Authorities discovered envelopes full of letters from politicians, including one Fed-Ex envelope devoted to letters from Hillary Rodham Clinton, thanking Mr. Hsu, who was her biggest fund-raiser. source

Among the items in Norman Hsu’s personal collection of Clinton memorabilia: CDs of presentations made by Hillary Clinton as well as an envelope of thank-you notes from the Democratic presidential front-runner.

The contents were revealed the day after the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York said it found a saxophone signed by Bill Clinton and about 200 bottles of fine wine and Champagne. The Red Cross said Mr. Hsu purchased the instrument at auction for $26,000 at an event for the group attended by both men in October 2005.

The prosecutors’ inventory of seized items provided a glimpse into Mr. Hsu’s life. In September, the U.S. attorney in New York charged Mr. Hsu with running a Ponzi scheme that allegedly cost his investors $60 million. He was also charged with pressuring investors to donate to candidates, and reimbursing some, which is illegal. Mr. Hsu has said he didn’t reimburse people for donations. He is being held in California on a separate, 16-year-old grand-theft charge also involving an alleged Ponzi scheme.

It has been 33 days since Hillary Rodham Clinton promised to return $850,000 in dirty money from Democrat swindler, Norman Hsu. There are no reports that she has fulfilled her promise.

It has been 984 days since John F. Kerry promised to sign SF 180 and make his service records public.

And the count continues…..

It has been 30 days since Hillary Rodham Clinton promised to return $850,000 in dirty money from Democrat swindler, Norman Hsu. There are no reports that she has fulfilled her promise.

It’s been 645 days since Al Gore was offered the opportunity (in person) to facilitate serious debate on the underlying science of global climate change.

It has been 761 days since Sandy Berger agreed in a plea deal to take a lie detector test. Hasn’t happened.

It has been 981 days since John F. Kerry promised to sign SF 180 and make his service records public. By the way Senator Kerry, here is a link you can use, just in case you’ve forgotten.

I have searched all over the internet, and I can’t find any evidence whatsoever, that Hillary Clinton has returned the $875,000 in tainted donations from disgraced democrat fundraiser Norman Hsu.

Doug from Upland has been busy. Last night, I read about his trip to the FBI and his subsequent trip to Judge Matz’s chambers to discuss the campaign finance violations that he has investigated.

WND reports on Doug’s visit with the judge…

A federal judge who stated in court Sen. Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with the planning and preparation for a scandal-plagued Hollywood fundraiser, received by hand-delivery yesterday a transcript of a videotape that allegedly captures the New York Democrat committing felonies related to the event.

The transcript, along with a letter demanding a hearing, was hand-delivered to Federal Judge A. Howard Matz by Douglas Cogan, a regular contributor to FreeRepublic.com who has followed the case closely and helped produce a documentary.

As WND reported, the tape – held by the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 2001 to 2007 – documents a July 2000 phone call that purportedly shows Clinton taking an active role in the production of the fundraiser.

Business mogul Peter Franklin Paul, who has filed a $17 million fraud lawsuit against Sen. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, contends the senator’s participation in soliciting performers and planning for the August 2000 Hollywood fundraiser would make his more than $1.2 million in contributions to the event a direct donation to her Senate campaign rather than to a joint fundraising committee. That would violate federal statutes that limit “hard money” contributions to a candidate to $2,000 per person. Knowingly accepting or soliciting $25,000 or more in a calendar year is a felony carrying a prison sentence of up to five years.

Matz, who was appointed by President Clinton, presided over the 2005 trial of Sen. Clinton’s campaign finance director David Rosen who was acquitted of filing false financial reports of the fundraiser.

At the outset, Matz declared, “This isn’t a trial about Senator Clinton.”

Well, not yet, anyway. The wheels of justice …

William S. Lerach, Bill Clinton bud, trial lawyer, and big time Dem donor has bought his last politician. For a few years, anyway…

During the past two decades, Lerach and his family have contributed more than $1.6 million to federal candidates and hosted a fundraiser for President Clinton at his Rancho Santa Fe home.

He has also given hundreds of thousands of dollars to state officials, including more than $200,000 to former Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat.

Lerach was so notorious among executives that Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Lungren briefly made him a 1998 campaign issue.

Lungren claimed that Davis might appoint Lerach to the state Supreme Court, a claim that wasn’t taken seriously. For one thing, it would have forced Lerach to take a pay cut of many millions of dollars each year.

Last week, Lerach pleaded guilty to conspiracy while at his old firm of Milberg Weiss for participating in a scheme to pay kickbacks to recruit plaintiffs for 150 class-action lawsuits against U.S. companies.

He agreed to forfeit $7.75 million in unlawful gains, pay a $250,000 fine and accept a prison sentence ranging between one and two years. source

Lerach is definitely a clintonoid, but this time around, he was also very partial to a fellow ambulance chaser, the gorgeous John Edwards.
