“Hillary’s presidential campaign knew since at least June that there were serious questions about China-born [Norman] Hsu, her own top fundraiser now behind bars. Yet she agreed to return the $860,000 he bundled for her from mostly Asian donors only after the scandal broke in the press. Even so, she’s declined to publicly identify the 260 donors, and may ask for some of the funds back. Now as [in 1996, former deputy White House chief of staff Harold] Ickes is involved, this time as an adviser to her campaign. And the same guy who courted all the shady Asian donors in last decade’s Clinton campaigns is heading Hillary’s fundraising now. His name: Terry McAuliffe. Seems they’re up to their old tricks. Hillary claims she had no reason to vet big Asian donors to her presidential campaign, no reason to be suspicious of them. She suggests critics who think she should have been more suspect are racist... But the Ickes notes clearly show Hillary had every reason to check out Hsu, with whom she and Bill snapped photos and whom she let fete her campaign manager in all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas. Even though she was first lady at the time, Hillary was a key point person for her husband’s fundraising activities and had close ties to [Yah Lin ‘Charlie’] Trie and other shady Chinese donors. These included Johnny Chung, who delivered a $50,000 check to her in the White House—money that came from leaders of China’s military... Hsu is cut from the same cloth as the other ethnic-Chinese hustlers and bagmen with whom Hillary rubbed elbows last decade. She should have known better than to look the other way as he raised more money for her than anybody.” —Investor’s Business Daily
