Hillary Clinton Watch: Will Return $850,000 in Hsu Contributions?
Norman Hsu, a convicted felon fugitive and Democrat Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton
Fox News and Drudge are reporting: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is returning $850,000 to donors raised for her presidential campaign by Norman Hsu.
Update:
Clinton to Return $850,000 Raised by Hsu
“In light of recent events and allegations that Mr. Norman Hsu engaged in an illegal investment scheme, we have decided out of an abundance of caution to return the money he raised for our campaign,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a statement Monday night. “An estimated 260 donors this week will receive refunds totaling approximately $850,000 from the campaign.”
Wolfson said the Clinton campaign also will vigorously review its fundraisers, including thorough criminal background checks, in the future. “In any instances where a source of a bundler’s income is in question, the campaign will take affirmative steps to verify its origin,” he said.
And, does anyone really think that Hillary did not know about some random Chinese guy who raises almost a $1 million for you and others in your party?
The joke is that she will now conduct criminal background checks for donors. You will do this how over the internet?
You simply collect the money, and after the election suddenly discover that your donor is a crook.
Fancy that……..
Or you can be a very rich crook and donate to your husband’s Presidential Library like Marc Rich. But, that is another story – pardon?
In the meantime, the FBI investigates Hsu and his business dealings.
But, it is NOT just Hillary who received the money:

Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: John Fund – Governor Moonbeam II
Billionaire Eli Broad, left, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa share a laugh during a news conference Monday, Sept. 10, 2007, at University of California, Los Angeles Biomedical Sciences Research Building in Los Angeles. Broad donated 20 million dollars to UCLA for stem cell research.
Governor Moonbeam II
California Republicans met at their convention near Palm Springs this weekend and heard two starkly different messages. Their own “post-partisan” governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, called on them to embrace the fight against global warming, support huge tax increases required by his universal health care plan and otherwise move to the center. Otherwise, he warned, the GOP would be “relegated to the margins of California’s political life.”
The governor’s message was received with tepid applause, with some delegates sitting on their hands. The atmosphere dramatically changed only minutes later when another convention guest, conservative Texas Gov. Rick Perry, strode to the podium. Mr. Perry, a former Democrat, delivered what the San Francisco Chronicle called “an incendiary address deriding Schwarzenegger-style moderation.” He assailed California’s “bankrupt, liberal political philosophy” and, without mentioning his fellow governor’s name, made it clear he included Mr. Schwarzenegger in that indictment. “It’s a sad, sad state of affairs when liberals campaign like Republicans to get elected, and Republicans govern like liberals to be loved,” he bellowed, leading the crowd of 400 delegates to give him a standing ovation.
Jon Fleischman, publisher of Flashreport, a popular conservative Web site, said the crowd’s unfavorable reaction was understandable because Gov. Schwarzenegger had come “into a Republican convention and talked about how the success plan for Republicans is to be more like Democrats.” The governor’s aides snapped back that their boss still has the approval of over 80% of Republicans in opinion polls, and no conservative Republican currently holds statewide office.
Of course, the governor’s strategy only makes sense if it leads to good governance. In the case of his health care plan, not a single state legislator of either party is willing to introduce it — Democrats want something even more radical and Republicans believe the plan is unconstitutional and loaded with higher taxes. The former action movie star may be basking in laudatory news coverage for his “third way” approach to governing, but on his signature policy issue he’s so far laying a goose egg.
— John Fund**********
And unless the California GOP recruits Condi Rice to run for Governor in 2010, Californians may receive Governor Moonbeam III in a repeat of Jerry Brown, the original Governor Moonbeam.

Senator John Ensign Calls on All Democrats to Return MoveOn.org Contributions
Senator John Ensign, R- Nevada, calls on Democrats To return All MoveOn.Org Contributions.
“Today, ostensibly on behalf of National Democrats, Democrat front group MoveOn.org is calling a unanimously confirmed United States General a liar and betrayer of the public trust. Apparently the prospect of campaign funds is enough of an incentive for Senate Democrats to stand idly by while a respected General is maligned before he has even presented his report to Congress.
“If Senate Democrats are serious about moving our country forward, they will denounce this outrageous ad and return the campaign funds MoveOn.org has lavished on them as well as the donations made through MoveOn.org — the choice is theirs.”
But, Senator, MoveOn.org is the SURROGATE for the Democrat Party which is too weak to go on the record. The Democrats hide behind the skirts of MoveOn so they can elect Democrat Representatives in conservative red state districts.
Disingenuous and pathetic.
The Democrats should publicly denounce this ad and return the money.
