   Will the IRS investigate the folks that “donate” more than they earn in a year?
   Isn’t that unreported “income” that ends up as a political donation a matter for the IRS?

   Just more of the same from the Clinton machine. As usual they will claim ignorance and blame the right-wing for making something out of nothing.

   Nothing will come of it…too much corruption and power from within the Clinton machine.

   Bet the MSM says nothing about it..no surprise there huh?

   They must have made a pact with the Devil is all I can say.

   They do not even talk about the Tskopoulos Family and I hope she does a follow up story on this at the WSJ or maybe Michelle can.

   Just a quick check at:

   http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/index.asp

   Donor: Tsakopoulos
   State: CA
   Recipient: Clinton

   I wonder how these poor Unemployed/Student or just plain Student in the occupation list can dontate $13,440 in since 2005 to Clinton.

   I also notice from the WSJ that the address listed for the Tsakopoulos Family just happens to be a student apartment building near CSUS here in Sacramento. Google earth it to look at it.

   Rabbit, that is a great idea, but the IRS has not been too quick to jump in on political campaigns…

   Hence, we have this mess to deal with.

   Lawrence Barcella, a Washington attorney representing Mr. Hsu, said in a separate email: “You are barking up the wrong tree. There is no factual support for this story and if Mr. Hsu’s name was Smith or Jones, I don’t believe it would be a story.” He didn’t elaborate.

   Wow, I didn’t know you could play the Asian race card.

   Interesting the this has all but dissapeared from Drudge, while the 100 year old woman who still smokes has been up for 2 days…

   Sorry Katie is headed to iraq and Syria so CBS will cover it when she gets back. It ain’t that important. NBC, well they are busy tracking down pedophiles and turning down pro victory in Iraq ads, which leaves ABC. Are they still on the air???
   Don’t expect any coverage soon on any of the over the air dinosaur network news shows. Fox may touch it as part of Brit Humes “Grapevine” but that will probably be about it.
   Crossing Hillary can be hazardous. Almost as much as printing cartoons which poke fun at Islamic radicals.

   Thank god we have talk radio and blogs like MMs. Other wise this would fall to the wayside. I said it once I’ll say it again. These guys in a $270k house have given more money to the DNC recently than the Maloofs, and they own a casino and the Sac’ Kings.

   This issue CANNOT be let go until we get some answers.

    I’ve said it once and it deserves to be said it again. This house in San Fran that Hsu is involved with is worth less than 300k, yet they can give over $700k to the DNC over the course of two years, $45k which went to Hildogs campaign. That’s more money than the Maloofs gave, owners of both the Sac’ Kings as well as a Vegas Casino.

    This story CANNOT be dropped unti we get answeres that are more than just race baiting.

    Ann Coulter was on Hannity and Colmes a few days ago and she was asked why she thought no politicians and no one in the media would go after Hillary. She hit the nail on the head when she said something along the lines of: “because no one wants their car to explode when they start it”. I think that’s exactly it. I think everyone is scared of the Clinton Machine. After all, there have been many suspicious deaths around the Clintons over the years.

    A Clinton campaign spokesman, Howard Wolfson, said in an email: “Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic party and its candidates, including Senator Clinton. During Mr. Hsu’s many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and we have absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question. gets a pass.”

    What else needs to be said?

    To quote Hillary’s spokesman:

    During Mr. Hsu’s many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity

    And, of course, there is no doubt about the man’s integrity: he’s a fugitive from justice. He might have money, but integrity? There’s no doubt whatsoever: he’s a criminal. A crook. Scum. Zero Integrity.

    It should therefore come as no surprise that Hillary’s campaign (a) had no doubt about Hsu’s integrity, and (b) took money from him anyway.

    How much of Hillary’s opportunistic history, including defending and enabling the Convicted Felon she’s married to, do we have to rehash to convince ourselves that she is a bottom feeder masquerading as a leader?

    I can think of no low too low for her, or for any of her true supporters.

    She will owe a lot of favors if she were to be elected and her socialist’s tendecies will make her queen of a no middle class America however Mr Hsu will fit nicely at the elite top because of his donations and the labor union bosses will be in that elite group as well. The only thing missing in a Hillary Clinton Presidency is the middle class and it is still shocking to me to think that a major party such as the Democratic Party could put a socialist at the top of their ticket in the 21st century after much history has proven it does not work, but I guess that never has stopped them (socialists) from trying.

    Like so many stories that will fall by the wayside if we ignore it, I just linked and sent out numerous e-mails containing the story from the source. Afraid if it’s sent using any link to a blogsite it’ll just get passed over as another myth. Half my friends are clueless and rely solely on the MSM for their news, though when a story is pointed out they’re interested. The jury is still out on the other half.

    HSU represents the Chinese government, and makes sure that the money flows where they want it to flow. Let’s not forget the Bill Clinton gave important US weapons technology to the Chinese so that they could better launch their satellites. Now, of course, that same technology is being used to track and potentially destroy satellites in orbit.
    The Chinese are betting that the Clinton machine will bring Hillary into the Presidency and they are just bribing whomever so that they have leverage on another known and corrupt US President.
    This story is too hot to handle for the MSM, and they don’t really want Hillary to look bad.

    I would love to say that this story will blow up into a huge scandal.

    But you and I both know it won’t. Not only will Hillary be shielded by a friendly press, but she’s a Clinton. And if we’ve learned anything about those two it is that nothing much ever sticks to them.

    But when you take this case along with the Marc Rich fundraising scandal, you have to wonder if some day, her campaign will slip up and really step in it. There’s still plenty of time to go before the election and you have to wonder how many Mr. Hsu’s are out there.

    Rick Moran raises a good point: in a rotten house one must be careful where one steps and into which rooms one leads their guests.

    The Clinton’s have built up a huge karma cloud overthemselves. Someday they will run out of umbrellas.

    Somehow Iraq is going to test Hillary’s credibility and integrity like no other candidate- she has the most to lose.

    Iraq- GWB’s last laugh on the Democrats and their “frontrunner” (aka lead poser).

    Rick Moran – “Not only will Hillary be shielded by a friendly press, but she’s a Clinton.”

    More so will she be shielded now that Edwards and Obama are looking like they can’t get the nomination, much less win. The Dems have to protect her as their only viable (to them) candidate. And the Clintons themselves are experts at running through the barnyard without getting their shoes dirty.
