Money goes in circles?
This could be the biggest election financing fraud in history, even surpassing the Nixon crimes committed during the 1972 election.Strong words from Rick Moran, but he's been doing some careful investigating of the Hsu money, and he smells something fishy about Joel "Woodstock" Rosenman's story. So do I. So does American Thinker. And so does Hot Air's See-Dubya, who cites two $4600 Rosenman contributions in March. I found these, but they may be duplicates of the above. I'm no expert on these things, but I'm also wondering how this $9200 contribtion by the company might fit in. And why isn't Hillary releasing her campaign records? It seems she's been "late" for an awfully long time. $9,000 here, $9,000 there might not look like much, but if this process is being repeated, the total might translate into real money. (And what about this guy?) If Rosenman and his family are such staunch Hillary supporters that they're stretching their legal contributions to the max, and if their company "recently" "invested" $40 million in a very shaky looking deal (only to now declare they want it back), I'm just wondering whether they (and possibly a lot of other donors) aren't playing some sort of financial shell game of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't. A variation on the old kiting scheme? You write me a check and I write you a check and you write me a check, and so on, and they all get deposited in such a manner that eventually it won't be clear whose check was the one that started the bounce, or (in this case) where the money originated. Here's Captain Ed: Did some other deep-pocketed entity front the money for Hsu in order to thoroughly launder the cash? It seems like the perfect long con -- show some flash up front and steal big in the end, but it still requires someone to supply the up-front money.I wish Hillary would hurry and release her records so the people who know what they're doing can look into them. I suspect that untangling all of this could take a lot of time, and hence the delay. Well, if we look at the bright side, Clinton scandals are no longer relegated to the realm of 1990s nostalgia for political junkies. They're in vogue again. But will Hillary remain a "Hsu in" for the White House? MORE: Via Glenn Reynolds, a link to puns and more nostalgia: HsuGate is a flashback to the scandals of Clinton's husband -- John Huang and the Buddhist temple; Johnny Chung transferring cash for a Red Chinese military officer, including $50,000 delivered directly to the then-first lady's chief of staff; Charlie Trie, who was cozy with a front firm for the Chinese military.Only if you're on a "Hsu-string budget." MORE: I don't think we should forget Peter Paul and Spider Man, as the same pattern may have been repeated many times. posted by Eric on 09.12.07 at 04:01 PM

Some of us who are real naive wonder how guys like Hsu manage to give $850,000 to Ms Clinton, despite the draconian barriers of the McCain-Feingold campaign contribution laws.
I have no doubt that she will come out of this unscated, much like the Clintons did some years back when the Buddhists gave them a potful of money.
Mr Hsu doesn't seem to be the most stable guy in the news today.
