Hillary Dumps Hsu Funny Money

Scandal over? Hillary got caught with illicitly obtained campaign funds, so now she's getting rid of the dirty cash. She won't face criminal charges, and the press won't pursue the scandal. They are too busy with the Craig matter. It looks like a Clinton has once again gotten away with possessing illegal campaign funds:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said yesterday it will give away $23,000 in donations from a New York businessman after it was revealed he's been on the lam from California authorities for 15 years.

Get this--the fugitive Hsu, who had funneled dirty money to Hillary, was supposed to host a fund raiser for Billary:

"In light of the new information regarding Mr. [Norman] Hsu's outstanding warrant in California, we will be giving his contributions to charity," said Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson.

Wolfson also said Hsu would not co-host a Sept. 30 fund-raising gala for Clinton in California.

And your telling me they didn't know this guy was a crook:

[...]Hsu, an apparel executive, major Democratic rainmaker and donor to various Clinton committees, pleaded guilty in a Ponzi scheme in 1991 but fled before his sentencing.

[...]He has been wanted by California authorities since 1991, when he pleaded no contest to grand-theft charges arising from a $1 million pyramid scheme, the state Attorney General's Office said.

[...]for at least three years Hsu has been "hiding in plain sight" as a prominent fund-raiser based in New York. It was unknown why the California prosecutors were unaware of his whereabouts.
