats:
- Macranger has more on the curious Mr. Hsu.
- Kurt Hoglund built a Google Notebook of “All Things Hsuâ€.
- Don Surber reports- Hillary Hears a Hsu
- Clarice Feldman- Left Hand Meet Right Hand
- Captain’s Quarters questions Hillary.
Hillary’s donor case goes back to court next week
