Norman Hsu indicted in NY; indictment added; feds want Billy Boy’s sax back, plus “bottles of wine and champagne”

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 4, 2007 01:29 PM

Just in from AP:

A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted Norman Hsu, a top Democratic fundraiser accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the money to make illegal donations to political campaigns.

In the 15-count indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the government accused the 56-year-old clothing-industry entrepreneur of duping investors nationwide with a massive Ponzi scheme.

The Hillary Clinton campaign was too busy digging through Barack Obama’s homework to respond.

And a demand that Hsu forfeit several items, including a sax from Billy Boy and some bottles of wine…

    Did Hillary ever donate or give back the money she obtained from Hsu? Only to have it mysteriously return to her somehow?

    I’m still amazed he has not committed Arkancide yet. The more his nefarious activities in Campaign funding fraud see the light of day one can only hope the Clinton’s will also be indicted as co-conspirators too.

    Having bilked investors out of $20 million, Hsu could afford to buy one.

    It is amazing that Hillary was mentioning Barak’s funding methods just a few days ago, she has some nerve!!

    As if the desire to be president when your in kindergarten shows some unnatural desire to manipulate your way to the presidency. boy is that pointing the finger at yourself, Hil.

    Funny, everything she has against Barak she is doing herself.

    It never ceases to amaze me that the Clintons can get away with so much. It’s frustrating that there are people who will still vote for them despite it all. I guess, for some, the end really does justify the means.

    I am thinking that Hsu will get some slick Hillary lawyer and the trial will drag out till after the election . Then as standard the MSM will ignore most of it, except as a small footnote.

    Could we be lucky enough, that this is the string that unravells the Clinton cloak.

    Will Nancy include this as part of here culture of corruption?

    Naw just a dream for justice.

    Don’t forget the fact that he’s still a bail jumper here in CA, and been a wanted fugitive for many years. That will have to wait, I guess, until the current indictment is tried. In any case, he seems to be looking at a long stretch somewhere where the sun don’t shine.

    I say that Hill and Bill are far worse than Nixon, King Richard loved this country and had the courage to leave office for the betterment of the nation.
    Did Bill?

    The hate focused on Nixon was from nothing like what Bill is guilty of.

    For as much flak as its worth we impeached a loyal, tough President with twice the IQ of Bill Clinton for the equivalent of you or I taking an extra newspaper out of a machine and left Bill Clinton in office for lying under oath.
