“Hillraiser” and fugitive from justice Norman Hsu captured in Colorado (MORE: HSU NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE?)
*scroll for updates*
Via the San Francisco Chronicle:
Fugitive political fundraiser Norman Hsu, who skipped out on San Mateo County authorities this week rather than face sentencing for a 1992 fraud conviction, was apprehended Thursday night by federal and local lawmen in Grand Junction, Colo.
Authorities said Hsu was taken into custody at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction at 7 p.m. local time. He had been on the lam for almost two days after failing to appear in a Redwood City courtroom Wednesday to surrender his passport.
Hsu was taken off a passenger train at the Grand Junction train station earlier in the day by paramedics who requested a backboard to move him, said Sgt. Lonnie Chavez with the Grand Junction Police Department.
Authorities received a request for medical assistance at the train station at about 11:15 a.m., but the exact nature of Hsu’s condition was unclear, Chavez said. Staff at St. Mary’s Hospital declined to comment.
FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler said Hsu will be returned to California on the 1992 conviction once released from the hospital.
Ken McCracken at WILLisms has more on corruptocrats and their association with Hillary, and suggests a possible link betweeen Hsu and Chinagate, Bill Clinton’s Big Misadventure.
Brian at Liberty Pundit has tons of links to Dem corruption, and makes a great point about it all:
Anyone Else Notice Dems Aren’t Talking About Corruption Anymore?
Related to that point, Captain Ed points to a Washington Post story which notes just how recently Hsu was meeting up with prominent Democrats like Howard Dean and Eliot Spitzer.
As I’ve said before, meet the new boss, same as the … well, you get the picture.
PM Update: The plot thickens. Via ABC’s The Blotter:
Mysterious Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu is in custody again, after a brief return to a fugitive lifestyle he maintained for 15 years. But new questions are cropping up about his past.
The latest puzzle: Despite funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into Democratic coffers, Norman Hsu is not a member of the Democratic party. In fact, records appear to reflect he isn’t even registered to vote.
Hsu’s name does not appear on voter rolls in either California, where Hsu lived in the 1980s and early 1990s, or in New York, where he lived more recently, according to documents and state officials.
[...]
Hsu, reportedly a naturalized U.S. citizen, would have been eligible to vote, say experts, even after his 1992 conviction on a fraud-related felony charge.
While California and New York state laws bar imprisoned and paroled felons from voting, Hsu was never sentenced for his 1992 felony conviction. Hsu skipped out on his sentencing hearing, returning to court only last week — before skipping out again.
For those 15 years, “he was in a gray area,” said Ryan King, a policy analyst with the nonprofit Sentencing Project, which studies state and federal incarceration policies. According to the laws, “he was eligible to vote until the moment he’s sentenced to prison or parole.”
So the dude raised megabucks for the DNC … but wasn’t registered to vote? Hmmm …

I think this “boss” is worse, not the same. The Dems made a big stink about Jack Abramoff, but consider two facts: he wasn’t a convict at the time he was up to no good, and he was an equal-opportunity sleaze. Harry Reid was among the many Democrats who took his money.
Hsu, on the other hand, is a fugitive, and has been for 15 years, and gave his money exclusively to Democrats. If the Abramoff case was a taste of corruption, this is a three-course meal of it.
And I’m not buying any excuses that they didn’t know Hsu was dirty. If Hillary could figure out how to illegally get the FBI files of hundreds of people on her enemies list, she could have found out Hsu was on the run from the public records and sounded the alarm for all the Dem recipients. If Chuckie Schumer’s Senate campaign organization could use identity theft to hack their way into Michael Steele’s credit reports, they could have checked up on Hsu legitimately.
The former and current attorney generals of New York State took Hsu contributions; so much for them “vetting-out” their contributors. My Senator and Presidential candidate Dodd has announced he won’t take money from convicted fugitive felons; I feel better already!
Wow…they found him alive…
- Hmmmm…..Undefined Injuries huh….Maybe the indominable Hsu resisted arrest, and got his clock cleaned by an irate red neck who saw his party button when he was sitting at the Dinning car bar.
- Wonder why Pelosi is so quiet these days. Maybe someone pointed out that “Corruption, like charity, begins at home”….
- BBH –
I am thinking that his apparent “suicide” is more likely to be an “Arkencide”.
This just in…. Prominent Clinton supporter found dead in an apparent suicide. Man found shot in back 5 times with 2 different guns by local police. Weapons never recovered…..developing
This is the possible/inevitable “reward” for making the Clintons look like “criminals” when dealing with them. – Lorica
OMG Tom I thought you were joking, but Dodd did actually make that statement.
Tooo Funny. – Lorica
This is why the whole larrry Craig ordeal is inane to me too.
I mean come on- politicians are hypocrites as sure as the sun shines and the sky is blue.
Has anyone noticed that the MSM is talking more about Bin Laden’s beard that this very important story?? Tell me the MSM doesn’t get it’s talking points from the Clinton War Room, and I will call you a liar to your face. Holy Bin Laden’s Beard Batman!!! – Lorica
Lorica, whatta ya thin about my theory in the post before this?
Hun, I completely agree with your sentiment. I don’t believe this is bin Laden either. I believe that OBL has either died from his diabetes or was killed in one of our attacks. I believe that they used a stand in or used old video and colorized his beard. I also believe that OBL was preparing for his death and made video and audio for years to come.
I think the primary purpose of this video is to detract from the real story of the day and that is Hill’s relationship with yet another foreign criminal. Like I said before, the MSM is more interested in Bin Laden’s beard, than what is going on with Hsu. – Lorica
