Who’s Hsu?
From the Wall Street Journal’s Political Diary (link not available):
All of this is very reminiscent of the 1996 Clinton fundraising scandal. A total of 120 witnesses either fled the country, pleaded the Fifth Amendment or otherwise were unavailable for questioning. In the end, a total of 14 people were found guilty on various charges relating to the scandal. No wonder the Hillary Clinton campaign wants to change the subject away from Mr. Hsu.
So will Hsu, who surrendered to authorities yesterday, talk about where his money came from, why he from all appearances laundered political contributions through others, and what favors he or his ultimate funders, if any, are looking for? Based on the track record of the previous scandal — Doubtful.
People forget how the Clinton’s were responsible for the largest bribe in history to ex-American hero, Ohio’s own Sen. John Glenn in order to cover up Chinese money, treason, and general corruption:
“Under Clinton management, shuttle missions slowed to a trickle… except when one was needed to bribe Ohio Senator and former astronaut John Glenn with a free ride back into space as payment for Glenn’s obstruction of Senate investigation and impeachment proceedings against President Clinton.†( http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=5281E3A1-21F0-4FFB-BDD0-A9112B714BDE )
Who was the Republican chairman of the committee that rolled over for them? Fred Thompson
