Captain's Quarters -

Looks like Vince Foster has another friendly fish to swim with.....

if they went through a bail bondsman then he will be dragged in by the scruff of the neck in reasonably short order.

if they did it out of "discretionary funds" thats another thing although i can only think of a few non governmental outfits that can put up the total amount easily.

just think. its a win win for the court. twenty minutes of court time, two million in fees. next time the guy shows up he immediately goes into cuffs, legirons and belly band with a very large deputy on the other end of a ten foot chain.

C

Who'd have predicted this? Well, let's see... the guy was on the lam for how many years? Then the judge gave him bail and allowed him to keep his passport? Duh!

Mr. Hsu is either safely on territory controlled by the PRC, or quietly decomposing like other former embarrassments to the Clintons... take your choice.

I'm shocked.

Shocked I tell you.

Why did he not immediately go into cuffs, leg irons and belly band this time? I think the Judge was thrown off course by the fact that Hsu gave himself up so quickly instead of running. And I think the reason that Hsu gave himself up so quickly was for safety. He was thrown off-guard by the arrest and he didn't know how to proceed. After a few hours in jail his rescuers showed up and showed him the way and he has now been spirited away to a place so safe no one will ever find him and question him-in fact, his fears were maybe well founded.

It's all a misunderstanding. He supports Democrats so he was under the impression that he didn't have to go to jail.

I just wonder if the judge who granted bail was "paid a visit" to stress how good it would be to grant bail.

Nah now in about 60 days time he can go back to doing what he is good at funneling foreign government funds to the election campaigns of Democrats. No one will notice him, at least they did not last time. Might have to wear a wig this time though for the campaign photos...

I'll bet Hillary and Bill are just shocked that this would have happened and know nothing about it.

I'll bet Hillary and Bill are just shocked that this would have happened and know nothing about it.

Lemme see... California... land of fruits and flakes... activist judges... Hollywood loons... why would we assume that following the path of logic and locking up this miscreant would be the appropriate response?? Hmmmm.... Why??

Maybe he is hiding in a Clinton safehouse..

Haha,

We know exactly where Mr. Hsu is. He didn't leave the country without having his passport passed through the electronic readers that we maintain at all ports of egress from the United States.

He's gone, and you'll never see him again.

Pooooooof.

Per my comment last week about the idiot judge lowering bail for a known criminal who has already evaded incarceration ... the judge is probably complicit. Not much different from L.A. judges who get Paris Hilton out of jail early or actors gone wild out of the slammer just in time for filming their next movie to begin.

If Hsu isn't found suffering from Arkancide in Fort Marcy Park he'll probably soon be seen waving from the safety of his handlers in Beijing.

failed to appear for a bail reduction hearing? That means he must have paid the full $2,000,000 bail. He must have had no trouble raising it-hope he didn't use his parents' or his wife's and children's homes although there is no honor among thieves is there? Captain Ed is right-we need to know where the money came from and who posted it and why. And it needs to be forfeited without mercy.

Well, if he was really a front guy for the Chinese Government, perhaps they yanked him back to the mainland before the Justice Department investigation could get underway.

I want to know if Mr. Hsu is somehow connected to George Soros.

I doubt that we will ever see or hear of Norman Hsu again. With him safely out of the country or swimming with the fishes, the media will drop this like a hot potato, and yet another Clinton fund raising scandal will be ignored.

You would think from a ratings perspective, the MSM would play this up to carry Obama for a few rounds to make things interesting.

perhaps an investigation of the judges' conduct might bear fruit. and if nothing comes up it might cause other judges to be far more careful in their work in the future.

C

I guess I should have added that I find it difficult to believe that a former apparel executive could come up with all of this money. 2 million in bail money, plus the one point whatever million he's donated to various dems.

Jim C

Maybe that moron isn't a moron. Clearly there are a lot of people who would like Hsu to disappear permanently. In addition to a lot of Democrats almost certainly some people in China and maybe a judge or two.

inside guy!

are you inferring that he is "feeding the fishes".

C

He's either on a slow boat to China...or sleeping with the fishes.

Either way, I agree with the people who say that you'll probably never see Norman Hsu again.

Two things got "disappeared" it seems: Hsu, and the judicial career of the judge who granted bail. I'm no legal eagle, but shouldn't failure to appear at a bail hearing trigger something approaching a manhunt?

With a little work you could make a great little parable out of this...

"If the Hsu flits..."

DaveK

Another "indiscretion" disappears down the magical Clinton memory hole - never to be seen or heard from again.

Okey dokey. He hopped on a plane, and left the country BECAUSE HE DOESN'T THINK HILLARY IS ELECTABLE.

Huh?

Well, he'd be pardoned. SO, when he measured out future possibilities; he didn't drop his luck for a Hillary win. And, a presidential pardon, to follow.

That he left? Are you surprised? Marc Rich did, too.

SO, no surprises for me.

While Drudge had up, yesterday, "more news from DC" about Larry Craig. Who is not in DC, now. But who is threatening to come back; and to withdraw his resignation letter. And, that "compass of moral authority, Arlen SPecter," is goading him on. (Why not? The lawyers see the holes in the charges. Our Supreme Court midgets; all five of them, gave the boot to Texas sodomy laws) ... and just like Scalia said all perversions will now occur out in the open. And, the people won't have the tools to clean anything up. "Thank you, Souter." "Thank you, Anthony Kennedy." (Did you know Kennedy's pissed off he wasn't chosen Chief?)

What a mess.

Just in case you think you have to look elsewhere; we've got messes galore coming from our elected officials. And, then those privileged few who get nominated to top slots. See? It ain't just the pentagon and State that's all messed up.

Can it be fixed?

Well, won't that depend on whom we elect in 2008?

Hopefully, not Mitt Romney. I can't stand another piece of Massa2shits; even if he's photogenic. But that's just me. And, I'm just sharing my opinion.

I dunno. The judge who granted bail may have earned an appointment to the 9th Circus Court of Appeals for wanton disregard to his oath of office.

2 million is peanuts considering the billions in influence Hsu appears to have purchased. With AG and former AG Cuomo and Spitzer on the receiving end they probably knew which judge would willingly fix the bail problem. Remember that Nifong wouldn't have been able to work the system for as many months were he unaware of which ones in the legal system were willing to play along.

If Hsu isn't dead he's probably chatting with Mark Rich about how easily junk justice can be bought.

"Where in the world is Norman Hsu?' Wherever "out of the reach of prosecutors, grand juries, Congressional committees and various other law enforcement" is.

We know exactly where Mr. Hsu is. He didn't leave the country without having his passport passed through the electronic readers that we maintain at all ports of egress from the United States.

Inside guy,
That's not true at all. Of use to Mr. Hsu, the entire California border with Mexico let's people walk straight across to Mexico without stopping. There is absolutely no record of who leaves the US via Chula Vista. You can also walk back into the US with only a driver's license. I did it last month.

Is she stunned? Is she gasping for breath? Is she demanding to know how he could do this to her?

Poor, poor Hillary. She wants to rule the world, but her men don't do her right...

BTW, I have to object to your headline. There are many respectable Lams in the Chinese community...

Also, Mexico does not check ID or even look at your face when you enter Tijuana. There is no record of travel on either side of the border.

The old trick. He crossed into Mexico walking backwards. Everyone thought he was sneaking into the country, and ignored him.

Fifteen years later, the long arm of the law finally caught up with Hsu after funneling over $1.5 million to Democrats around the country.

My understanding is that the WSJ uncovered this and prompted the law to wake up and pay attention.

The Justice Dept does not display much interest in pursuing corruption unless the people involved have the letter "R" after their name.

It's obvious...Hsu's on second, Trie headed home, Willie just scored and now there's a paws in the action while the Sants go marching in. All for Hillary's favorite team. (Ok, I posted this before and am now plagiarizing myself, I have a fever)

This is serious stuff, and I do hope they catch him.

Ok, it's not as serious as Republican Christian Senators trying to blow guys in a public toilet stall, or missing billions of dollars that was suppose to go to Iraq infrastructure, or missing weapons that have now fallen into the hands of our enemies, or the continuing failure of the Iraqi "government" to govern, so they can stand up while we stand down, or only meeting 3 of the 18 benchmarks we gave them....

But, anything to distract, huh? Good luck. I'm sure Americans all over are forgetting about those little troubles in order to focus more on this Chinese Fundraiser dude.

That's the ticket.

Poor Hsu,he has gotten lost again!!!

timpundit

It sure is important when we don't know where a foreign national (from one of our biggest competitors) gets all his funding money. I prefer my government to be bought by American companies, not foreign governments, thank you very much.

timpundit,

Okay, I see how it works... private matters are only private matters if you're a Democrat, every scandal that involves a Democrat is a distraction for what a "failure" Iraq is... blah, blah, blah...

Why are you working so hard to denfend Hillary's law breaking buddy?

Jim C

Too late to swipe my idea, I emailed it to the Spike network, first. A reality show, but this time a good one, with a real story. Dog the Bounty Hunter. 'Nuff said.

Timpundit,

Considering the Clintons criminal past with Asian campaign contributions and their reckless disregard for national security by selling guided missile technology to the Chinese, this is a big deal. The last thing the country needs is another Clinton in the White House bought and paid for by the Chinese.

In exchange for campaign contributions, the Clintons sold some our most sensitive missile technology to a potential enemy. In exchange for campaign contributions, the Clintons sold pardons for major league criminals including tax cheats, drug dealers and other assorted scum. In exchange for campaign contributions, the Clintons rented out the Lincoln bedroom. Do you see a pattern here?

"Where in the world is Norman Hsu?"

New board game. Red Chinese Chairman Norman Hsu's Textile and other import/export Business Properties Listed with named democratic party members for each donation.

Hsu Spy Game levels:

1. Lowest: Special Agent Hsu payoffs to Democratic elected officals.(Note: So easy a KosKid could play!)
2. Mid: 1st Lady Hillary's office & Sandy Pants.(NOTE: Progressively difficult even for exprienced players.)
3. Highest: Red Army supporting ETIM Chinese Muslim terrorist group (Afghanistan-based) connected to Osama bin Laden

Extra points for landing on secret Red Chinese Army holdings outside of mainland China! Double points for Red Chinese Army safe havens inside USA and Mexico.
Game includes Top Secret Clinton money rooms! Various Clues: Sandy was there with the Chairman and 911 Report disinformation campaign!
Multiple Game strategies. Winner of the game owns Tiawan Island!

"If Mr Hsu is connected to the Chinese in any way you will never see him again. I'd be interested to know what restraints were put on him in regards to travel, passports etc.

This guy is dirty--the question is finding out from what. We also know that Hillary is lying, the question is if it's just a white lie. In today's world, as the LA Times mentioned, it takes five minutes to do a background check.

Also of note is the coincidence previously mentioned that the ex head of Loral, connected with the technology transfer that Bill Clinton approved against the wishes of several government agencies including the Defense Department, is also on the same board as Hsu at that school in New York headed by ex Senator Kerrey. Occam's razor"...

..............................................

Now that Hsu has jumped bail look for Hillary to appear in her pink dress very soon. It works every time.

Why are no Republicans holding press conferences and demanding an investigation? How did this guy elude justice for so long and then elude justice once again? If all his companies appear to be shell companies, where did all the money he donated to the Dems come from and what exactly did it buy? Did his work for the Dems, funneling dirty money, earn him his freedom?

I can't believe the GOP isn't making an issue of this? Where is the Justice Dept.? Has the GOP gone completely brain-dead, only obsessed with what people are doing in bathroom stalls?

Think what the Dems would be doing if this was a GOP fundraiser who defrauded investnors of a million dollars and then funneled momey into party coffers, all while on the lam from the law. And now he disappears.

Does the GOP have a pulse?

The answer Proud is, no the GOP does not have a pulse. They have not had one since newt got the boot. There are no attacks dogs left. It is left up to bloggers.

I wondered when or even if any of our resident liberals would show up, or if they were too embarrassed by this to comment. I should have had more faith! timpundit came in and, in a surprise move... bashed Bush and the war in Iraq.

Wow.

I've written before that democrats are degenerates with no moral values at all, and my point gets proven again and again. I think that Hillary could be caught on video grilling a puppy (using charcoal instead of pro-pane, no less!) and the reaction of the average dem would be:

"Everybody does it, and Bush lied!"

As for Hsu, it'll be interesting to see if anybody EVER sees him again. It'll also be interesting to see if the DoJ rouses itself long enough to wonder whatever happened to him and the money.

So what did the California court do? Let him out on bail again -- and Hsu has apparently skipped again, to no one's surprise but the moron who granted bail in the first place.

I guess we have a good notion of who Hillary's first Supreme Cout nominee would be.

It's time to call Dog - The Bounty Hunter!

"Looks like Vince Foster has another friendly fish to swim with....."

Exactly spot on, zdploa!

And now, it should be perfectly clear to all, just why, 9 months ago that Barack O'Bama petitioned for Secret Service protection.

psssst....Senator O'Bama? Beware of Secret Service agents with Arkansas accents.

One last thing. Could it be that since I have seen no conspiracy theories over at Kos, DU or HuffPo that Cheney or Rove have Hsu tied to a tree somewhere, that indeed most of the Leftists DO believe that Hillary pressed the "Easy" button on this one?

Does the GOP have a pulse?

Well, if the past few months are any indication, then I'd say no, but...

...wouldn't this make a wonderful October surprise?

And we all thought Karl Rove was done with politics.

Hatch-Hsu was a sneeze away from becoming a major pain in the Hildabeasts' side. Further investigations would have certainly continued. My bet is we will never see Hsu again, which will put the Paws under the microscope. And the Chinese connection still smells from the first go-around.

Of course this would be front page news if this were a Republican candidate, and you'd have the makings for a watergate2.......C'mon Woodward, get some cahones and make the Post famous again.

Those Dems who gladdly took Hsu's money, are in the process of trying to look like they were innocent in accepting dirty money from a known fraud and fugitive.

Of course, we will never be able to prove the money was actually donated; and if they did, I'll bet that the 'charity' will turn right around and funnel it back to the same Dems via a PAC or 527.

Proud Kaffir: I had thought that Hillary's first Supreme Court nomination would be one of her brothers (since she is shameless) or maybe Spitzer for appointing her husband as her NY Senate replacement but you're right...she owes this judge big time and he seems to be at the level of her standards (ethically challenged,IMO)

Of course the California court let him go, he's a democrat supporter. If he had been a republican supporter who was caught, he'd be held without bail and every Democrat would be claiming that this is all a part of the republican's "Culture of Corruption."

As to where he is now, he's just laying low in Canada for a few months until he can arrange a flight to Italy.

He is hidden along with the Rose Law Firm billing records.

A time to remember that the BAIL BONDING business is such a good one; that every phone book I've ever gotten has this "set out" with the bail bondsman advertising his business.

The bondsman who got Hsu "outta jail," won't go broke, either.

ANd, with Larry Craig "not quite resigned," but only having offered his "INTENT" to resign; has also shown us that you can't even commit a crime to get arrested; when you go into a known homosexual hang-out toilet; and you DO THE ROUTINE! Sure. Without words. Like a deaf person.

And, ya know what? We're watching a "run" on "yes, you can, too, get away with it!"

Of course, my sympathy meter's busted.

But it's been broken for awhile.

And, over at Fred Thompson's site? GOOD LUCK TO YA. Cause all I saw was his wanting me to commit. Give him money.

Well, don't buy in too early. They'll never leave ya alone!

I don't know why everyone's so confused as to where Hsu is. He's off being Hillary's chum. (Heeeeere shark-y, shark-y, shark-y...)
