Yesterday’s New York Times reported that the Clinton campaign returned $7,000 of the $380,000 in Chinatown money that we noted yesterday. Sweetness and Light comments here; Hot AIr comments here.

And, from the New York Post: HILL’S CASH EYED AS CHINESE-LAUNDERED

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been raising huge piles of money in Chinatown, but some of it has come from donors who can’t be located or who were improperly repaid for their contributions, according to The Post and other reports.

A search of Chinatown donors yesterday by The Post found several bogus addresses and some contributions that raised eyebrows.

Shin K. Cheng is listed twice in federal records for giving $1,000 donations to Clinton’s campaign on April 17.

But the address recorded on campaign reports is a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases, hemorrhoids and skin disease.

No one at the address knew of a Shin K. Cheng.

Another donation came from a Shih Kan Chang on Canal Street. But the address listed is a shop that sells knock-off watches and other pirated goods. The sales clerk there did not know the donor.

Hsiao Yen Wang, a cook in Chinatown, is listed as giving Clinton $1,000 on April 13. Contacted yesterday, she told The Post she had written a check.

But it was on behalf of a man named David Guo, president of the Fujian American Cuisine Council, and Wang told The Post that Guo had repaid her for the $1,000 contribution.

Such “straw donations” are strictly prohibited by federal law.

Straw donations, accepting donations from Norman Hsu, a convicted felon, Charlie Trie and the list of campaign ethical slime goes on and on.

When will the Federal Elections Commission start to do the job they were appointed to do? What about a federal Grand Jury in New York? The FBI?

Who are these characters like David Guo and the Fujian American Cuisine Council? Fronts for the Chinese government? Or Chinese criminal elements?

The questions are many but the answers are slow to arrive.

Why?
